Bug report

Quote:User runs the system wrapper from /usr/bin/pip3 which is from the OS-supplied pip 8.
This wrapper expects to see pip 8, but it doesn't because user site takes priority over system site.

So it can use the old pip-8 that's placed in /usr/bin/pip3,newest version is now pip-19.3.1.
A fix that is in the link.
Or pyenv Simple Python Version Management then is never sudo or pip3 and it use internal pip version from Python.
Then it work like this.

Oct 11, 2016 Then, install the following third-party python libraries: Pillow (Python Imaging Library) https. Pip install Pillow pip install reportlab pip install watchdog pip install pypdf2. On Mac OS X, you can install these using homebrew.

PyPDF2 is a Python library built as a PDF toolkit. It is capable of: Extracting document information (title, author, ) Splitting and Merging documents; Cropping pages; Encrypting and decrypting PDF files. PyPDF2 is not an inbuilt library, so we have to install it. Pip3 install PyPDF2 Now, we are ready to write our script to. Viewed 1k times. I am wondering, why, for the life of me I cannot import and use PyPDF2 (PDF library) in Python 3.7. Firstly, my import fails at top of main.py (i.e. Below) from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader. Then I have tried pip install PyPDF2 and variants pip2 install PyPDF3 etc etc. Installing or updating Python on your computer is the first step to becoming a Python programmer. There are a multitude of installation methods: you can download official Python distributions from Python.org, install from a package manager, and even install specialized distributions for scientific computing, Internet of Things, and embedded.

Motivation

Since I want to work PDF file with Python on my work, I investigate what library can do that and how to use it.

Install Pypdf2 Python Anaconda

Preparation

The runtime and module version are as below.

python 3.6
PyPDF2 1.26.0

Install PyPDF2

To work PDF file with Python, PyPDF2 is often used.

PyPDF2 can

Extract text from PDF file
Work existing PDF file and create new one

Let's install with pip command.

Prepare PDF file

Prepare a new PDF file for working. Download Executive Order in this time.It looks like below. There are three pages in all.

Read PDF file

In this section, Open and read a normal PDF file.Print number of pages in the PDF file in the following sample code.

Open the PDF file as binary read mode after importing PyPDF2.And then, create a PdfFileReader object to work PDF.

Check the result.

Read a PDF file with password(Encrypted PDF)

In this section, Open and read an encrypted PDF file that has a password when opening a file. To create an encrypted PDF file, set a password with enabling encryption option when saving a PDF file.

Failed example

Save a PDF file named executive_order_encrypted.pdf with a password hoge1234.Open the PDF file and execute with the previous code that read the PDF without password.

The following error message will be printed.

Success example

The decrypt function given a password string to an argument decrypts an encrypted PDF file.It is a better way to check if the file is encrypted with isEncrypted function before calling decrypt function.

Troubleshooting: `NotImplementedError` is thrown in calling `decrypt` function

The following error message may be thrown when working an encrypted PDF file.

The error message means that PyPDF2 doesn't have an implementation to decrypt an algorithm that encrypts the PDF file.If this happens, it's difficult to open the PDF file with PyPDF2 only.

Decrypt with qpdf

Using qpdf is a quick solution.qpdf is a tool to work PDF file on command line interface.We can download its installer for Windows from SourceForge, or install it for Mac with brew install qpdf command.

Sample code that qpdf decrypts a PDF file is below.

Install Pypdf2 Linux Python

The point is that Python executes the qpdf command as the OS command andsave decrypted PDF file as new PDF file without password. Then, create PdfFileReader instance to work the PDF file with PyPDF2.
