images2pdf.py

Merge a set of images into a single PDF document.

So my sister gave me 48 screencaps from her iPad in PNG format. I wanted to view them in the Kindle iPhone app, so I wrote this script to stitch all the PNGs together into a single 48-page PDF document. This should actually work with other image formats (assuming they are supported by the PIL/Pillow).

Requirements

• Pillow - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/2.8.2
• PyPDF2 - http://pythonhosted.org/PyPDF2/

Usage

$ images2pdf.py image_dir pdf_file

• image_dir is the directory containing the images you want to add to the PDF
• pdf_file is the PDF path that you want to add images to

TODO

• rescale or resize the images so that the pages in the output PDF are easier to view on the iPhone
• add an option to rotate the images
