Use pypdf's PdfWriter to merge PDFs by adding each page from the source files with writer.add_page, then write the output. Alternatively, run qpdf --empty --pages file1.pdf file2.pdf -- merged.pdf from the command line.
Extract the form structure with the extract_form_structure.py script to get label and checkbox coordinates, build a fields.json with entry bounding boxes, validate it with check_bounding_boxes.py, then fill it using fill_pdf_form_with_annotations.py.
Use pdfplumber for table extraction; its page.extract_tables() method detects cell boundaries and returns rows as lists you can load into pandas DataFrames. For complex layouts, adjust table settings like snap_tolerance and intersection_tolerance.
Scanned PDFs have no text layer, so standard parsers return nothing. Convert pages to images with pdf2image and run OCR with pytesseract to recover the text content.
ReportLab's built-in fonts lack Unicode subscript and superscript glyphs, so characters like U+2082 render as solid boxes. Use the <sub> and <super> XML tags inside Paragraph objects instead.
Run qpdf --password=yourpassword --decrypt encrypted.pdf decrypted.pdf to produce an unprotected copy. In Python, call reader.decrypt("password") on a pypdf PdfReader before accessing pages.
