Fix PyPDF2 3.0+ compatibility issues in report_py3o

Add compatibility wrapper classes for PdfFileWriter/PdfFileReader
to support both PyPDF2 2.x and 3.x versions.

Changes:
- Add PyPDF2 compatibility classes in report_py3o/models/py3o_report.py
- Create comprehensive documentation in doc/PATCH_PDFWRITER.md
- Support for appendPagesFromReader method for PDF merging

Resolves PyPDF2.errors.DeprecationError: appendPagesFromReader is deprecated
and was removed in PyPDF2 3.0.0. Use append_pages_from_reader instead.

+# PyPDF2 Compatibility Patch - Report Py3o
+
+## Overview
+
+This patch addresses the PyPDF2 deprecation error in the report_py3o module when using PyPDF2 version 3.0.0 or higher. The original error was:
+
+```
+PyPDF2.errors.DeprecationError: appendPagesFromReader is deprecated and was removed in PyPDF2 3.0.0. Use append_pages_from_reader instead.
+```
+
+## Problem
+
+In PyPDF2 3.0.0, several classes and methods were deprecated and removed:
+- `PdfFileWriter` → `PdfWriter`
+- `PdfFileReader` → `PdfReader` 
+- `appendPagesFromReader()` → `append_pages_from_reader()`
+
+## Affected Functionality
+
+The report_py3o module uses PyPDF2 for:
+- Merging multiple PDF reports into single documents
+- PDF concatenation and page manipulation
+- LibreOffice/OpenOffice document conversion to PDF
+- Advanced report generation workflows
+
+## Solution
+
+This patch provides backward compatibility by creating wrapper classes that:
+1. Inherit from the new PyPDF2 classes (`PdfWriter`, `PdfReader`)
+2. Provide the old method signatures as compatibility methods
+3. Gracefully handle both old and new PyPDF2 versions
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### `report_py3o/models/py3o_report.py`
+- Added compatibility import logic
+- Created local compatibility classes with required method aliases:
+  - `PdfFileWriter.appendPagesFromReader()` → `PdfWriter.append_pages_from_reader()`
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Compatibility Import Pattern
+```python
+try:
+    from PyPDF2 import PdfWriter, PdfReader
+    
+    # Create compatibility classes for PyPDF2 3.0+
+    class PdfFileWriter(PdfWriter):
+        def appendPagesFromReader(self, reader, after_page_append=None):
+            return self.append_pages_from_reader(reader, after_page_append)
+    
+    class PdfFileReader(PdfReader):
+        pass
+
+except ImportError:
+    try:
+        from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter
+    except ImportError:
+        logger.debug("Cannot import PyPDF2")
+```
+
+## Usage Example
+
+The module allows generating and merging py3o reports:
+
+```python
+# Generate multiple reports
+reports_path = [report1.pdf, report2.pdf, report3.pdf]
+
+# Merge using appendPagesFromReader (now compatible)
+writer = PdfFileWriter()
+for path in reports_path:
+    reader = PdfFileReader(path)
+    writer.appendPagesFromReader(reader)
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The patch has been tested with:
+- PyPDF2 3.0.0+ (new API)
+- PyPDF2 2.x (old API via fallback)
+- PDF merge functionality
+- Multiple report concatenation
+- LibreOffice document conversion workflows
+
+## Branch Information
+
+- **Branch**: `pdfwrite`
+- **Based on**: Current master branch
+- **Type**: Compatibility patch
+- **Impact**: Backward compatible - no breaking changes
+
+## Author
+
+- **Developer**: Ernad Husremović (hernad@bring.out.ba)
+- **Company**: bring.out.doo Sarajevo
+- **Date**: 2025-09-02
+
+## Related Issues
+
+This patch resolves the PyPDF2 deprecation error encountered in:
+- Py3o report merging
+- Multi-document PDF generation
+- LibreOffice integration workflows
+
+## Installation
+
+This patch is automatically applied when using the `pdfwrite` branch. No additional installation steps required.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Compatible with py3o template engine
+- Works with LibreOffice/OpenOffice document conversion
+- Maintains existing py3o functionality
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+While this patch provides immediate compatibility, consider:
+1. Eventually migrating to the new PyPDF2 API directly
+2. Testing merge functionality with future PyPDF2 versions
+3. Evaluating performance impact of compatibility layer
