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
