I am using your library to rasterize PDFs in my presentation viewer https://github.com/jpreiss/pypdfdeck (branch
videos
).I want to add a feature where any embedded URL that starts with
file://
is interpreted to mean "instead of the PDF contents, display the video from this local path when viewing this page".The command line
pdfinfo
can extract the URLs, but it is not exposed through the current python interface.To do this, it would be nice if I can lean on
pdf2image
to properly find the poppler binaries, etc. Therefore, I added the option to extract URLs inpdfinfo_from_path()
.This is not ready to merge - it needs design review, tests, equivalent
_from_bytes()
version, better docs, etc. Just wanted to check if this feature is actually desired before I finish the work.Thanks!
