# pypdf

pypdf is a free and open-source pure-python PDF library capable of splitting,
[merging](https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/merging-pdfs.html),
[cropping, and transforming](https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/cropping-and-transforming.html)
the pages of PDF files. It can also add
custom data, viewing options, and
[passwords](https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/encryption-decryption.html)
to PDF files. pypdf can
[retrieve text](https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/extract-text.html)
and
[metadata](https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/metadata.html)
from PDFs as well.


## Installation

You can install pypdf via pip:

```
pip install pypdf
```

If you plan to use pypdf for encrypting or decrypting PDFs that use AES, you
will need to install some extra dependencies. Encryption using RC4 is supported
using the regular installation.

```
pip install pypdf[crypto]
```

> **NOTE**: `pypdf>=3.1.0` improved a lot compared to `pyPdf<2.0.0` and compared to
> `PyPDF2 < 2.0.0`. Please
> read [the migration guide](https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/migration-1-to-2.html).

## Usage

```python
from pypdf import PdfReader

reader = PdfReader("example.pdf")
number_of_pages = len(reader.pages)
page = reader.pages[0]
text = page.extract_text()
```

pypdf can do a lot more, e.g. splitting, merging, reading and creating
annotations, decrypting and encrypting, and more.

Please see [the documentation](https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)
for more usage examples!

A lot of questions are asked and answered
[on StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/pypdf)
(formerly tagged with [PyPDF2](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/pypdf2)).

## Contributions

Maintaining pypdf is a collaborative effort. You can support pypdf by writing
documentation, helping to narrow down issues, and adding code.

### Q&A

The experience pypdf users have covers the whole range from beginners who
want to make their live easier to experts who developed software before PDF
existed. You can contribute to the pypdf community by answering questions
on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/pypdf),
helping in [discussions](https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/discussions),
and asking users who report issues for [MCVE](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example)'s (Code + example PDF!).


### Issues

A good bug ticket includes a MCVE - a minimal complete verifiable example.
For pypdf, this means that you must upload a PDF that causes the bug to occur
as well as the code you're executing with all of the output. Use
`print(pypdf.__version__)` to tell us which version you're using.

### Code

All code contributions are welcome, but smaller ones have a better chance to
get included in a timely manner. Adding unit tests for new features or test
cases for bugs you've fixed help us to ensure that the Pull Request (PR) is fine.

pypdf includes a test suite which can be executed with `pytest`:

```bash
$ pytest
