### Create and read a PDF with oxidize-pdf

Source: https://oxidize-pdf-for-python.docs7.io/quickstart

Creates a PDF file named hello.pdf in the working directory, reopens it, and prints the page text. Uses PDF points (72 points per inch) with the origin at the bottom left. Extraction reads a text layer; this example does not perform OCR on scanned images.

```python
from oxidize_pdf import Document, Font, Page, PdfReader

document = Document()
page = Page.a4()
page.set_font(Font.HELVETICA, 18.0)
page.text_at(72.0, 750.0, "Hello from oxidize-pdf!")
document.add_page(page)
document.save("hello.pdf")

reader = PdfReader.open("hello.pdf")
for text in reader.extract_text():
    print(text)
```

### Handle oxidize-pdf errors explicitly

Source: https://oxidize-pdf-for-python.docs7.io/quickstart

Catches PdfIoError, PdfParseError, and PdfError when opening a PDF. Use this pattern for inputs supplied by a caller.

```python
from oxidize_pdf import PdfError, PdfIoError, PdfParseError, PdfReader

try:
    reader = PdfReader.open("missing.pdf")
except PdfIoError as error:
    print(f"Cannot read file: {error}")
except PdfParseError as error:
    print(f"Cannot parse PDF: {error}")
except PdfError as error:
    print(f"PDF operation failed: {error}")
```
