Place image over PDF

Question

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 check

Answer 1

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()
