PyPDF2 (DEPRECATED: migrate to PyPDF)

PyPDF2 is a pure-Python library designed for PDF file manipulation, offering capabilities like splitting, merging, cropping, and transforming PDF pages. The `pypdf2` package on PyPI, with its final major version 3.0.1, is now officially deprecated. It functions as a compatibility wrapper, internally using the API of `pypdf` version 3.0.1. All active development, new features, and security updates are happening under the `pypdf` project (currently at version 6.x.x), which is the recommended library for all new and ongoing PDF processing tasks in Python.
