Hi,
Is there any Python packages to analyse or get some information out of
an PDF document...
Like where the text are placed - what text are placed - fonts, embedded
PDFs/fonts/images etc.
Please let me know :)

Johan

I believe the not-for-free version of ReportLab has this sort of capability,
at least in some sense.

Aah, you think about the product "PageCatche r", right? :)
I haven't seen it yet :) I will contact ReportLab for further details,
thanks :)
Please let me know, if other know any alternatives ;) (in case that I
cannot use ReportLab's version)

Just found the pricing :( I think USD 25,000 are way out of my budget :(

My first attempt to decode PDF-s with SWIG-ged xpdf, requires sources of
python and wxPython - binaries for python22 (windows) are included.
Hmmm http://www.trisoft.com.pl/~mak/wxpdf.zip

It depends on the type of images (bitmap vs. vector).
Yes I know - but the vector based images should be extracted just as it
is - bitmap as selfcontained files :=)
IIRC you can get the full specs of pdf and eps at the adobe site.
The full PDF specification is not exactly short, but it's fairly readable.
Yep... I tried it... but there are no reason to do exactly the same - if
other people already have done that. And time is an issue too ;)
Some stuff is easy to get at, some may be compressed and/or encrypted,
and not so easy.
Although the FlateDecode compression format is straightforward with existing
libraries, some of the other compression techniques may be less accessible.
Well, no problem with the compression/encrypting. It is for an internal
application - so people just HAVE to not encrypt or secure the document.
Conforming docs are supposed to be structured so that it is relatively easy
to grab chunks of document and do the kinds of things printing business s/w does,
like rotating and scaling and reordering pages, etc.
I have a Python library which is able to identify a lot of the structure in simple
documents, including basic text extraction, but I've become pretty disillusioned
with it because so much work is required to extract more complex information.
Maybe it's time to stick a license on it and upload it somewhere.
Well, let me know ;) Maybe I could get an demo or something? That would
be nice :)

Time is always an issue. How much of it do you have? ;-) I have a Python library which is able to identify a lot of the structure in simple
documents, including basic text extraction, but I've become pretty disillusioned
with it because so much work is required to extract more complex information.

You may be disappointed, but here it is: http://www.boddie.org.uk/david/Proje...thon/pdftools/
The core of the library was written in a hurry over two years ago; later refinements
make it only slightly more robust. It was never really intended for anything other
than exploring the structure of PDF files.
Basic use:
import pdftools
file = "MyFile.pdf "
doc = pdftools.PDFdoc ument(file)
print "Document uses PDF format version", doc.document_ve rsion()
pages = doc.count_pages ()
print "Document contains %i pages." % pages
if pages > 123:
page123 = doc.read_page(1 23)
contents123 = page123.read_co ntents()
print "The objects found in this page:"
print
print contents123.con tents
I've not really dealt with the coordinate system very well. Ideally, it would be
trivial to extract all the device-independent positioning information but,
whenever I start to look at this, I get distracted. :-)
Have fun, and don't expect too much,

I need to write a script which reads some data and reports the findings.
Just to give you an idea the structure is similar to the following.

Hallo,
ich bin auf der Suche nach einem Tool, mit dem ich unter Visual Studio 7
oder 8 eine Performance Analyse auf meinem Code durchführen kann, um zu
ermitteln, wo wieviel Zeit verloren geht.
Ich hab bisher nur die sündhaft teuren Produkte von DevPartner gefunden.
Gibt es billigere oder gar kostenlose/OpenSource Tools, mit denen ich
die Aufgabe lösen könnte?
Habt vielen Dank

On the local radio station here in the Czech they announced simple

If listeners will hear Elton John's Sacrifice followed immediately by
Madonna's Frozen they have to call to the broadcasting. First caller

I am just thinking about the concept how to analyse music stream form
the PC radio card to get the signal: "first tones of Frozen were
played after Sacrifice, call to the studio" :-)

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
