ImagesToPdf

ImagesToPdf is a Python script combined with a shell script to convert images to a PDF and recover corrupted PDFs.

Features

• Convert Images to PDF: Converts .webp, .jpeg, and .jpg images in a specified directory into a single PDF file.
• Recover Corrupted PDF: Merges a potentially corrupted PDF with a valid PDF to recover the contents using Ghostscript.

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Pillow library
• ghostscript (for PDF recovery)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ImagesToPdf.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd ImagesToPdf
   

Install the required Python dependencies:

    pip install pillow

Install Ghostscript for PDF recovery:

• On Ubuntu/Debian:

    sudo apt-get install ghostscript
  

• On macOS:

    brew install ghostscript
  

Usage:

Convert Images to PDF

1. Edit the directory_path in imageToPdf.py to specify the directory containing your images.

2. Run the Python script to convert images to a PDF:

    python imageToPdf.py
   

This will generate images1.pdf in the specified directory.

Recover Corrupted PDF

1. Ensure you have images.pdf (the potentially corrupted PDF) in the same directory.

2. Run the shell script to recover the corrupted PDF:

    bash join.sh
   

This will create output.pdf, which attempts to recover the contents from images.pdf and creates new file as recovered.pdf.

Example

To convert images in the Documents directory:

python imageToPdf.py

To recover a corrupted PDF:

bash join.sh
