tools to manipulate PDF document?

wcc
Hello group,

I wonder what tools/modules are avaible to manipulate PDF ducument,
i.e., merge, split, rotate page, crop, etc.. I checked the PyPI page
and seems the only one may fit the need is pyPdf. But it is in its
early stage and currently only supports two functions: merge & split.
I suppose working with PDF document is a common task. Just wanted to
know if there are other alternatives. Thank you very much!

Try reportlab PDF library (www.reportlab.org). Many things for graphs
but also basic handling. Works fast & reliably for my requirements.

Thanks Justin. Yes, I had tried pdftk before (could be the current
version though, since it has not been upgraded for a while). But
somehow it was quite slow when I tried merging, or spliting PDF
documents when compared with Adobe Acrobat, especially if the number of
PDF to be processed is large. I wonder if anyone had similar
experience.

Dear comp.lang.javascript, I have more than once wanted to manipulate the contents of select boxes dynamically, whilst the boxes contain <optgroup> tags.

However, I have searched long and found the material on the subject of <optgroup> to be sparse, with a few posts here & there, but basically you're...

Hi everyone, I'm going to manipulate some XML files in my next project-- crawl through the tags, compare if file X has the same nodes as file Y, and if not, what the differences are and who's missing what. I'll also be comparing values between nodes in the two files, for when both documents do have the same named nodes. What .Net classes should I be looking at to accomplish these tasks? Thanks a bunch.

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

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
