Features
fill_form
Fill a PDF with given data and returns the output PDF path
pdf_path : input PDF
datas : dictionnary of fielf names / values
out_file (default=auto) : output PDF path. will use tempfile if not provided
flatten (default=True) : flatten the final PDF
concat
Merge multiple PDFs into one single file and returns the output PDF path
files : list of PDF files to concatenate
out_file (default=auto) : output PDF path. will use tempfile if not provided
get_pages
Concatenate a list of page ranges into one single file and returns the output PDF path
pdf_path : input PDF
ranges (default=[]) : [] for clone, [[2]] for extracting 2nd page, [[1],[2,5],[3]] for concatenating pages 1, 2-5, 3
out_file (default=auto) : output PDF path. will use tempfile if not provided
split
Split a single PDF in many pages and return a list of pages paths
pdf_path : input PDF
out_dir (default=auto) : output PDFs dir. will use tempfile if not provided
warning if you give a out_dir parameter, ensure its empty, or the split function may destroy your files and return incorrect results.
gen_xfdf
Generate a XFDF file suited for filling PDF forms and return the generated XFDF file path
datas : dictionnary of datas
get_num_pages
Return the number of pages for a given PDF
pdf_path : input PDF file
replace_page
Replace a page in a PDF (pdf_path) by the PDF pointed by pdf_to_insert_path.
pdf_path is the PDF that will have its page replaced.
page_number is the number of the page in pdf_path to be replaced. It is 1-based.
pdf_to_insert_path is the PDF that will be inserted at the old page.
stamp
Applies a stamp (from stamp_pdf_path) to the PDF file in pdf_path. If no output_pdf_path is provided, it returns a temporary file with the result PDF.
[compress | uncompress]
These are only useful when you want to edit PDF code in a text editor like vim or emacs. Remove PDF page stream compression by applying the uncompress filter. Use the compress filter to restore compression.
pdf_path : input PDF file
out_file (default=auto) : output PDF path. will use tempfile if not provided
flatten (default=True) : flatten the final PDF
