This short guide describes the process to change image in PDF using Python. It has details to set the IDE for the development, a list of programming steps, and a sample code demonstrating how to replace image in PDF using Python. You will learn to access different types of content in the PDF file and replace the target image with a new image.
Steps to Replace Image in PDF using Python
- Set the environment to use Aspose.PDF for Python via .NET to replace images
- Import the aspose.pdf library, define the input and output file names, and load the license
- Load the source PDF file into the Document class object for editing images in it
- Iterate through each page in the loaded PDF file and access the image collection in each page
- Parse through all the images to find each image placement
- Load the source image file into the memory
- Replace each image with the new image contents
- Save the resultant PDF file with updated images in it
The above steps describe how to change image in PDF using Python. Commence the process by loading the source PDF file, fetching the pages collection, iterating through each page to access the images collection, and parsing each page to get its placement. Finally, load the source new image into memory, replace the image content with the content in the memory, and save the output PDF file with the updated image in it.
Code to Edit Image in PDF using Python
This code shows the process to replace image in PDF. You can try hiding a specific image instead of replacing the image by using the image_placement.hide() method. If the destination image is rotated, you should read the image_placement.rotation property and use it while replacing it with the new image so that replaced image is also rotated.
