PyPDF2 #90

Closed MartinThoma closed 2 years ago

MartinThoma commented 2 years ago

Hi :wave:

I'm the new maintainer of PyPDF2: https://github.com/py-pdf/PyPDF2

I just stumbled over pdfreader and wondered if you wanted to join PyPDF2 :-) It seems that pdfreader supports a subset of PyPDF2.

I'm currently preparing the 2.0 release. As it's a major release, I want to introduce breaking changes that make the overall user / developer experience better: https://github.com/py-pdf/PyPDF2/discussions/752 (e.g. dropping Python 2.7 support; improving interfaces; removing inconsistencies).

You have also linked to pyPpdf in the README (link). That project is dead for many years now. PyPDF2 is the one fork that is still alive and has the biggest / most active community.

@MartinThoma I'll update the link. I tried PyPDF2 before starting this project and had multiple issues with non-standard encodings. It was long ago, though :-)

I think I I could contribute to PyPDF2 when have time.
