Planned Enhancements

This is a list of changes and enhancements we envision short and medium term.

While there is no guaranty that any or all of these changes will be implemented, we of course also hate to ignite expectations that we cannot fulfill later ...

• Display / extract document information: Like images, fonts, fields
• Access annotations: access all annotation subtypes (not just links)
• PDF methods: work in progress - manipulating the page tree directly (complementing the select() method)

Done:

• Display / extract document information: Images and fonts can be listed on a per-page-level in v1.9.2
• Extending output capabilities: (v1.9.1) - add possibility to change or add bookmarks (i.e. the items of the table of contents).
• Documents in memory: (v1.9.2) - The possible Python formats of should include bytes and str (Python 2), not only bytearray.
• Accessing low-level PDF information: (v1.9.2) - Things like length of the XREF table, XREF numbers of selected objects (e.g. pages), etc.
• PDF output: (v1.9.2) - Merge / copy selectable pages from one PDF into another for doing PDF joins without needing other software.
