setuptools (it's used as a package locator but importlib.metadata in
newer Python core or the external importlib_metadata are preferred).
So drop the RDEP in that case (it's still kept for py27) and bump
revisions.
WeasyPrint is a smart solution helping web developers to create PDF
documents. It turns simple HTML pages into gorgeous statistical
reports, invoices, tickets..
From a technical point of view, WeasyPrint is a visual rendering engine
for HTML and CSS that can export to PDF. It aims to support web
standards for printing.
It is based on various libraries but not on a full rendering engine
like WebKit or Gecko. The CSS layout engine is written in Python,
designed for pagination, and meant to be easy to hack on.

OCRmyPDF adds an OCR text layer to scanned PDF files, allowing them to
be searched or copy+pasted.
- Generates a searchable PDF/A file from a regular PDF
- Places OCR text accurately below the image to ease copy / paste
- Keeps the exact resolution of the original embedded images
- When possible, inserts OCR information as a "lossless" operation
without disrupting any other content
- Optimizes PDF images, often producing files smaller than the input file
- If requested, deskews and/or cleans the image before performing OCR
- Validates input and output files
- Distributes work across all available CPU cores
- Uses Tesseract OCR engine to recognize more than 100 languages
(use "pkg_info -Q tesseract" to locate language packs to install)
- Keeps your private data private
- Scales properly to handle files with thousands of pages
- Battle-tested on millions of PDFs
