I am new to PDF, and i want to manipulate the space between the characters in a file. I have read the PDFReference and understood some of it. Now, the problem I have is how to calculate the spaces for the text rendering. I have for example: 1 0 0 1 0 188.28799438 cm BT /F2 11.04 Tf 1 0 0 -1 0 9.38000011 Tm (Some)Tj ( )Tj 21.24200058 0 Td (text)Tj ( )Tj Which I want to turn into this: 1 0 0 1 0 188.28799438 cm BT /F2 11.04 Tf 1 0 0 -1 0 9.38000011 Tm [(S)10(o)10(m)10(e)( )]TJ 21.24200058 0 Td [(t)10(e)10(x)10(t)( )]TJ To add the spaces and then be able to manipulate them. However I was

I'm using reportlab to generate reports. I can define the creation process in four steps: 1) get the data via API, 2) filter the data, 3) generate the graphics with matplotlib and 4) insert information in PDF with reportlab . I found in this (thanks Patrick Maupin !) and in this (thanks Larry Meyn !) answer a flowable matplotlib for ReportLab . I made some changes and I copy below the part of the code that interests: import os from matplotlib import pyplot as plt from matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf import PdfPages from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph, SimpleDocTemplate, Flowable from

I have a project where I need to fill out pre-made PDFs and the most logical solution that comes to mind to accomplish this is to make the pre-made PDFs into PDF forms so there are tags where input values are supposed to go, then I can look through the form tags in the PDF and line them up with a dictionary of values. I have accomplished this using PyPDF2 . Overall, I took an image of a web form and then opened Acrobat and created a PDF form based on the fields seen in the image, then used PyPDF2 for filling out the PDF form fields, but the caveat is that printing those filled in values seems
