pikepdf is a Python library allowing the creation, manipulation, and repair of PDFs. It provides a Pythonic wrapper around the C++ PDF content transformation library, QPDF. Python + QPDF = “py” + “qpdf” = “pyqpdf”, which looks like a dyslexia test and is no fun to type. But say “pyqpdf” out loud, and it sounds like “pikepdf”. pikepdf is a library intended for developers who want to create, manipulate, parse, repair, and abuse the PDF format. It supports reading and write PDFs, including creating from scratch. Thanks to QPDF, it supports linearizing PDFs and access to encrypted PDFs.

Features

  • Copy pages from one PDF into another
  • Extract content from a PDF such as images
  • Replace content, such as replacing an image without altering the rest of the file
  • Repair, reformat or linearize PDFs
  • Change the size of pages and reposition content
  • Calculate how much to charge for a scanning project based on the materials scanned
