Resizing page - content placement

[jjennings955]

Hello,

I'm resizing pages by updating the mediabox to have 200 extra pixels of height. This puts the extra height at the top of the page. How do I shift the contents of the page up, so I can have the extra space at the bottom?

So right now I have something like this

    for i, page in enumerate(doc):
        # resize the page to add a comment section at the bottom
        rect = fitz.Rect(0, 0, page.rect.width, page.rect.height + 200)
        page.set_mediabox(rect)

Thanks in advance!

You can set the MediaBox with negative coordinates, too! For example:

doc=fitz.open()
page=doc.new_page()
cb=page.cropbox
page.draw_rect(page.rect,color=(1,0,0))
Point(0.0, 0.0)
page.set_mediabox(cb+(0,-200,0,0))
print(doc.xref_object(4))
<<
  /Type /Page
  /MediaBox [ 0 -200 595 842 ]   # this is legal!
  /Rotate 0
  /Resources 3 0 R
  /Parent 2 0 R
  /Contents [ 5 0 R ]
>>
doc.save("x.pdf")
page.cropbox
Rect(0.0, 0.0, 595.0, 1042.0)

looks like this:
