Pymupdf: A Python Library That Reduces the Size of PDF files

  • PyMuPDF is a Python library used for various tasks including reducing the size of PDF files.
  • PDF files can bloat due to factors like high image resolutions and embedded fonts.
  • To reduce PDF size using PyMuPDF, one must install the library, import necessary modules, and compress the file.
  • The process involves loading the original PDF, scaling the content, converting it to JPEG, and inserting it into a new compressed document.
  • After compression, the new PDF is saved, and the original and compressed file sizes are displayed.
  • PyMuPDF can be applied for email attachments, web performance, and storage management in various settings.
  • Utilizing PyMuPDF with Streamlit allows for a user-friendly interface to handle file compression.
  • Streamlit setup involves creating a page, handling files, allowing user control, and managing the processing flow.
  • To run Streamlit locally, the GitHub repository for the project needs to be cloned, and Streamlit should be installed.
  • By running the Streamlit file, a local URL is generated for building and running mini projects like the PDF compressor.
