Download PDF text-edit CLI (Python)

Optional tools for your computer: PyMuPDF script + requirements.txt. The live site runs in the browser/PHP; this ZIP is for local or VPS use.

1. One-shot install (Hostinger SSH)

This shell script decodes the Python file inside it, writes scripts/pdf_text_smart_edit.py, then runs pip install --user — no venv (avoids symlink errors on shared hosting).

Download install-pdf-cli-hostinger.sh

Or download the small ZIP (same tools, no auto-install):

2. On the server (SSH)

  1. cd ~/domains/pdfnio.com/public_html
  2. Upload the downloads/ folder (or at least the .sh file), then on the server: curl -fLO https://pdfnio.com/downloads/install-pdf-cli-hostinger.sh (static URL, not /download/).
  3. Run: bash install-pdf-cli-hostinger.sh

3. On your PC (ZIP instead)

  1. Unzip the file.
  2. pip install -r requirements.txt then 
    python3 pdf_text_smart_edit.py input.pdf out.pdf "old text" "new text" 0
    Page index: 0 = first page.

4. Hostinger notes

Shared hosting (normal web): your site is PHP. You usually cannot run this Python script on the server. Use the tools on this computer, then upload the resulting PDF if needed.

VPS with SSH and Python 3: upload the same files (or the whole project), create a venv, pip install -r requirements.txt, then run the script over SSH—same as on a local machine.

5. What’s in the ZIP

  • requirements.txt — pymupdf
  • pdf_text_smart_edit.py — CLI editor
  • get_text_properties_pdfjs.js — reference for browser/pdf.js
  • HOSTING.txt — short notes in Arabic
