pyPDF2 merge 2 pdf pages into one

merge_pdfs.py

#!/bin/python3


from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter
from PyPDF2 import PageObject

# Theses files are just for testing, no point in merging these
reader = PdfFileReader(open("Nextcloud Manual.pdf",'rb'))

# this defines the output page format (relevant if not the same)
sup_reader = PdfFileReader(open("Cplusplus.pdf",'rb'))

writer = PdfFileWriter()

for pageNo in range(min(reader.getNumPages(), sup_reader.getNumPages())):
    print("Merging page:", pageNo)
    invoice_page = reader.getPage(pageNo)
    sup_page = sup_reader.getPage(pageNo)
    translated_page = PageObject.createBlankPage(None, sup_page.mediaBox.getWidth(), sup_page.mediaBox.getHeight())
    translated_page.mergeScaledTranslatedPage(sup_page, 1, 0, 0)

    translated_page.mergePage(invoice_page)

    writer.addPage(translated_page)

with open('out.pdf', 'wb') as f:
	writer.write(f)

As noted by @dreua below, this has been addressed in the code posted here. I'm going to leave an edited version of this note though because others may still find code with from PyPDF2.pdf import PageObject in places and wonder about the difference.

Note that the second import statement of this code was outdated up until last week with regards to current use. Here in the documentation for PyPDF it states: "PyPDF2.pdf no longer exists. You can import from PyPDF2 directly". So the second import line became from PyPDF2 import PageObject. Otherwise, you get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyPDF2.pdf'.

@fomightez Thank you, I just edited this Gist accordingly.
