This is a library that lets you easy insert text into a pdf. It is super useful when you need to prefill an existing pdf template (for example, a grant application form) with your own data.
pip install pdfformfiller
Once installed, you can add text fields to any pdf. You specify the bounding box of the field, and the text will auto-resize to fit within that rectangle.
from pdfformfiller import PdfFormFiller
filler = PdfFormFiller("myform.pdf")
filler.add_text(text, pagenum, (x1, y1), (x2, y2))
filler.write(outfile)
In order to determine the correct (x1, y1), (x2, y2) coordinates for your test field bounding box, we recommend dumping your existing pdf template to images with 72 dpi and using an image editor (like GIMP) to find the pixel coordinates of the rectangle you want your bounding box to be.
