Example programs:
4up.py -- Prints pages four-up
alter.py -- Simple example of making a very slight modification to a PDF.
booklet.py -- Converts a PDF into a booklet.
cat.py -- Concatenates multiple PDFs, adds metadata.
poster.py -- Changes the size of a PDF to create a poster
print_two.py -- this is used when printing two cut-down copies on a single sheet of paper (double-sided) Requires uncompressed PDF.
rotate.py -- This will rotate selected ranges of pages within a document.
subset.py -- This will retrieve a subset of pages from a document.
watermark.py -- Adds a watermark to a PDF
rl1/4up.py -- Same as 4up.py, using reportlab for output. Next simplest reportlab example.
rl1/booklet.py -- Version of print_booklet using reportlab for output.
rl1/platypus_pdf_template.py -- Example using a PDF page as a watermark background with reportlab.
rl1/subset.py -- Same as subset.py, using reportlab for output. Simplest reportlab example.
rl2/copy.py -- example of how you could parse a graphics stream and then use reportlab for output.
Works on a few different PDFs, probably not a suitable starting point for real
production work without a lot of work on the library functions.
