filename = os.path.splitext(...) and
output_filename = f"...
can be taken out of the loop.

I really really need to know how to flatten a pdf. Ghostscript doesn't work, Magick merges all my pages onto the first. I can't use pdftk on a Silicon Mac, roads all lead to nowhere!

[wasima]

you did not cover the real scenarios, when extracted text from research paper pdfs contain weird fonts, non homogeneous spacing, newlines and sometime letters overlap on each other. Can pypdf2 deal with that?

[aphadke]

How to extract embedded files information from a pdf file?

[mrinkahok]

Hello,
I almost succeeded in this. I have one more problem. I want to add more pages to the pdf file. But it overwrites the previous page. I want to add it but I can't.

HI, you Video was very Helpful !!

Please Please create Video to code to put an image and / or a user defined text as a watermark into a pdf
if not video then please share the code ??

the other videos use the old libraries and not the new ones...

I have a file with 15 pages and I want to write page 2 through page 15 to another file because I no longer need page 1. So I want to throw away page 1.
