Node Image To PDF Script

This is a simple script that scans a folder and prompts the user to select which images to convert into a single PDF file. It uses the pdfkit, prompts and fs modules to accomplish this.

On Mac OS you can use Automator to create a service that will do the job. However, this script is useful for those who are not on Mac OS, or for those who want to automate the process using a script. Moreover, this script can be used as a starting point for more complex image to PDF conversion tasks.

I envision this script to be the starting point for a simple drag and drop image to PDF converter.

Getting Started

clone the repository and run the script with the following command:

npm run conv

By default the script will scan the parent folder. You can change the folder to scan by modifying the saveTo variable in the package.json file.

{ 
  "entryPoint": "..",        // .. = parent folder // "." = current folder
  "output": "output",       // output folder
  "extension": ".HEIC",    // file extension to scan
  "saveTo": "original",   // folder to save the original images
}
