The Pdfalyzer is a PDF internals visualization tool built with PyPDF2 (and a lot of colors)

Figured this was worth a post here since @MartinThoma swung by The Pdfalyzer repo to offer a PR the other day and expressed his appreciation for the project. I suspect The Pdfalyzer could be quite a useful tool for anyone who has to deal with the internal plumbing of the portable document format in any way.

Lots of enormous screenshots over at the repo. Also available on PyPi.

p.s. thanks for maintaining PyPDF2; would not have been able to put this together without it.

I've recently added pdfalyzer to https://pypdf2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/meta/faq.html#who-uses-PyPDF2 - Good idea to promote it here as well👍

@pubpub-zz you're digging way deeper into pdf files than I am. Maybe pdfalyzer is useful to you :-)
