Hunting it down isn't the problem  - bottom link here, ignore the
exhortations to pay ISO for a copy....

You begin to taste the 'joy' when you've spent a night or two reading it,
but the true sensual pleasure only really kicks in when you
try to implement some feature and need a few dozen tries...

Py2PDf is probably a better starting point since it is inherently
read/write - our own library is designed to be read-only.  It's
also worth looking at Bruno Lowagie's iText library in Java
in case he's solved it...

But we'd be very happy to accept any patches if you get something
going.
