2017-06-13T10:57:34-07:00

Python recipe 580805 by Jorj X. McKie (calendar, fitz, mupdf, pdf, pymupdf). Revision 2.

PyMuPDF (fitz) provides easy to use ways to create PDF documents out of simple texts.

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.

PDF Text Extraction using fitz / MuPDF (PyMuPDF) (Python)

2016-03-17T12:00:06-07:00

Python recipe 580626 by Jorj X. McKie (cbz, epub, mupdf, openxps, pdf, pymupdf, text_extraction, xps).

Extract all the text of a PDF (or other supported container types) at very high speed. In general, text pieces of a PDF page are not arranged in natural reading order, but in the order they were entered during PDF creation. This script re-arranges text blocks according to their pixel coordinates to achieve a more readable output, i.e. top-down, left-right.

PDF wrapper for FileOptimizer (Python)

2016-10-29T20:22:27-07:00

Python recipe 580711 by Harald Lieder (fileoptimizer, fitz, mupdf, optimization, pdf, pymupdf).

Among dozens of other filetypes, FileOptimizer also compresses PDFs - often significantly. The issue is that the used plugin smpdf is free for non-commercial use only and it annoyingly also overwrites metadata information to state this.

The following tool remedies these metadata changes (but not the license situation!).

Add function to Python's builtin module through C API (C)

2015-10-16T12:11:58-07:00

C recipe 579110 by airween (api, builtins, c, exten, python).

Add function to __builtin__ module through C API

Sometimes it need to embedding a Python script to a C code, and it references to a function, which also provided by the same C code. Then you have to import the module, as you defined in your C code.

But this import would be skipped, if you add your function to your __builtin__ module. In Python3 (3.5), there is the PyModule_AddFunctions() function, but in the previous versions, you can make it like this snippet.

See these recipes:

Python recipe 579073 by Jiri Justra (ctypes, video, xvid).

This is simple library for playing avi video clips. Videos must be SOUNDLESS (and maybe Xvid encoded wont hurt), to work it properly. I am using it to play intro. It suites good to this purpose, since it can play one clip at a time only.
