The only real interactive PDF editor I know of for Linux is PDFStudio: https://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/ I've been using it for many years, and can recommed it highly. It's got nothing to do with Python though. If you want command-line stuff, there's pdf toolkit: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-text/pdftk If, OTOH, you want to programmatically generate PDF from Python, that's something entirely different. I'd look at Reportlab https://www.reportlab.com/opensource/ pyfpdf https://pyfpdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#fpdf-for-python pypdf https://pythonhosted.org/PyPDF2/ -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
