I'm sharing news about the Python / PDF ecosystem 🐍 #python #pdf - it's not (only) about pypdf

[py-pdf @py_pdf]

#pypdf==4.0.0 was just released 🎉 We now support layout-mode text extraction ✍️ and you get a PDF preview when using pypdf within Jupyter notebooks 🤩

Kudos to the new contributor shartzog who implemented the layout-mode with his first contribution 🤯👏

Did you know that you can use the CLI program `pdfly` to split a PDF? https://t.co/RLGUqZwKhm

`pdfly cat in.pdf 2:4 -o out.pdf` is just the simplest of many ways to use it

fpdf2 is now part of the py-pdf organisation, just like pypdf https://t.co/mJQ4GCOMIH 🎉 We hope both projects benefit from this move on the long run by a better exchange+support of the projects. fpdf2 is awesome at PDF generation, pypdf excels at text extraction+manipulation

How would you detect / remove all footers for a list of strings which represent extracted texts of a PDF document? https://t.co/31LihJFtQr - contributions are welcome ❤️

pypdf==3.14.0 was released 😎 Users can now use cryptography instead of Pycryptodome, the text extraction of math content (LaTeX) was improved. Finally, the AnnotationBuilder was deprecated in favor of Annotation classes https://t.co/wgvcRbBq1U

Which Python version(s) are you using?

pypdf==3.13.0 was just released 😻 As the maintainer, I'm most excited about our new release automation: I just need to push a `git tag` and Github Actions push a package to PyPI + a release page is created on Github: https://t.co/dJb5SrF2qr 🧑‍🎤 - A big thank you to @mpeveler 🙏

pypdf==3.12.0 is on PyPI 💃🕺 We no support modern encryption/decryption of PDF documents 🎉 https://t.co/nmeNiI4d0U

[py-pdf @py_pdf]

⚠️pypdf<=3.8.1 and PyPDF2>=2.2.0 had an infinite-loop vulnerability 🐞
That could be used to block the current process and use 100% of the current core of the CPU. It does not affect memory.

Upgrade to pypdf>=3.9.0. The latest and greatest is pypdf==3.11.1 😁

[py-pdf @py_pdf]

pypdf 3.10 is on PyPI 🎉🥳 You can now replace images, e.g to reduce the file size of a given PDF quite significantly. You can also extract inline-images. And pypdf became better in handling forms.

A big thank you to pubpub-zz and the new contributors! https://t.co/JtfkPF47rC
