pdfrw的作者Patrick Maupin在另一个question中提供了一个更简单、更不复杂的答案。（感谢他对我之前的回答的赞美之词。）他还提到，在使用pdfrw提取之前，将matplotlib数据保存到多页PDF中，可以通过减少重复资源来减少最终reportlab PDF的大小。因此，这里是他的代码示例的修改，它演示了如何通过首先写入多页matplotlib PDF来减小PDF文件大小。对于此示例，文件大小减少了约80%。

由于matplotlib的PdfPages只接受文件路径作为输入，因此PdfImageCache对象将多页PDF写入临时文件。在记忆中做这件事会花费更多的工作。

没有一个，但我在自己使用MatPlotLib和ReportLab时所做的是生成PNG，然后嵌入PNG，这样我就不需要使用PIL。但是，如果您使用PIL，我相信您应该能够使用MatPlotLib和ReportLab生成和嵌入EPS。

Python 3的解决方案，并将matplotlib图形嵌入为矢量图像（无光栅化）

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from io import BytesIO
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF
from svglib.svglib import svg2rlg

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(4, 3))
plt.plot([1,2,3,4])
plt.ylabel('some numbers')

imgdata = BytesIO()
fig.savefig(imgdata, format='svg')
imgdata.seek(0)  # rewind the data

drawing=svg2rlg(imgdata)

c = canvas.Canvas('test2.pdf')
renderPDF.draw(drawing,c, 10, 40)
c.drawString(10, 300, "So nice it works")
c.showPage()
c.save()

svglib可从Conda-Forge获得。

我创建了一个示例Flowable，用于ReportLab的商业RML模板语言。这里的示例非常有用，但需要稍微调整一下才能作为RML plugInFlow元素工作。
GitHub上有一个工作示例。
下面是Flowable本身：

class SvgFlowable(Flowable):
    """Convert byte stream containing SVG into a Reportlab Flowable."""

    def __init__(self, svg: BytesIO) -> None:
        """Convert SVG to RML drawing on initializtion."""
        svg.seek(0)
        self.drawing: Drawing = svg2rlg(svg)
        self.width: int = self.drawing.minWidth()
        self.height: int = self.drawing.height
        self.drawing.setProperties({"vAlign": "CENTER", "hAlign": "CENTER"})

    def wrap(self, *_args):
        """Return diagram size."""
        return (self.width, self.height)

    def draw(self) -> None:
        """Render the chart."""
        renderPDF.draw(self.drawing, self.canv, 0, 0)
