page = doc.Pages.Add()
s = "Hello, World"
x = 10.0
y = 10.0
font = PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica ,30.0)
color = PdfRGBColor(Color.get_Black())
textBrush = PdfSolidBrush(color)
# Draw the text
page.Canvas.DrawString(s, font, textBrush, x, y)
# Save the document
doc.SaveToFile(outputFile)
doc.Close()

Convert PDFs to Word Documents

from spire.pdf.common import *
from spire.pdf import *

outputFile = "ToDocx.docx"
inputFile = "./Demos/Data/ToDocx.pdf"

# Load a pdf document
inputfile = inputFile
doc = PdfDocument()
doc.LoadFromFile(inputfile)
# Convert to doc file.
doc.SaveToFile(outputFile, FileFormat.DOCX)
doc.Close()

Encrypt PDF Documents

from spire.pdf.common import *
from spire.pdf import *

# Create a PdfDocument object
doc = PdfDocument()

# Load a sample PDF file
doc.LoadFromFile("input.pdf")

# Encrypt the PDF file with an open password and a permission password
doc.Security.Encrypt("openPsd", "permissionPsd", PdfPermissionsFlags.FillFields, PdfEncryptionKeySize.Key128Bit)

# Save the result file
doc.SaveToFile("output/Encrypted.pdf", FileFormat.PDF)

Extract Text from PDF Documents

from spire.pdf.common import *
from spire.pdf import *

def WriteAllText(fname:str,text:List[str]):
        fp = open(fname,"w")
        for s in text:
            fp.write(s)
        fp.close()

inputFile = "./Demos/Data/PDFTemplate-Az.pdf"
outputFile = "ExtractTextFromParticularPage_out.txt"


doc = PdfDocument()
# Read a pdf file
doc.LoadFromFile(inputFile)
# Get the first page
page = doc.Pages[0]
# Extract text from page keeping white space
text = page.ExtractText(True)
