Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

Node.js (version 12.x or later recommended) npm (usually comes with Node.js)

Installation

To set up the application on your local machine, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

  git clone https://github.com/naturuplift/ConvertTIFFtoPDF
  cd your-repository-directory

2. Install the necessary Node.js packages:

  npm install

This command installs all dependencies defined in package.json, including pdf-lib and sharp for PDF manipulation and image processing.

Usage

To convert TIFF files to PDF and merge them into a single document, follow these steps:

1. Place your TIFF files in the assets directory. Ensure they are named sequentially (e.g., "File 1.tif", "File 2.tif", etc.).

2. Run the application:

  node app.js

Replace app.js with the actual entry point of your application if different.

3. The application will convert each TIFF file to a PDF, then merge all resulting PDFs into a single file named merged.pdf in the assets directory.

Customizing File Paths

To customize the input or output file paths, edit the convertTiffToPdf function in your script, modifying the tiffPath and pdfPath variables as needed.
