Context
e.g.
outputStream = open("destination.pdf", "wb")
key = '/Annots'
uri = '/URI'
ank = '/A'
import os
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
cwd = os.getcwd()
for x in range(existing_pdf.getNumPages()):
page = existing_pdf.getPage(x)
page_object = page.getObject()
if key in page_object:
ann = page_object[key]
for a in ann:
u = a.getObject()
if uri in u[ank]:
test = u[ank][uri]
test1 = u[ank].keys()
u[TextStringObject(ank)][TextStringObject(uri)] = TextStringObject(f"file:./foo1.pdf")
output.addPage(page)
# finally, write "output" to a real file
output.write(outputStream)
outputStream.close()
The above does not work i.e. the foo1.pdf is not linked properly. If I add "file:///{CWD}/foo1.pdf" it works. Is there a way to use relative path only?
After reading through the pdf structure and documentation I was able to write the following and it works as expected.
for x in range(existing_pdf.getNumPages()):
page = existing_pdf.getPage(x)
page_object = page.getObject()
if key in page_object:
ann = page_object[key]
for a in ann:
u = a.getObject()
if uri in u[ank]:
del u[TextStringObject(ank)][TextStringObject(uri)]
u[TextStringObject(ank)][NameObject('/F')] = TextStringObject(f"./sheets/sheet1.pdf")
u[TextStringObject(ank)][TextStringObject('/S')] = NameObject("/Launch")
u[TextStringObject(ank)][NameObject('/NewWindow')] = BooleanObject(f"true")
output.addPage(page)
# finally, write "output" to a real file
output.write(outputStream)
outputStream.close()
