[reportlab-users] Is it possible to open a PDF from reportlab?

[Tim Grant]

The licenced version of our software (ReportLab PLUS) allows you to open 
existing pdfs and include them in the output.  So you can overlay other 
text and graphics on top of the existing pdf and combine the output into 
a new file.

However, you can't edit the contents of the existing pdf directly.
