I have a pdf where 2 pages have total of 6 attachment boxes where you can click on them and after clicking you can choose the image file and it will be inserted in the pdf, so I want to do this using python I have tried pymupdf and after checking it is showing me it is one of the widgets as button but I don't know exactly how can I use pymupdf to upload the images automatically, I have tried several techniques but it didn't help so I had to remove the attachment boxes. Can anyone please help me out here? I have used this also as I saw in the documentation adding an annot_file or embedded file can do the trick but I am not sure and confused, has anyone ever did it?
After clicking on one of the image icon
I have tried several techniques there were a few methods of attaching files using annotations and update_file for the document object. If this helps to understand the problem more clearly. Thanks

I want to post a carousel of n images using python. I have found various sources on how to upload a single picture with a caption by using libraries like InstaBot, but I could not find any source on how to do this with a carousel, if it is at all possible.
I have all the files stored locally and know how to get the filenames and everything within my script. I want to be able to set the order of the images as well. There tend to be 5 images, so the maximum of 10 will never be surpassed.
Anybody know if this is possible and if yes, how do I achieve it?
as far as my knoledge no library has this option,But it is possible if u use API on your own
update: check instagrapi library

I have a word document from a colleague who gave me a .docx Microsoft Word file with 90 images on it that need to be extracted so they can be turned into flashcards. I tried using the Python module "docx2txt" which worked ok, but only extracted 34 images. Upon further inspection, I found that it was because when my coworker made the original file, he took screenshots of PowerPoint slides that he had made with about 4-6 of the images on one slide. Then, he would put them in Word and use the built in Word trimming tool to copy the picture several times and trim down to each individual picture he needed in a particular line of the document. Docx2txt copied the pictures files to my designated directly perfectly, but did not keep the formatting. Any picture file he had inserted and "trimmed down" to size, was copied as the full image. Does anyone know of a way to keep the formatting so I don't have to go through and manually copy 90 pictures one by one? Perhaps converting to a .pdf file and using a pdf related module or something? Or might be there some way of using another Python library which will keep the picture formatting? Thanks for any help you can provide! I'm somewhat of a beginner with Python, but love it when I can get it to automate stuff... even if it ends up taking longer to figure out how to do it than just boring myself to death saving the photos manually, lol.

Important: Cropped parts of the picture are not removed from the file, and can potentially be seen by others; including search engines if the cropped image is posted online. Only the Office desktop apps have the ability to remove cropped areas from the underlying image file.
Follow the relevant section for Desktop Office (Windows or Mac) note from above it CANNOT work on Web 365.
go to "Other kinds of cropping"
Important: If you delete cropped areas and later change your mind, you can click the Undo Button Image button to restore them. Deletions can [ONLY] be undone until the file is saved.
So make a backup copy of the file
Select the picture or pictures (If you want all selected that should be easy with CTRL + A to highlight everything)
Then follow the instructions
Picture Tools > Format, and in the Adjust group, click Compress Pictures
Be sure that the Delete cropped areas of pictures check box is selected
DEselect the Apply only to this picture check box.
Double check a few manually to verify all is well then save a copy.
I am trying to extract a text in pdf which is underlined using python but not able to find a correct solution can anyone help on this, please
In a PDF there are no struck through or struck under fonts thus the best you could hope for is a flag at the start and end like in Rich Text. Commonly a line in paperspace is placed over/under the image / text characters. Often done later (like highlighting) as "Annotation" so you are looking for rectangles with narrow height.
PDFMiner 6 acknowledge they can at best close this issue. see https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six/issues/237
You could look for StrikeThrough or StrikeUnder Annotation objects and a script showing how that may be done is available at https://github.com/0xabu/pdfannots
I have a parent file type that is folderish, and I would like to include a thumbnail of the first page of a child pdf in the template. Can someone roughly outline the tools and process you can imagine would achieve this, so that I can investigate further?
Getting out the first page of pdf can be achieved by using ghostscript.
This is an example script which forms an gostscript command and stores the images. I took this from collective.pdfpeek. Which by the way could solve your problem right away :-)
Until few days ago I would have recommended you not to use it, since it was a little bit buggy, but they recently shipped a new version, so give it a try! I'm not sure whether they now support DX or not.
So the workflow for you should be.
Uploading a PDF
Subscribe modified/creation events.
create image of first page using ghostscript (check my command, or collective.pdfpeek)
store it as blob (NamedBlobImage) on your uploaded pdf.
Also implement some queueing like collective.pdfpeek to not block all your threads with ghostscript commands.
OR
Give collective.pdfpeek a shot!
BTW:
imho on a large scale the preview generation for pdfs needs to be implemented as a service, which stores/manages the images for you.
What I am trying to accomplish is to allow users to view information in the django admin console and allow them to save and print out a PDF of the information infront of them based upon how ever they sorted/filtered the data.
I have seen a lot of documentation on report lab but mostly for just drawing lines and what not. How can I simply output the admin results to a PDF? If that is even possible. I am open to other suggestions if report lab is not the ideal way to get this done.
Thanks in advance.
Better use some kind of html2pdf because you already have html there.
If html2pdf doesn't do what you need, you can do everything you want to do with ReportLab. Have a look at the ReportLab manual, in particular the parts on Platypus. This is a part of the ReportLab library that allows you to build PDFs out of objects representing page parts (paragraphs, tables, frames, layouts, etc.).
