What are the best python libraries for modifying existing PDF files?

(Pardon mobile typos) ReportLab and PyPDF shold do. 1)read your PDF using PdfFileReader , we'll call this input 2)create a new pdf containing your text to add using ReportLab, save this as a string object 3)read the string object using PdfFileReader , we'll call this text (I'm leaving out the bit on manipulating your object to make you RTFD. You'll thank me later.) 4)create a new PDF object using PdfFileWriter , we'll call this output 5)iterate through input and apply .mergePage(text.getPage(0)) for each page you want the text added to, then use output.addPage to add the modified pages to a new document Something like. packet = StringIO.StringIO can = canvas.Canvas(packet, pagesize=letter) can.save packet.seek(0) input = PdfFileReader(packet)
