title: Maintained alternatives to PyPDF2
body: <p>I'm using the <a href="https://pypi.org/project/PyPDF2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>PyPDF2</code></a> library for extracting text, images, page width and heights, annotations, and other attributes from pdf documents. However, the library has many bugs and issues and <a href="https://github.com/mstamy2/PyPDF2/issues/571" rel="nofollow noreferrer">seems not to be maintained</a> for a long time already. (edit: <strong>PyPDF2 is maintained again</strong>)</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Is there a more vivid fork that is being maintained and developed?</li>
  <li>Is there a good alternative?</li>
  </ul>
  <p>From what I know, <code>reportlab</code> is more suitable for creating brand new pdf's (or maybe I'm just not experienced enough with reportlab).</p>
