Editing PDF files usig Python

Hi All,

Greetings,

I am a newbie in Python, i have a requirement to develop a component in
python that can "text" water mark the PDF file both digitallly and visibly.
I have already devloped this kind of a component in .Net using iTextSharp
library. So i know a thing or 2 about water marking :-)
i also need to able to read back the water mark text that was put in to the
PDF (both digital and visible).

I looked around on google and found that pyPDF, win32Client etc which may be
the one i will have to use. using neither of them i could put a text and
hidden text in to the pdf files. Any light thrown in this direction will be
of great help to me. Appcreciate your help with this.

Thanks
Subrah
