The following example puts the same image on every page of a given PDF - like a thumbnail.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <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>

Revision 3. </p> <p>Version 1.11.0 (based on MuPDF v1.11) allows exporting, importing and interrogating files embedded in a PDF.</p> <p>PDF "/EmbeddedFiles" are similar to ZIP archives (or the Microsoft OLE technique), allowing arbitrary data to be incorporated in a PDF and benefit from its unique features.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>PyMuPDF v1.9.3 now supports several new features for manipulating PDFs.</p> <p>Here is an example to rotate a page with just a few lines of Python code.</p>

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>

By manipulating ordinary, elementary lists and dictionaries you can add, delete, modify a PDF's metadata and table of contents.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>A simple program to display a PDF (or XPS, EPUB, CBZ) document with forward / backward buttons and a field for directly jumping to a specific page. It uses the Python binding PyMuPDF for fitz, the high-performance / high-quality graphics library of MuPDF. It obviously can also be used to display XPS documents on non-Windows platforms.</p> <p>This new version also supports any links contained in a page.</p>
