ABOUT

• A Pure-Python library built as a PDF toolkit. It is capable of:

extracting document information (title, author, …) splitting documents page by page merging documents page by page cropping pages merging multiple pages into a single page encrypting and decrypting PDF files and more! By being Pure-Python, it should run on any Python platform without any dependencies on external libraries. It can also work entirely on StringIO objects rather than file streams, allowing for PDF manipulation in memory. It is therefore a useful tool for websites that manage or manipulate PDFs.

• The PdfFileReader Class

class PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(stream, strict=True, warndest=None, overwriteWarnings=True)¶ Initializes a PdfFileReader object. This operation can take some time, as the PDF stream’s cross-reference tables are read into memory.

Parameters: stream – A File object or an object that supports the standard read and seek methods similar to a File object. Could also be a string representing a path to a PDF file. strict (bool) – Determines whether user should be warned of all problems and also causes some correctable problems to be fatal. Defaults to True. warndest – Destination for logging warnings (defaults to sys.stderr). overwriteWarnings (bool) – Determines whether to override Python’s warnings.py module with a custom implementation (defaults to True).
