## List of Scripts

1. [PDF Merger](./pdf_merger/README.md) - A Python script that merges multiple PDF files into one. Useful for combining documents easily.


# PDF Merger

## Overview

The **PDF Merger** is a Python script that allows you to merge multiple PDF files into a single file. It uses the `PyPDF2` library to handle PDF manipulation and provides an easy-to-use command-line interface to input the desired PDF files and specify the output location.

## How to Use

1. Clone the repository or download the script.
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/python-scripts-repo

  1. Navigate to the pdf_merger folder.

    cd pdf_merger

  2. Install the required dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Run the script:

    python pdf_merger.py

  4. The script will prompt you to enter the path to each PDF file you want to merge. After entering all PDF files, type done to proceed.

  5. Specify the output directory and output filename for the merged PDF. The merged file will be saved at the location you specify.

Example

Enter the path of a PDF file to merge (or type 'done' to finish): /path/to/file1.pdf
Enter the path of a PDF file to merge (or type 'done' to finish): /path/to/file2.pdf
Enter the path of a PDF file to merge (or type 'done' to finish): done
Enter the output directory (leave empty for current directory): /path/to/output/
Enter the output filename (e.g., merged.pdf): merged.pdf

The merged PDF will be saved as /path/to/output/merged.pdf.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.x
  • PyPDF2 library

Install the prerequisites by running:

pip install PyPDF2

Additional Features

  • Custom PDF order: The script allows you to specify the order of the PDF files to merge.
  • Error Handling: Handles invalid file inputs and provides meaningful error messages.
  • Output location: You can specify the directory and filename for the merged PDF output.
