  • QUOTE: pypdf is the original. PyPDF2 is a very good fork that was recently merged back into pypdf. PyPDF3 and PyPDF4 are both bad forks. TLDR; use pypdf.

  • PyPDF is a pure-Python library that allows you to manipulate PDF files. It can be used to split, merge, crop, and transform PDF pages, as well as extract text, metadata, and images from PDFs. You can also add custom data, viewing options, and passwords to PDF files with PyPDF.

     PyPDF is a popular choice for Python developers who need to work with PDFs because it is easy to use, well-documented, and has a wide range of features. It is also free and open-source software.
