Move links in .pdf to spreadsheet, on password protected .pdf
I looked through PyPDF4 (https://github.com/claird/PyPDF4) and tried to decode a pdf on osx but found that PyPDF4 supports decryption for algorithms 1 or 2 however OSX PDF encryption only writes encrypted pdfs with algorithm 4. So basically, I don't have a tool readily available to create a starting encrypted pdf that could be decrypted by PyPDF4.

I'm not a python expert, but I've heard good things about PyQT. You might want to check it out. You can then use PyPDF to read/write PDF files.

Python PDF Generation from HTML with WeasyPrint
While there are numerous ways to handle PDF documents with Python, I find generating or editing HTML far easier and more reliable than trying to figure out the intricacies of the PDF format. Sure, there is the venerable ReportLab, and if HTML is not your cup of tea, I encourage you to look into that option. There is also PyPDF2. Or maybe PyPDF3? No, perhaps PyPDF4! Hmmm... see the problem? My best guess is PyPDF3, for what that is worth.
