all image files contained in each folder merged by folder and save(creates) as a single PDf

[kang-youngjin]

This Python script Creates PDF file from List of Images.
I have a series of subfolders inside a Root Folder
My current problem is, save(creates) as a single PDf
I want to,

1. all image files contained in each folder merged by folder and save(creates) as a single PDf
2. the name of pdf files is by each folder name

Example

• Root Folder

  • Folder1
    • FileA.tif
    • FileB.tif
  • Folder2
    • FileC.tif

• Result Folder

  • Folder1.pdf (Contains FileA.tif and FileB.tif combined into one pdf)
  • Folder2.pdf (Contains FileC.tif as pdf)

Hey, thanks for reaching out.

Could you clarify how this would work with nested folders?

Also, feel free to open a PR.

Thanks

First of all, thank you for your interest.
Nested folders may not exist,
If the nested folder exists, when saving the image file of the folder to be inquired later as a PDF file, modify and save the existing folder name so that it does not overwrite it.
Example))



•Root Folder
o Folder1 - AAA
FileA.tif
FileB.gif
o Folder2 - BBB
FileC.tif
o Folder3 - SSS
FileD.tif
o Folder4 - AAA
FileE.tif
FileF.jpg

• Result Folder
o AAA.pdf (Contains FileA.tif and FileB.gif combined into one pdf)
o BBB.pdf (Contains FileC.tif as pdf)
o SSS.pdf (Contains FileD.tif as pdf)
o SSS-AAA.pdf (Contains FileE.tif and FileF.gif combined into one pdf)

Thanks

I think I understand what you mean, so for each folder, their pdf file will only contain what is in their directory and not include the subfolders. Each subfolder will have their own combined pdf.

[kang-youngjin]

Yes, that’s right.
The current source code saves(crreates) all the files in the current folder and subfolders as one PDF file.
Of course, this method is useful, too.

I need a different approach to improve the work I'm in charge of.
I've been looking at your sources and making revisions, but there's been no progress in the work.
It seems to be the limit of two months since I started Python.
