Trying to some add contents to PDF file using pdfrw and ReportLab. If I use PDF file with text having hyperlink, the link just disapperes from the document.
# split_with_rl.py
from pdfrw import PdfReader
from pdfrw.buildxobj import pagexobj
from pdfrw.toreportlab import makerl
from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas
def split(path, number_of_pages, output):
pdf_obj = PdfReader(path)
my_canvas = Canvas(output)
# create page objects
pages = pdf_obj.pages[0: number_of_pages]
pages = [pagexobj(page) for page in pages]
for page in pages:
my_canvas.setPageSize((page.BBox[2], page.BBox[3]))
my_canvas.doForm(makerl(my_canvas, page))
my_canvas.showPage()
# write the new PDF to disk
my_canvas.save()
if __name__ == '__main__':
split('file_with_link.pdf', 10, 'output.pdf')
