I initially wrote the library using PDFMiner, but found that it had a higher failure rate in reading documents, especially large ones when compared to pyPdf. So, I rewrote the library using pyPdf and the experience was better. Also I noted pyPdf works better on encrypted documents when compared to PDFMiner. pyPdf is not perfect and has a few issues which I faced when reading certain encrypted documents. However, if your PDF files are mostly non-encrypted, I would suggest pyPdf a better choice than PDFMiner. > <http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/> > > There is also reportlab toolkit > > http://www.reportlab.org/rl_toolkit.html > > > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > -- -Anand
