I did a bit of searching and found 
http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/features.html, which on pypi is described as:-

<quote>
A top notch PDF library for PDF rendering, conversion, content 
extraction, etc

PDFNet SDK is an amazingly comprehensive, high-quality PDF developer 
toolkit for working with PDF files at all levels. Using the PDFNet PDF 
library, developers can create powerful PDF solutions and applications 
that can generate, manipulate, view, render and print PDF documents on 
Windows, Mac, and Linux.

There's also https://bitbucket.org/vasudevram/xtopdf which states it's a

<quote>
This package (xtopdf) contains tools to convert various file formats 
(collectively called x) to PDF format.
</quote>

Vasudev Ram I know does a lot of work with PDF so a further search 
throws up articles on using his code, including some recipes on Activestate.

Note I've used none of these myself, I just HTH.
