<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580809 by <a href="/recipes/users/4193772/">Jorj X. McKie</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/fitz/">fitz</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/mupdf/">mupdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf/">pdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/textbox/">textbox</a>). </p> <p>This method inserts text into a predefined rectangular area of a (new or existing) PDF page. Words are distributed across the available space, put on new lines when required etc. Line breaks and tab characters are respected / resolved. Text can be aligned in the box (left, center, right) and fonts can be freely chosen. The method returns a float indicating how vertical space is left over after filling the area.</p>

McKie</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/mupdf/">mupdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf/">pdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>). </p> <p>A new method <strong>select()</strong> in PyMuPDF 1.9.0 allows selecting pages of a PDF document to create a new one. Any Python list of integers (0 &lt;= n &lt; page count) can be taken.</p> <p>The resulting PDF contains all links, annotations and bookmarks (provided they still point to valid targets).</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Just another demonstration of PyMuPDF's features to deal with annotations:</p> <p>Take a page with several annotations and let them change places in reverse order: first and last annot exchange their rectangles, second and second to last, etc.</p> <p>The annotation images are enlarged or compressed as required to fit into their new areas.</p>
