Secure PDF Merger Using Python

Overview

This project provides a secure and efficient way to merge multiple PDF files into a single document using Python. By leveraging the PyPDF2 library, you can combine PDF files directly from your local system without relying on third-party tools, ensuring the security and privacy of your documents.

Features

Local PDF Merging: Merge multiple PDF files stored locally into a single PDF document.

Secure Processing: Avoid using online third-party services to maintain the confidentiality of your files.

Simple Integration: Easy to integrate into any Python project or use as a standalone script.

Cross-Platform: Works on any platform where Python and PyPDF2 are supported.

Prerequisites

-Python 3.x installed on your system.

-Required Python packages: PyPDF2.

Installation

Clone the Repository:

-git clone url

Install Required Python Packages:

-pip install PyPDF2

Usage

Place Your PDFs:

Put all the PDF files you want to merge into the pdf directory (or modify the path variable in the script to point to your PDF directory).

Run the Script:

-python merge_pdfs.py

Merged Output:

The script will combine all the PDFs in the specified directory and output a single merged PDF file named MergePdfFiles.pdf in the script's directory.
