invisible text layer

[lbr991]

I'm trying to take a non-searchable pdf and convert it to searchable pdf by superimposing an invisible text layer (or similar).
I need the invisible text bboxes to align exactly with the original bboxes (extracted by Textract).
I also don't want to specify a font and font_size because then the bboxes wouldn't align perfectly.

Is this possible with fpdf2?

Hi @lbr991

Is this possible with fpdf2?

I do not think so, sorry.

Have you checked this section of our documentation?
https://pyfpdf.github.io/fpdf2/CombineWithPdfrw.html

Also, do you know this simple trick to use a browser in order to convert a protected PDF to an unprotected PDF?
