It lets you fill PDF forms with data, merge multiple PDFs, extract or rearrange pages, split documents into individual pages, apply stamps, and perform compression operations\u2014all by calling Python functions rather than invoking pdftk directly.\n\nThe package has no Python runtime dependencies and relies entirely on pdftk being available as a system binary. It was last updated in 2021 and is now abandoned, meaning no active maintenance or bug fixes are happening. While it still works if pdftk is installed, the lack of updates means it may not handle edge cases in modern PDFs or adapt to changes in pdftk itself.","worth_installing":"Yes-with-conditions. Install only if you already have pdftk running on your system and need straightforward Python bindings to its core functions. Do not install if you need active maintenance, bug fixes, or support for edge cases\u2014the package is abandoned and has not been updated since 2021. Consider alternatives if you require modern PDF handling or plan to rely on this for production systems."},"id":"pypdftk","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pypdftk","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pypdftk.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pypdftk/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-04-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pypdftk","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python wrapper for PDFTK"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":216971,"position":9369,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5"}
