Create a frame out of an input?

[Rapid1898-code]

Hello - i would like to create a pdf out of a text-information like

1;hip saddle ripple bring million minimum master balcony float wrong brand midnight;0xc0B9ecc31e8b1AB411B4ebaA05973bB0x45AB9e6

So the content builds a frame in the pdf like you can see in the attached pdf:

EXAMPLE.pdf

Is this possible to do using this library?
How can i do this?

Yes, this is certainly possible. However, with some involvement of course ...:

1. You can insert a text line with a given font, font size and color, starting at some insertion point (which will become the bottom-left point of the first character) and with a desired writing direction.

   • Then you can "morph" the result with a matrix, which can be up-down or left-right flips, rotation by some angle, and scaling in x or y direction.

2. Left and right right text looks like being evenly distributed along the available axis. That is also possible but needs a bit of consideration.

Let me prepare a few example approaches ...

import pymupdf

purple = (1, 0, 1)
fontfile = "LiberationMono-Bold.ttf"
font = pymupdf.Font(fontfile=fontfile)
fontname = "myfont"
fontsize = 20
doc = pymupdf.open()
page = doc.new_page()
page.insert_font(fontname, fontbuffer=font.buffer)
text1 = "hip saddle ripple bring".upper().replace(" ", " " * 10)
text_len = font.text_length(text1, fontsize)
m_l_r = pymupdf.Matrix(-1, 1)  # left-right mirror matrix
right_bbox = pymupdf.Rect(
    page.rect.width - 80, 60, page.rect.width, page.rect.height - 60
)
p1 = right_bbox.tl + (20, 0)
page.insert_textbox(
    right_bbox,
    text1,
    rotate=90,
    color=purple,
    fontname=fontname,
    align=pymupdf.TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER,
    fontsize=fontsize,
    morph=(p1, m_l_r),  # mirror along vertical axis through right_bbox
)

text2 = "float wrong brand midnight".upper().replace(" ", " " * 10)
left_bbox = pymupdf.Rect(0, 60, 80, page.rect.height - 60)
p2 = left_bbox.tr + (-20, 0)
page.insert_textbox(
    left_bbox,
    text2,
    rotate=-90,
    color=purple,
    fontname=fontname,
    align=pymupdf.TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER,
    fontsize=fontsize,
    morph=(p2, m_l_r),  # mirror along vertical axis through left_bbox
)

text3 = "million minimum master balcony".upper().replace(" ", " " * 2)
top_bbox = pymupdf.Rect(60, 40, page.rect.width - 60, 80)
p3 = (top_bbox.bl + top_bbox.br) / 2
page.insert_textbox(
    top_bbox,
    text3,
    rotate=0,
    color=purple,
    fontname=fontname,
    align=pymupdf.TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER,
    fontsize=fontsize,
    morph=(p3, m_l_r),  # mirror along vertical axis through top_bbox
)

text4 = "0xc0B9ecc31e8b1AB411B\n4ebaA05973bB0x45AB9e6".upper()
bottom_bbox = pymupdf.Rect(
    80, page.rect.height - 90, page.rect.width - 80, page.rect.height
)
p4 = (bottom_bbox.bl + bottom_bbox.br) / 2
page.insert_textbox(
    bottom_bbox,
    text4,
    rotate=0,
    color=purple,
    fontname=fontname,
    align=pymupdf.TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER,
    fontsize=fontsize,
    morph=(p4, m_l_r),  # mirror along vertical axis through bottom_bbox
)
doc.subset_fonts()
doc.ez_save("test.pdf")

This script produces the following PDF as a first cut

Thats amazing - let me check that
