+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
69
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
70
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

|
71
|
+
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the

3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
75
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
76
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

|
78

use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
|
79
|
+
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|

by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
81
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
82
|
+
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
83
|
+
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
|
|
110
|
+
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
|
|
118
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
119

notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
120
|
+
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
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
128
|
+
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
|
+

|
|
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.

## 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
|

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
|

|
+
### `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

|
+
| | |
|
|
152
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
153
|
+
| `add_font_dir(path)` | Search a folder for fonts before the system folders. |
|
|
154
|
+
| `font_dirs()` | The folders searched, in order. |
|
|
155
|

| `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).

## 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)
|
|
223
|
+
```
|
|
224
|
+
|
|
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.
