How can I place an image over an existing PDF file at an specific coordinate location. The pdf represents a drawing sheet with one page. The image will be scaled. I'm checking ReportLab but can't find the answer. Thanks.

from pyPdf import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader output = PdfFileWriter() input1 = PdfFileReader(file("document1.pdf", "rb")) watermark = PdfFileReader(file("watermark.pdf", "rb")) page4.mergePage(watermark.getPage(0)) # finally, write "output" to document-output.pdf outputStream = file("document-output.pdf", "wb") output.write(outputStream) outputStream.close() I think it's like watermark, see the manual for better idea

Its been 5 years, I think these answers need some TLC. Here is a complete solution.
The following is tested with Python 2.7
Install dependencies
pip install reportlab pip install pypdf2 Do the magic
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas from PyPDF2 import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader # Create the watermark from an image c = canvas.Canvas('watermark.pdf') # Draw the image at x, y. I positioned the x,y to be where i like here c.drawImage('test.png', 15, 720) # Add some custom text for good measure c.drawString(15, 720,"Hello World") c.save() # Get the watermark file you just created watermark = PdfFileReader(open("watermark.pdf", "rb")) # Get our files ready output_file = PdfFileWriter() input_file = PdfFileReader(open("test2.pdf", "rb")) # Number of pages in input document page_count = input_file.getNumPages() # Go through all the input file pages to add a watermark to them for page_number in range(page_count): print "Watermarking page {} of {}".format(page_number, page_count) # merge the watermark with the page input_page = input_file.getPage(page_number) input_page.mergePage(watermark.getPage(0)) # add page from input file to output document output_file.addPage(input_page) # finally, write "output" to document-output.pdf with open("document-output.pdf", "wb") as outputStream: output_file.write(outputStream) References:

I combined ReportLab (http://www.reportlab.com/software/opensource/rl-toolkit/download/) and pyPDF (http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/) to insert an image directly without having to generate the PDF up front:
from pyPdf import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas from StringIO import StringIO # Using ReportLab to insert image into PDF imgTemp = StringIO() imgDoc = canvas.Canvas(imgTemp) # Draw image on Canvas and save PDF in buffer imgPath = "path/to/img.png" imgDoc.drawImage(imgPath, 399, 760, 160, 160) ## at (399,760) with size 160x160 imgDoc.save() # Use PyPDF to merge the image-PDF into the template page = PdfFileReader(file("document.pdf","rb")).getPage(0) overlay = PdfFileReader(StringIO(imgTemp.getvalue())).getPage(0) page.mergePage(overlay) #Save the result output = PdfFileWriter() output.addPage(page) output.write(file("output.pdf","w")) Answers 4
Thx to the previous answers. My way with python3.4
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from io import BytesIO from PyPDF2 import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4 def gen_pdf(): # there are 66 slides (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg...) path = 'slades/{0}.jpg' pdf = PdfFileWriter() for num in range(1, 67): # for each slide # Using ReportLab Canvas to insert image into PDF imgTemp = BytesIO() imgDoc = canvas.Canvas(imgTemp, pagesize=A4) # Draw image on Canvas and save PDF in buffer imgDoc.drawImage(path.format(num), -25, -45) # x, y - start position # in my case -25, -45 needed imgDoc.save() # Use PyPDF to merge the image-PDF into the template pdf.addPage(PdfFileReader(BytesIO(imgTemp.getvalue())).getPage(0)) pdf.write(open("output.pdf","wb")) if __name__ == '__main__': gen_pdf() Answers 5
This is what worked for me
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader def watermarks(temp, watermar,new_file): template = PdfFileReader(open(temp, 'rb')) wpdf = PdfFileReader(open(watermar, 'rb')) watermark = wpdf.getPage(0) for i in xrange(template.getNumPages()): page = template.getPage(i) page.mergePage(watermark) output.addPage(page) with open(new_file, 'wb') as f: output.write(f) Answers 6
This is quite easy to do with PyMuPDF without merging two PDFs:
import fitz src_pdf_filename = 'source.pdf' dst_pdf_filename = 'destination.pdf' img_filename = 'barcode.jpg' # http://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rect/ # Set position and size according to your needs img_rect = fitz.Rect(100, 100, 120, 120) document = fitz.open(src_pdf_filename) # We'll put image on first page only but you could put it elsewhere page = document[0] page.insertImage(img_rect, filename=img_filename) # See http://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/document/#Document.save and # http://pymupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/document/#Document.saveIncr for # additional parameters, especially if you want to overwrite existing PDF # instead of writing new PDF document.save(dst_pdf_filename) document.close() Answers 7
Since, its existing pdf, the most easy way to do it is:
- Convert pdf to .doc or .odt ( Check http://www.zamzar.com/ )
- Add images into the converted file however you want.
- Convert back to PDF (openoffice and libreoffice makes it easy to save pdfs)
PS: If the pdf file needs to further edited always keep a backup of source .doc file, so that the changes can be done easily, too much conversion have bad effects on file quality.
