pdfstitcher 0.5.1

The open source PDF stitching software for sewists, by sewists.

PDFStitcher

PDFSticher is a utility for stitching together many PDF pages from one document into a single page. This is also called "N-Up" or page imposition. This program was created in order to convert sewing patterns into a convenient format for projecting, though it could be used to stitch together any PDF.

Since version 0.4, it is also possible to select layers for inclusion/exclusion in the final output. Additionally, line properties can be modified for each layer if the input PDF is compatible.

Development Installation

Most people probably want to just use the executable links above. However, if you intend to run the program from source, you'll need the following:

• Python 3.6-3.9 and pip. Python 3.10+ may work, but as of February 2022 there is no wheel for wxPython for 3.10.

• pikepdf can be installed by running pip install pikepdf Note: For macOS less than 10.15, pikepdf v2.8.0 is the latest supported version. Specify with pip install pikepdf==2.8.0 or build it from source if you're feeling adventurous.

• wxPython 4.1+ can be installed by running pip install wxpython Note: For Linux, the installtion of wxPython can be tricky if your distribution does not provide a recent enough version. I recommend checking out the instructions here.
