PDF Replacer

Replace annotations in a PDF with rows of a CSV file.

Add free text annotations to your PDF file and starting with a prefix (default #). For each row the script will generate a new PDF file where each annotation with the prefix (default #) will be replaced with the corresponding value in that row.

Give the Python script:

• the PDF file to replace in (-p parameter)
• the CSV file to replace from (-c parameter)

Examples

Simple Replace: python3 pdf_replacer.py -p input.pdf -c input.csv

Advanced, you can also change the CSV delimiter and PDF prefix:

python3 pdf_replacer.py 
    -p example.pdf
    -c example.csv
    -o out  # Out directory
    -d ","  # CSV delimiter
    -P "#"  # PDF prefix
    -f false
    -v  # Verbose logging
    -a "Attachment"  # The column which specifies the attachment
