Both PyMuPDF and +MuPDF are maintained and developed by Artifex Software, Inc. + +MuPDF can access files in PDF, XPS, OpenXPS, CBZ, EPUB and FB2 (eBooks) +formats, and it is known for its top performance and exceptional +rendering quality. + +With PyMuPDF you can access files with extensions like .pdf, .xps, +.oxps, .cbz, .fb2 or .epub. In addition, about 10 popular image formats +can also be handled like documents: .png, .jpg, .bmp, .tiff, etc. + +krop (available on SBo) can use PyMuPDF for both rendering and cropping. + +Mupdf is not a dependency because all of the necessary code is built +into PyMuPDF. + +Optional runtime dependencies are python3-fonttools, tesseract, and +python3-pymupdf_fonts. + +To enable Tesseract OCR functions in PyMuPDF, the software must be +installed and the system environment variable TESSDATA_PREFIX must +be defined as follows: +export TESSDATA_PREFIX=/usr/share/tessdata |
