Handling pdf files with python. - fuzzin - Jan-19-2022
I'm working on a project that identifies certain words in a PDF file. Once I find the words, I want to leave them marked in the file. Is it possible to highlight the words in the original PDF file and save or is it only possible to do this by creating a new PDF? I would like library tips so I can research about it.
