Draw elements
PyPDFForm enables drawing elements on a PDF, which is useful when a widget is missing from your PDF form or when you need to add text or images.
This section of the documentation will use this PDF as an example.
Understanding the PDF coordinate system is necessary for this section.
All optional parameters will have a comment # optional
after each of them.
NOTE: Avoid drawing elements that overlap with form widgets, as widgets take precedence and will cover drawn elements.
Draw text
from PyPDFForm import PdfWrapper
pdf = PdfWrapper("sample_template.pdf").draw_text(
text="random text",
page_number=1,
x=300,
y=225,
font="your_registered_font", # optional
font_size=12, # optional
font_color=(1, 0, 0) # optional
)
with open("output.pdf", "wb+") as output:
output.write(pdf.read())
Draw image
from PyPDFForm import PdfWrapper
pdf = PdfWrapper("sample_template.pdf").draw_image(
image="sample_image.jpg",
page_number=1,
x=100,
y=100,
width=400,
height=225,
rotation=0 # optional
)
with open("output.pdf", "wb+") as output:
output.write(pdf.read())
