Save pictures to PDF
Project description
Save pictures to PDF — from the command line, or from your Python programs.
As a command line tool
Usage:
usage: pictureshow [-h] [-v] [-q] [-f] [-m MARGIN] [-l] [-s] PIC [PIC ...] PDF
positional arguments:
PIC one or more input picture file paths
PDF output PDF file path
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
-q, --quiet suppress printing to stdout
-f, --force-overwrite
save output file even if filename exists
-m MARGIN, --margin MARGIN
width of empty margin on page; default is 72 points (1
inch)
-l, --landscape set page orientation to landscape; default is portrait
-s, --stretch-small scale small pictures up to fit drawing area
Simple example — saving a single picture to PDF:
$ pictureshow picture.png pic.pdf
Saved 1 picture to '/.../pic.pdf'
Using a glob pattern, in the quiet mode:
$ pictureshow -q *.jpg jpg_pics.pdf
Using multiple glob patterns, with margin width specified:
$ pictureshow -m 36 *.png *.jpg *.gif all_pics.pdf
Saved 32 pictures to '/.../all_pics.pdf'
Combining glob pattern and additional filenames, overwriting existing output file, stretching small pictures to page, with zero margin:
$ pictureshow chart.gif *.jpg graph.png pics.pdf -fsm 0
Saved 7 pictures to '/.../pics.pdf'
As a Python library
Using the PictureShow class:
from pictureshow import PictureShow
pic_show = PictureShow('pic1.png', 'pic2.jpg', 'pic3.gif')
pic_show.save_pdf('pictures.pdf')
Using the pictures_to_pdf shortcut function:
from pictureshow import pictures_to_pdf
pictures_to_pdf('pic1.png', 'pic2.jpg', 'pic3.gif', 'pictures.pdf')
It is however recommended to pass the output file name as a keyword argument:
from pictureshow import pictures_to_pdf
list_of_pictures = ['pic1.png', 'pic2.jpg', 'pic3.gif']
pictures_to_pdf(*list_of_pictures, pdf_file='pictures.pdf')
Using a glob pattern, sorted by name, with landscape page orientation and two-inch margin, stretching small pictures to area:
from pathlib import Path
from pictureshow import pictures_to_pdf
list_of_pictures = sorted(Path.cwd().glob('screenshots/*.png'))
pictures_to_pdf(
*list_of_pictures,
pdf_file='screenshots.pdf',
orientation='landscape',
margin=144,
stretch_small=True
)
