Version 1.0.1
This simple program is written in python 3 with the GTK3 Library. Drag'n drop files (png, jpg, etc) onto the list and convert these files into one PDF with a simple click
- python 3.x
- image-magick
- ghostscript (gs)
- Download the PDFMaker*.tar contained in the "build" folder
- Unpack it and run the command sudo ./install.sh in the unpacked folder.
- Install just copies a desktop file and some python scripts to /usr/local/sbin/PDFMaker
- You can now remove the unpacked files in your current download directory.
Can only convert files that image-magick or ghostscript support. So either only image files, or only PDFs files. Not mixed.
###Merging PDFs Since merging PDFs is a close thing to merging pictures, a seconds API is using "ghostscript" to join pdfs. Note that you can't merge pdfs and images with goods results.
ImageMagick not authorized to convert PDF to an image. Change in /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml this line:
<!-- <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="{PS,PS2,PS3,EPS,PDF,XPS}" /> -->
Tested with
- Nemo (Cinnamon)
- Files(former Nautilus Gnome)
- Thunar (XFCE)
- PcManFm Browser (LXDE) so far
