Python fitz

Python fitz is a library for document processing and manipulation. It is a wrapper around the PDF library, MuPDF. It allows users to read, write, and modify PDF files using Python.

Fitz can be used for a variety of tasks, such as extracting text, images, and metadata from PDF files, merging or splitting PDF files, adding annotations or watermarks, and much more.

To use fitz, you will need to install it using pip:

pip install PyMuPDF

Once installed, you can import the fitz library in your Python code:

import fitz

From there, you can use the various functions provided by the library to manipulate PDF files. For example, to open a PDF file and extract its text, you can use the following code:

doc = fitz.open('myfile.pdf')
page = doc.loadPage(0)
text = page.getText()
print(text)

This will open the file 'myfile.pdf', load the first page, and extract its text content. The resulting text will be printed to the console.

Overall, Python fitz is a powerful tool for working with PDF files in Python, and is well worth exploring for anyone working with PDF documents.
