PyPDF2 Crash Course - Working with PDFs in Python [2023]

I really really need to know how to flatten a pdf. Ghostscript doesn't work, Magick merges all my pages onto the first. I can't use pdftk on a Silicon Mac, roads all lead to nowhere!

I have a file with 15 pages and I want to write page 2 through page 15 to another file because I no longer need page 1. So I want to throw away page 1.

Can you help me with this?

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(main_data_path):
for dir1 in dirs:
huidige_file = path + "\\" + dir1 + "\\" + FILE
if os.path.exists(huidige_file):
pdf = PdfReader(huidige_file)

with open(huidige_file, "rb") as pdf_reader:
file_new = path + "\\" + dir1 + "\\" + outpdffilename

pdfreader = PdfReader(pdf_reader)
for i in range(1, len(pdfreader.pages)):
selected_page = pdfreader.pages[i] # page = pdfreader.pages(i, num_of_pages)
pdf_writer = PdfWriter()
pdf_writer.add_page(selected_page)
with open(file_new, "wb") as outPdf:
pdf_writer.write(outPdf)
print("Created a pdf: '{}'".format(file_new)), print(i)
# pdf_writer.write(outPdf)

Hello,
I almost succeeded in this. I have one more problem. I want to add more pages to the pdf file. But it overwrites the previous page. I want to add it but I can't.

Thanks

you did not cover the real scenarios, when extracted text from research paper pdfs contain weird fonts, non homogeneous spacing, newlines and sometime letters overlap on each other. Can pypdf2 deal with that?
