Visibility of Changes in the PDF

[Aadil-5122]

Good Morning sir,

i would like to ask, if the changes in the PDF are visible without saving the PDF,

For example:

If i delete an image in a doc (say doc1), now "without" saving the doc,
if i apply page.get_pixmap(clip=rect), where rect is the rectangle in which the image was contained, will i get the pixmap with respect to thenew state of the document (the one without the image)

Note that i havent saved the document in any step after making changes!

Yes, this will reflect changes made so far ... however some changes, especially pertaining to annotations (new or updated), require that you "refresh" the page before taking a photo via get_picmap(). This is done by page = doc.reload_page(page).

After deleting the "image" in a PDF (using the Delete image script in your repository), i reloaded the page, now when i try to use "get_pixmap" function, an error pops in:

pix= page.get_pixmap(clip=rectBack, alpha=False, dpi=150)
ValueError: orphaned object: parent is None

How do i resolve this?

You must use the full statement as I wrote it. Not just doc.reload_page(page).
