Is it possible to highlight the PDF downloaded from box.com and write it to another HttpResponse stream on the fly(without Disk I/O)?

Hi there,

Is it possible to highlight the PDF obtained from Box and write that result to another HttpResponse stream on the fly?
Anyway, I don't want to cause disk reads and writes.

Any advice would be appreciated.

What does that mean: "obtained from BOX"?

Thank you. It means to get files from cloud storage box.com using API.
Sorry for the confusion, I've changed the title.

PyMuPDF does not support dwonloading / uploading to / from the internet.
But once you have a memory version of a PDF from whatever source, you can do everything with it as with a disk-resident file.
When finished (e.g. after highlighting whatever stuff on whatever page), create a new memory image from it via doc.tobytes( ...whatever parameters ...) and deliver it (a bytes object) to some place (e.g. upload it).
