Dear list members,
I have a directory that contains about a hundred subdirectories named
J0001,J0002,J0003 . . . etc.
Each of these subdirectories contains about a hundred JPEGs named
P001.jpg, P002.jpg, P003.jpg etc.
I need to write a python script that will cycle thru each directory and
convert ALL JPEGs in each directory into a single PDF file and save
these PDF files (one per directory) to an output file.
Any pointers on how to do this with a Python script would be
appreciated. Reading on the internet it appears that using ImageMagick
wouldn't work because of using too much memory. Can this be done using
the Python Image Library or some other library? Any sample code would
also be appreciated.
The usual go-to library for PDF generation is ReportLab. I haven't used
it for a long while but I'm quite certain it would have no problem
including images.
Do I take it that it's the PDF-generation side of things you're asking
about? Or do you need help iterating over hundreds of directories and files?
TJG
Its mostly the PDF generating side I need but I haven't yet used the Python
directory and file traversing functions so an example of this would also be
useful especially showing how I could capture the directory name and use that
as the name of the pdf file I'm creating from the directory contents.
Thanks again,
Harry
I'm sorry that I can't help with your problem, but would you please read
