About:
PyMuPDF provides Python bindings for MuPDF, a lightweight and high-performance PDF and document rendering library. It enables developers to read, write, and manipulate PDF, XPS, and EPUB documents with exceptional speed and low memory usage. Its primary value is offering a comprehensive toolkit for document processing tasks directly within Python applications.
|
Key Features:
- High-performance rendering and processing
- Support for PDF, XPS, and EPUB formats
- Extensive manipulation capabilities (text/image extraction, annotation)
|
Use Cases:
- Automated document generation and report creation
- Data extraction and analysis from PDF files
- Server-side PDF manipulation and conversion workflows
|
Alternatives:
-
PyPDF2
– More focused on pure Python manipulation, often slower for rendering.
-
pdfminer.six
– Excellent for text extraction but lacks MuPDF's rendering speed and format support.
