pythonpopplerqt4 0.24.0
A Python binding for libpoppler-qt4 that aims for completeness and for being
actively maintained.
Created and currently maintained by Wilbert Berendsen <[email protected]>.
Homepage: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-poppler-qt4/
Usage:
import popplerqt4
d = popplerqt4.Poppler.Document.load('file.pdf')
Documentation
The Python API closely follows the Poppler Qt4 C++ interface library API,
documented at http://people.freedesktop.org/~aacid/docs/qt4/ .
Whereever the C++ API requires QList, QSet or QLinkedList, any
Python sequence can be used.
API calls that return QList, QSet or QLinkedList all return Python
lists.
There are a few differences:
Poppler::Document::getPdfVersion(int *major, int *minor) can simply be
called as d.getPdfVersion(), (where d is a Poppler::Document
instance); it will return a tuple of two integers (major, minor).
Poppler::FontIterator (returned by Poppler::Document::newFontIterator)
is also a Python iterable (e.g. has __iter__() and __next__() methods).
So although you can use:
it = document.newFontIterator()
while it.hasNext():
fonts = it.next() # list of FontInfo objects
...
you can also use the more Pythonic:
for fonts in document.newFontIterator():
...
In addition to the Poppler namespace, there are two toplevel module
functions:
popplerqt4.version()
returns the version of the python-poppler-qt4 package as a
tuple of ints, e.g. (0, 18, 2).
popplerqt4.poppler_version()
returns the version of the linked Poppler-Qt4 library as a
tuple of ints, e.g. (0, 24, 5).
This is determined at build time. If at build time the Poppler-Qt4
version could not be determined and was not specified, an empty
tuple might be returned.
