Python-Net: Append Pages to PDF

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Combining pages from different PDF documents is a common requirement in document processing workflows. Using Aspose.PDF for Python, developers can easily append pages from one or more PDF files to an existing document.

This code snippet shows how to use the append method of the PdfFileEditor class to add selected pages from another PDF file to the end of a source PDF. By specifying the page range, developers can control exactly which pages are included in the final document.

Create a PdfFileEditor Object.
Append Pages from Another PDF.

The specified pages from the secondary PDF document are appended to the end of the original PDF, creating a combined output file.

import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades

import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))
from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


# Append Pages to PDF
def append_pages_to_pdf(infile, sample_file, outfile):
    # Create a PdfFileEditor object
    pdf_editor = pdf_facades.PdfFileEditor()
    # Append pages from the specified PDF document to the end of the source PDF document
    pdf_editor.append(infile, [sample_file], 1, 2, outfile)

Python-Net: Delete Pages from PDF

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Sometimes PDF documents contain unnecessary or sensitive pages that need to be removed. Using Aspose.PDF for Python, developers can programmatically delete specific pages from a PDF without manually editing the file.

Our example shows how to use the delete method of the PdfFileEditor class to remove pages from a PDF document. By specifying the page numbers to delete, you can create a new PDF that excludes unwanted pages. This functionality is useful for cleaning up reports, removing confidential information, or preparing custom document extracts.

Create a PdfFileEditor Object.
Define Pages to Delete.
Delete the Pages.


    import aspose.pdf as ap
    import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades

    import sys
    from os import path

    sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))
    from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


    # Delete Pages from PDF
    def delete_pages_from_pdf(infile, outfile):
        # Create a PdfFileEditor object
        pdf_editor = pdf_facades.PdfFileEditor()

        # Define the page numbers to be deleted (1-based index)
        pages_to_delete = [2, 4]

        # Delete the specified pages from the PDF document
        pdf_editor.delete(infile, pages_to_delete, outfile)

Python-Net: Extract Pages from PDF

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Extracting pages from a PDF is useful when you need to create a subset of a document, share only specific content, or reorganize PDFs for presentations, reports, or printing. Using Aspose.PDF for Python, developers can programmatically extract pages from a PDF file and save them as a new document.

Learn how to use the extract method of the PdfFileEditor class. By specifying a list of pages to extract, you can generate a new PDF containing only the selected pages while preserving the original content and formatting.

Create a PdfFileEditor Object.
Define Pages to Extract.
Extract the Pages.

import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades

import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))
from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


# Extract Pages from PDF
def extract_pages_from_pdf(infile, outfile):
    # Create a PdfFileEditor object
    pdf_editor = pdf_facades.PdfFileEditor()

    # Define the page numbers to be extracted (1-based index)
    pages_to_extract = [1, 4, 3]

    # Extract the specified pages from the PDF document and save to a new PDF document
    pdf_editor.extract(infile, pages_to_extract, outfile)

Python-Net: Insert Pages into PDF

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Inserting pages into an existing PDF is a common requirement when combining documents, adding content, or reorganizing reports. Using Aspose.PDF for Python, developers can programmatically insert pages from one PDF into another at a specified location.

This article shows how to use the insert method of the PdfFileEditor class. By specifying the page numbers to insert and the target location, you can merge content from different PDFs while maintaining the original formatting and structure.

Create a PdfFileEditor Object.
Define the Insertion Position and Pages.
Insert Pages.

import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades

import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))
from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


# Insert Pages into PDF
def insert_pages_into_pdf(infile, sample_file, outfile):
    # Create a PdfFileEditor object
    pdf_editor = pdf_facades.PdfFileEditor()

    # Define the page number where new pages will be inserted (1-based index)
    insert_page_number = 2

    pdf_editor.insert(infile, insert_page_number, sample_file, [1, 2], outfile)
