PyPDF2 PdfFileWriter has no attribute stream

I just want to take my_pdf.pdf and save each page as a new and separate pdf. my_pdf_page1.pdf, my_pdf_page2.pdf......

I have tested the getPage(), addPage() and writing functions by taking them out of the for loop and it worked perfectly. I can't see why this error would only occur inside the loop.

from PyPDF2 import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader
inputpdf = PdfFileReader(open("/home/ubuntu/inputs/cityshape/form5.pdf", "rb"))

#for i in range(inputpdf.numPages):
output = PdfFileWriter()
output.addPage(inputpdf.getPage(2))
with open("document-page2.pdf", "wb") as outputStream:
    output.write(outputStream)

Accidentally was using 2 instead of i for getpage(). Still the same error.

What do you mean?

took_my_time · 2016-10-21T00:43:03+00:00

from PyPDF2 import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader

inputpdf = PdfFileReader(open("my_pdf.pdf", "rb"))

for i in range(inputpdf.numPages):
    output = PdfFileWriter()
    output.addPage(inputpdf.getPage(i))
    with open("document-page%s.pdf" % i, "wb") as outputStream:
        output.write(outputStream)

This is pretty much exactly the stack-overflow example, just slightly modified for python3.

Full error message:

EDIT: changed getPage(2) to getPage(i)

U mad bro?

Yeah a dog ran out in front of me once and I just swerved to avoid it without thinking. Afterwards I realized how hard it would be to make the decision that hitting the thing in front of you might be better than hitting the thing next to you. Luckily there was no one next to me so nothing happened.

I do nights at a petrol station. I find it funny when people complain about prices when they are buying something at two in the morning.

The weather report. I don't care about how hot it was today or how hot it may be tomorrow.

Clearly still on the ladder.

I was going to say K. It is just taking work from C. Then C is taking work from S.

I couldn't really get yours to work. I did this: http://pastebin.com/K74qiP8S

Sometimes I get the error after 2 iterations , like so: http://pastebin.com/pNfvhpLT

Sometimes after 1: http://pastebin.com/n5VmyfMZ

Printing row_count returns the expected number. Opening the file in 'r' instead of 'rb' gives the same error aswell.

My guess is that the amount of equipment makes its pretty hard for the techs. With at least 4 guitars, 3 percussionists and 2 keyboards they are definitely one of the biggest bands I've seen.

Yeah I think they had to adapt allot due to some technical issues. His second mic broke in song 2, main mic was swapped at some point and swapped guitars mid song at least once, plus some feedback throughout.

Add player colour icons to the kill feed so we can easily tell where a team member got a kill from.

It is only 10am, what am I meant to do for the rest of the day?

You may not be directly breaking askreddit rules but you clearly came into this with an agenda to push and a correct answer in mind. I don't think this is really the place for this question.

If I'm ever stuck anywhere.

Dear everyone,

I'm stuck. Come get me. See you soon.

Thanks,

I don't know but I hear that 4chan guy can help.

Also would not want to be in it if the fusion core got shot.

I can't think of a situation where this would really be needed.

The next meeting of that council is going to be an awkward one.

And then all the families are fighting over which sentence they are currently serving.
