Description-en: PDF file manipulation library (Python 2)
pdfrw can read and write PDF files, and can also be used to read in PDFs which
can then be used inside reportlab.
.
pdfrw tries to be agnostic about the contents of PDF files, and support them
as containers, but to do useful work, something a little higher-level is
required. It supports the following:
.
* PDF pages. pdfrw knows enough to find the pages in PDF files you read in,
and to write a set of pages back out to a new PDF file.
* Form XObjects. pdfrw can take any page or rectangle on a page, and convert
it to a Form XObject, suitable for use inside another PDF file
* reportlab objects. pdfrw can recursively create a set of reportlab objects
from its internal object format. This allows, for example, Form XObjects to
be used inside reportlab.
.
This package installs the library for Python 2.
