pypdf

I'm trying to dynamically generate PDFs from user input, where I basically print the user input and overlay it on an existing PDF that I did not create. It works, with one major exception. Adobe Reader doesn't read it properly, on Windows or on Linux. QuickOffice on my phone doesn't read it either. So I thought I'd trace the path of me creating the files - 1 - Original PDF of background PDF 1.2 made with Adobe Distiller with the LZW encoding. I didn't make this. 2 - PDF of background PDF 1.4 made with Ghostscript. I used pdf2ps then ps2pdf on the above to strip LZW so that the reportlab and

I have been looking for a solution for this problem : I have two landscape-oriented A3 pdfs with images and I want to overlay them in a manner that the resulting pdf contains both images merged into one as if one of them was a watermark, but with the same density. Think of it as if about printing two different pdfs on one A3 sheet of paper, I want to get exactly that effect. In other words - just came up with a way to express it - I would like to overlay two pdfs and for the upper layer, make all the "white" area transparent. Basically, I just followed steps in any solution from this question:

Using pypdf python module how to read the following pdf file http://www.envis-icpe.com/pointcounterpointbook/Hindi_Book.pdf # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from pyPdf import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader import pyPdf def getPDFContent(path): content = "" # Load PDF into pyPDF pdf = pyPdf.PdfFileReader(file(path, "rb")) # Iterate pages for i in range(0, pdf.getNumPages()): # Extract text from page and add to content content += pdf.getPage(i).extractText() + "\n" # Collapse whitespace content = " ".join(content.replace(u"\xa0", " ").strip().split()) return content print getPDFContent("/home/tom/Desktop

I'm using Python 3.4.2 and PyPDF2 1.24 (also using reportlab 3.1.44 in case that helps) on windows 7. I recently upgraded from Python 2.7 to 3.4, and am in the process of porting my code. This code is used to create a blank pdf page with links embedded in it (using reportlab) and merge it (using PyPDF2) with an existing pdf page. I had an issue with reportlab in that saving the canvas used StringIO which needed to be changed to BytesIO, but after doing that I ran into this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\cms_software\pdf_replica\builder.py", line 401, in merge_pdf_files

I'm having trouble incorporating pyPDF logic to merge two pdf files into my django site. I have written code that works to merge files when run in a python file on the local server(but I need to explicitly identify which files to merge: from pyPdf import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter output = PdfFileWriter() input1 = PdfFileReader(file("abc_form0.pdf", "rb")) input2 = PdfFileReader(file("abc_form1.pdf", "rb")) total_pages = input1.getNumPages() total_pages1 = input2.getNumPages() for page in xrange(total_pages): output.addPage(input1.getPage(page)) for page in xrange(total_pages1): output
