Rasterize a pdf to another pdf

[maxux]

I'm starting from the idea you can « censor » part of the document by adding an overlay, but like wiki said, it's just an overlay, text is still present on the document.

I'm looking for a way where you can't get original content. One easy idea is to simply rasterize content, so original text won't be physically present at all. This is clearly not optimal for document size, but it works :p

There is already a page.get_pixmap() which does that actually. The feature request here would be a simple way to convert a whole document to a rasterized version of that document.

In the meantime, I'm testing some snippet to do it manually. :)

The feature request here would be a simple way to convert a whole document to a rasterized version of that document.

You mean a feature for these 7-10 lines?

mat = fitz.Matrix(zoom, zoom)  # zoom = parameter
source = fitz.open(...)
target = fitz.open()
for page in source:
    pix = page.get_pixmap(matrix=mat)
    tarpage = target.new_page(width=pix.width, height=pix.height)
    tarpage.insert_image(tarpage.rect, stream=pix.pil_tobytes("JPEG"))
target.ez_save(targetname)  # targetname = parameter

How about you write a Document method covering this and submit a Pull Request 😎?
