+ institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
84
+ cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
85
+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
86
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
87
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
88
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
89
+
90
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
91
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
92
+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
93
+ meet the following conditions:
94
+
95
+ (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
96
+ Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
97
+
98
+ (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
99
+ stating that You changed the files; and
100
+
101
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
102
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
103
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
104
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
105
+ the Derivative Works; and
106
+
107
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
108
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
109
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained

+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
111
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
112
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
113
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
114
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
115
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
116
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
117
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and

+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
121
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
122
+ as modifying the License.
123
+
124
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
125
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
126
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
127

+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
129
+ the conditions stated in this License.
130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
133
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
134
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
135
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
136
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
137
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
138
+
139
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
140
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
141
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
142
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
143
+
144
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
145
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
146
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
147
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
148
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
149
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
150
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
151
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
152
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
153
+
154
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
155
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
156
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
160
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
161
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
162
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
163
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
164
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
165
+
166
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
167
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
168
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
169
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
170
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
171
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
172
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
173
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
174
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
175
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+ # pdfpainter
35
+
36
+ **Paint PDF pages to images with Pillow alone: no native PDF engine, Apache-2.0 licensed, text in exactly the right place.**
37
+
38
+ ```python
39
+ import pdfpainter
40
+
41
+ img = pdfpainter.render_pdf("payslip.pdf", page=0, dpi=150) # a Pillow image
42
+ img.save("payslip-1.png")
43
+ ```
44
+
45
+ ![The same payslip painted by PDFium and by pdfpainter](docs/comparison.png)
46
+
47
+ ## Why pdfpainter
48
+
49
+ Most ways to turn a PDF page into an image load a native engine: MuPDF, PDFium, Poppler or Ghostscript. That fails where policies block unsigned DLLs (Windows Application Control on government and bank PCs, locked-down servers), and some of those engines are AGPL or GPL.
50
+
51
+ pdfpainter paints pages with **Pillow and NumPy only**, from what [pdfsieve](https://github.com/Vibhu1712/pdfsieve) reads with pure-Python pdfminer.six. It is built for two jobs:
52
+
53
+ 1. **OCR** of pages with no usable text layer: scans, and text drawn as outlines (for example PDFs from "Microsoft Print to PDF"). Letter outlines are filled with their holes, so OCR reads them.
54
+ 2. **Showing a page on screen** so users can see it, click on it, or drag boxes over it. Words land in exactly the positions the PDF gives them.
55
+
56
+ It is **not** a full PDF renderer; see [what is drawn](#what-is-drawn-and-what-isnt). For pixel-perfect output, use PDFium (pypdfium2) when it's available and fall back to pdfpainter when it isn't. The two produce images of the same size, so they're interchangeable.

71
+ ## Install
72
+
73
+ ```bash
74
+ pip install pdfpainter
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ Python 3.9 or newer. Installs pdfsieve, pdfminer.six, Pillow and NumPy, all with permissive licences and wheels for every common platform.
78
+
79
+ ## Quick start
80
+
81
+ ```python
82
+ import pdfpainter
83
+ import pdfsieve
84
+
85
+ # one call: open, paint, close
86
+ img = pdfpainter.render_pdf("statement.pdf", page=0, dpi=200)
87
+
88
+ # or paint pages you already opened with pdfsieve
89
+ with pdfsieve.open("statement.pdf") as doc:
90
+ for page in doc:
91
+ img = pdfpainter.render(page, zoom=2.0) # 2 pixels per point = 144 dpi
92
+ img.save(f"statement-{page.index + 1}.png")
93
+
94
+ # find out what couldn't be drawn
95
+ info = {}
96
+ img = pdfpainter.render_pdf("scan.pdf", dpi=300, info=info)
97
+ print(info) # {'undecoded': 0, 'skipped_fills': 0}
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ **Zoom and dpi.** `zoom` is pixels per PDF point; `dpi = zoom × 72`. A word box from pdfsieve maps onto the image by multiplying each coordinate by `zoom`.
101
+
102
+ ## Command line
103
+
104
+ ```bash
105
+ pdfpainter payslip.pdf # every page to payslip-1.png, payslip-2.png, ...
106
+ pdfpainter payslip.pdf -o page.png -p 1 # one page
107
+ pdfpainter payslip.pdf -o "out/p{page}.jpg" # {page} is the page number; extension picks the format
108
+ pdfpainter payslip.pdf --dpi 300 # default 150
109
+ pdfpainter payslip.pdf --no-text # shapes and images only
110
+ pdfpainter locked.pdf --password secret
111
+ ```
112
+
113
+ Each file written is listed with its size, plus a note if something on the page couldn't be shown:
114
+
115
+ ```
116
+ k-1.png (417 x 417) note: 1 image(s) in an unsupported format shown as grey boxes
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ ## API reference
120
+
121
+ ### `render(page, zoom=1.0, info=None, *, dpi=None, background=(255, 255, 255), text=True, antialias=True)`
122
+
123
+ Paint a `pdfsieve.Page` and return an RGB `PIL.Image.Image`.
124
+
125
+ | Argument | Meaning |
126
+ |---|---|
127
+ | `page` | A page from `pdfsieve.open(...).page(i)`. |
128
+ | `zoom` | Pixels per point. `1.0` is 72 dpi. |
129
+ | `dpi` | Alternative to `zoom`: dots per inch. |
130
+ | `info` | A dict to receive `undecoded` (images in an unsupported format, drawn as grey boxes) and `skipped_fills` (shapes filled with a pattern or shading, left out). |
131
+ | `background` | Page colour. |
132
+ | `text` | `False` leaves the text layer out, to see what a page looks like without it. |
133
+ | `antialias` | Paint vector content at twice the size, then shrink, for smooth edges. Turn off for speed. |
134
+
135
+ The image size is `ceil(width × zoom) × ceil(height × zoom)`, the same rounding PDFium uses
136
+ (see `page_size_px(page, zoom)`).
137
+
138
+ ### `render_pdf(source, page=0, zoom=1.0, *, dpi=None, password="", info=None, **kwargs)`
139
+
140
+ Open a PDF (path, bytes or binary file object), paint one page (0-based), and close it. Other
141
+ keyword arguments go to `render`.
142
+
143
+ ### `decode_image(stream) -> (image or None, is_stencil)`
144
+
145
+ Decode one embedded image (a pdfminer stream, e.g. `page.pictures[0].stream`) into a Pillow image,
146
+ for extracting a scan's image without rendering the whole page. Returns `(None, False)` for
147
+ unsupported formats.
148
+
149
+ ### Fonts
150
+
151
+ | | |
152
+ |---|---|
153
+ | `add_font_dir(path)` | Search a folder for fonts before the system folders. |
154
+ | `font_dirs()` | The folders searched, in order. |
155
+ | `find_font(family, bold, italic=False)` | Path of the font used for `"sans"`, `"serif"`, `"mono"`, `"indic"` or `"cjk"`. |
156
+ | `font_for(pdf_font_name, char, px)` | The Pillow font used to draw a character. |
157
+ | `FAMILIES`, `ITALICS` | The candidate font file names per family; edit to prefer other fonts. |
158
+
159
+ The `PDFPAINTER_FONT_DIRS` environment variable adds folders too (separated by `;` on Windows and
160
+ `:` elsewhere).
161
+
162
+ ### Other
163
+
164
+ | | |
165
+ |---|---|
166
+ | `page_size_px(page, zoom)` | Size in pixels `render` will produce. |
167
+ | `to_ppm(img)` | PPM bytes that Tkinter's `PhotoImage(data=...)` shows with no extra libraries. |
168
+ | `MAX_PIXELS` | Above this canvas size, `antialias` is skipped to save memory. |
169
+
170
+ ## Recipes
171
+
172
+ Runnable versions live in [`examples/`](examples). Make the sample PDF with
173
+ `python examples/make_sample_pdf.py` (needs `pip install reportlab`).
174
+
175
+ ### OCR a page that has no text layer
176
+
177
+ ```python
178
+ import numpy as np
179
+ import pdfpainter, pdfsieve
180
+ from rapidocr import RapidOCR # pip install rapidocr onnxruntime
181
+
182
+ zoom = 300 / 72
183
+ with pdfsieve.open("printed-to-pdf.pdf") as doc:
184
+ img = pdfpainter.render(doc.page(0), zoom)
185
+
186
+ result = RapidOCR()(np.asarray(img))
187
+ for quad, text in zip(result.boxes, result.txts):
188
+ xs, ys = [p[0] for p in quad], [p[1] for p in quad]
189
+ print(min(xs) / zoom, min(ys) / zoom, text) # back in PDF points, like pdfsieve's words
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ [`examples/ocr_page.py`](examples/ocr_page.py) does the same with RapidOCR or, if that isn't
193
+ installed, Tesseract.
194
+
195
+ ### Draw word boxes over the page
196
+
197
+ ```python
198
+ from PIL import ImageDraw
199
+
200
+ zoom = 2.0
201
+ with pdfsieve.open("sample.pdf") as doc:
202
+ page = doc.page(0)
203
+ img = pdfpainter.render(page, zoom)
204
+ draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
205
+ for w in page.words():
206
+ draw.rectangle([v * zoom for v in w[:4]], outline="red", width=2)
207
+ img.save("boxes.png")
208
+ ```
209
+
210
+ ### PDFium when allowed, pdfpainter when not
211
+
212
+ ```python
213
+ def page_image(path, index, zoom):
214
+ try:
215
+ import pypdfium2 as pdfium
216
+ pdf = pdfium.PdfDocument(path)
217
+ try:
218
+ return pdf[index].render(scale=zoom).to_pil().convert("RGB")
219
+ finally:
220
+ pdf.close()
221
+ except Exception: # not installed, or its DLL is blocked
222
+ return pdfpainter.render_pdf(path, index, zoom)

225
+ ### Show a page in Tkinter with no extra libraries
226
+
227
+ ```python
228
+ import tkinter as tk
229
+
230
+ root = tk.Tk()
231
+ photo = tk.PhotoImage(data=pdfpainter.to_ppm(pdfpainter.render_pdf("sample.pdf", dpi=96)))
232
+ tk.Label(root, image=photo).pack()
233
+ root.mainloop()
234
+ ```
235
+
236
+ ### Pull the scanned image out of a page
237
+
238
+ ```python
239
+ with pdfsieve.open("scan.pdf") as doc:
240
+ pic = doc.page(0).pictures[0]
241
+ img, is_stencil = pdfpainter.decode_image(pic.stream)
242
+ if img is not None:
243
+ img.save("scan.png") # at the scan's own resolution
244
+ ```
245
+
246
+ ## What is drawn, and what isn't
247
+
248
+ **Drawn**
249
+
250
+ - Filled and stroked paths, with curves, line widths and colours (gray, RGB, CMYK, spot tints).
251
+ - Holes in shapes under both fill rules, so letters drawn as outlines (`o`, `e`, `8`) keep their
252
+ counters and OCR reads them.
253
+ - Embedded images, upright or rotated: JPEG, JPEG 2000 (if your Pillow reads it), and raw, Flate,
254
+ LZW or RunLength data in gray, RGB, CMYK, ICC, calibrated and indexed colour spaces at
255
+ 1–16 bits; 1-bit stencil masks in the current fill colour.
256
+ - Real text in a similar system font (sans, serif or mono, bold and italic, Indic and CJK
257
+ scripts), on its exact baseline, including sideways and upside-down text. Invisible text, such
258
+ as a scan's OCR layer, is not drawn.
259
+
260
+ **Not drawn**
261
+
262
+ - Clipping paths: content outside a clip still shows.
263
+ - Transparency and blend modes: everything is opaque.
264
+ - Pattern and shading fills (gradients): left out and counted in `info["skipped_fills"]`.
265
+ - Dashed lines are drawn solid; line caps and joins are approximated.
266
+ - The PDF's own embedded fonts: text is set in a system font, so letter shapes and widths differ
267
+ slightly, though each character starts where the PDF puts it.
268
+ - JBIG2 images (common in scanned archives) and unusual colour spaces (DeviceN, Lab images): drawn
269
+ as grey boxes and counted in `info["undecoded"]`.
270
+ - Annotations and form-field appearances.
271
+
272
+ ## Fonts
273
+
274
+ Text is set in fonts already on the computer:
275
+
276
+ | Family | Windows | macOS | Linux |
277
+ |---|---|---|---|
278
+ | sans | Arial, Segoe UI | Arial | Liberation Sans, DejaVu Sans, FreeSans |
279
+ | serif | Times New Roman | Times New Roman | Liberation Serif, DejaVu Serif, FreeSerif |
280
+ | mono | Courier New | Courier New | Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, FreeMono |
281
+ | indic | Nirmala UI, Mangal | Kohinoor | Noto Sans Devanagari |
282
+ | cjk | Yu Gothic, MS Gothic, Microsoft YaHei, Malgun Gothic | PingFang | Noto Sans CJK |
283
+
284
+ The family is chosen from the PDF's font name (`Times`, `Courier`, `Bold`, `Italic`, ...) and the
285
+ character's script. With no matching font installed, Pillow's built-in font is used. On a minimal
286
+ Linux server, `apt install fonts-liberation` gives good results.
287
+
288
+ ## Speed
289
+
290
+ In testing, painting at 150 dpi took about **100–200 ms per page**, on top of pdfsieve's reading
291
+ time; text-heavy pages take longest. Turning off `antialias` cut that to **20–130 ms**, at the
292
+ cost of rougher edges. For OCR, antialiasing usually helps accuracy, so keep it on there.
293
+
294
+ ## Development
295
+
296
+ ```bash
297
+ git clone https://github.com/Vibhu1712/pdfpainter
298
+ cd pdfpainter
299
+ pip install -e ".[test]"
300
+ pytest
301
+ ```
302
+
303
+ The tests build their sample PDFs at run time (with reportlab, plus a few hand-written PDFs for
304
+ image formats), and compare page sizes against PDFium when pypdfium2 is installed.
