You can use the onFirstPage and onLaterPages keyword arguments to the DocTemplate.build function for this.

They are called during layout before the pages are drawn. You can pass any function with the following signature:

def myOnFirstPage(canvas, document):
    ...

def myOnLaterPages(canvas, document):
    ...

Use them with

doc = SimpleDocTemplate('file.pdf')
doc.build(story, onFirstPage=myOnFirstPage, onLaterPages=myOnLaterPages)
