PDF水印和PDF文件合并时报错：PyPDF2.utils.PdfReadError: Illegal character in Name Object

1. 源代码如下：

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
# 添加水印
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter
from copy import copy

sy = PdfFileReader(r"C:\cdb\intron_prd\ig.plm\ig\templates\watermark.pdf")
mark_page = sy.getPage(0)  # 水印所在的页数
# 读取添加水印的文件
file_reader = PdfFileReader(r"C:\cdb\pdfconver" + u"\ACL替代物料通知书20230612-6.pdf")
file_writer = PdfFileWriter()

for page in range(file_reader.getNumPages()):
    # 读取需要添加水印每一页pdf
    source_page = file_reader.getPage(page)
    new_page = copy(mark_page)  #
    new_page.mergePage(source_page)  # new_page(水印)在下面，source_page原文在上面
    file_writer.addPage(new_page)

with open(r"C:\cdb\pdfconver"+u"\ACL替代物料通知书20230612-6_有水印.pdf", 'wb') as out:
    file_writer.write(out)

3.　处理方式

报错原因：该错误是由于读取的PDF文件中包含多种编码导致

• 分析上面报错部分，可以看出错误来源于E:\python_workspace\TornadoDemo\venv\Lib\site-packages\PyPDF2\generic.py", line 484。generic.py文件第484行，原始内容为：

• try:
      return NameObject(name.decode('utf-8'))
  except (UnicodeEncodeError, UnicodeDecodeError) as e:
      # Name objects should represent irregular characters
      # with a '#' followed by the symbol's hex number
      if not pdf.strict:
          warnings.warn("Illegal character in Name Object", utils.PdfReadWarning)
          return NameObject(name)
      else:
          raise utils.PdfReadError("Illegal character in Name Object")

• 需要将上述原始内容，修改为如下内容：

• try:
              return NameObject(name.decode('utf-8'))
          except (UnicodeEncodeError, UnicodeDecodeError) as e:
              # Name objects should represent irregular characters
              # with a '#' followed by the symbol's hex number
              try:
                  return NameObject(name.decode('gbk'))
              except (UnicodeEncodeError, UnicodeDecodeError) as e:
                  if not pdf.strict:
                      warnings.warn("Illegal character in Name Object", utils.PdfReadWarning)
                      return NameObject(name)
                  else:
                      raise utils.PdfReadError("Illegal character in Name Object")

• 接着，修改utils.py文件中的第238行。utils.py文件中的第238行原始内容如下所示：

  r = s.encode('latin-1')
  if len(s) < 2:
      bc[s] = r
  return r

• 需要将上述原始内容，修改为如下内容：

  try:
      r = s.encode('latin-1')
  except Exception as e:
      r = s.encode('utf-8')
  if len(s) < 2:
      bc[s] = r
  return r

然后重启就好啦！哈哈哈哈
