<p>PyMuPDF (fitz) provides easy to use ways to create PDF documents out of simple texts.</p>
<p>An example is the text output of Python's calendar module. Here we take a starting year as script parameter and output a 3-page (A4 landscape) document with calendars for this and the following two years - in less than 20 lines of code.</p>

</p>
<p>PyMuPDF now supports drawing pie charts on a PDF page.</p>
<p>Important parameters for the function are center of the circle, one of the two arc's end points and the angle of the circular sector. The function will draw the pie piece (in a variety of options) and return the arc's calculated other end point for any subsequent processing.</p>
<p>This example creates a chart of the parliament seat distribution for political parties in the current German Bundestag.</p>

</p>
<p>Among dozens of other filetypes, FileOptimizer also compresses PDFs - often significantly.
The issue is that the used plugin <em>smpdf</em> is free for non-commercial use only and it annoyingly <strong>also overwrites metadata</strong> information to state this.</p>
<p>The following tool remedies these metadata changes (but not the license situation!).</p>
