I want to make existing text in a PDF links to another PDF, or concatenate the PDFs and then link internally. There would be 100 + links so I do not want to do this by hand.
I tried using pypdf, this worked to get the pages the links should lead to, but I do not know how to make the text links.
So: How to make links in an existing PDF using python?

I am trying to remove a page number text object from each page of a PDF I automate each month. I have been able to run a python script to create the final PDF I need, but am unable to automatically remove the incorrect page numbers and replace with new page nums in the correct order (as I have to piece this PDF together from multiple source PDFs.
Any thoughts on best way to complete this?
I am writing a python code which writes a hyperlink into a excel file.This hyperlink should open in a specific page in a pdf document.
I am trying something like
Worksheet.write_url('A1',"C:/Users/...../mypdf#page=3") but this doesn't work.Please let me know how this can be done.
Are you able to open the pdf file directly to a specific page even without xlsxwriter? I can not.
From Adobe's official site:
To target an HTML link to a specific page in a PDF file, add
#page=[page number] to the end of the link's URL.
For example, this HTML tag opens page 4 of a PDF file named
myfile.pdf:
Note: If you use UNC server locations (\servername\folder) in a link,
set the link to open to a set destination using the procedure in the
following section.
If you use URLs containing local hard drive addresses (c:\folder), you cannot link to page numbers or set destinations.

I'm trying to scrape the PDF from this webpage using python:
http://pesquisa.in.gov.br/imprensa/jsp/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=3&pagina=1&data=31/03/1993
The problem is that the above URL points to the viewer (with date-page parameters), not the PDF file. I tried to inspect the html code to see the URL to the PDF directly, but could not.
any help on how to find the correct URL and implement a way to download them in python?
Edit:
I will later generalize this to other days and pages, the full list of day-page links can be found by searching for the relevant period here: http://portal.imprensanacional.gov.br/
I need to write a python code to download files from links in a table in the website. I know how to pull it from a single link, but I don't know how to pull it from the table. Below is the screenshot of the link.
I need to learn how to download files from multiple links organized in a table.
Take a look at requests and beautiful soup. They'll provide you with all the tools you need to 1) download a webpage (requests) 2) parse the returned HTML and locate the link within the table (beautiful soup) then 4) download the file (requests).
I am using rst2pdf to generate a PDF. I am using links to sections and they appear as hyperlinks in the PDF. If I hover over the link I can see it says "Go to page XXX". Is there a way to insert that page number into the text, so that it can be seen on hardcopies?
I'm starting using reportlab recently. Maybe you need to use the superscript tag?
p = Paragraph("<link href='http://someurl' color='blue'><u>Some text</u><super> [goto page xx]</super></link>", customstyle)
