在Rails应用程序中更改上传的PDF文件

Question

我正在使用Rails应用程序（Rails 3.1）并且能够上传PDF文件。然后，PDF文件可以在其他用户登录后下载。

我真正想要做的是将当前登录用户的用户名添加到每个PDF页面的底部。所以在PDF的每个页面的底部会是这样的：

Downloaded from ww.mysite.com by Mr U. Name 

我知道如何使轨输出从查看PDF（按几tutorials），但我从来没有改变已上传的PDF。

备注：PDF文件将成为Powerpoint和/或Keynote的输出，因此每个页面都是一个“幻灯片”。

Answer 1

纯ruby解决方案并不存在，但我一直在用Python脚本使用pyPdf和pycairo进行相同类型的操作（在现有PDF中添加打印标记）。

您可以find it on Github，大部分代码在draw-outline.py和outline.py。

如果您对此解决方案感兴趣，我可以提取一个快速教程并在此处发布。

我已经提取的快速脚本将文本添加到任意PDF的每个页面更新，它的快速和肮脏，但它应该做的工作。

用法：

Usage: name-generator.py [options] filename 

Options: 
    -h, --help   show this help message and exit 
    -o OUTPUT_FILENAME, --output=OUTPUT_FILENAME 
         output filename, defaults to output.pdf 
    -t TEXT, --text=TEXT text to add 
    -s SIZE, --size=SIZE size of the text, in millimeters 
    -x X     horizontal position of the text in millimeters, the 
         origin is the left side 
    -y Y     vertical position of the text in millimeters, the 
         origin is the top side 

代码：

#!/usr/bin/env python 
from optparse import OptionParser 
import os.path 

# Constants 
MM_TO_PT = 2.834645669 
DEFAULT_OUTPUT = "output.pdf" 

# Option parsing 
parser = OptionParser("Usage: %prog [options] filename") 
parser.add_option("-o", "--output", type="string", dest="output_filename", default=DEFAULT_OUTPUT, help="output filename, defaults to %s" % DEFAULT_OUTPUT) 
parser.add_option("-t", "--text", type="string", dest="text", help="text to add") 
parser.add_option("-s", "--size", type="float", dest="size", default=10, help="size of the text, in millimeters") 
parser.add_option("-x", type="int", dest="x", default=100, help="horizontal position of the text in millimeters, the origin is the left side") 
parser.add_option("-y", type="int", dest="y", default=100, help="vertical position of the text in millimeters, the origin is the top side") 

(options, args) = parser.parse_args() 

if len(args) != 1 or not os.path.isfile(args[0]): 
    parser.print_help() 
    exit()

output.write(outputStream)
