software OS4   software OS4 : PdfToolkit 1.0 released on OS4Depot
   posted by Lazi on 22-Jul-2012 11:09:18 (2610 reads)
A PDF document handling toolkit implemented in python is released.

PDFToolkit allows to reorganize PDF files.
It can split and merge documents.
Additionally it can combine two or three PDF files by stamping over or add header/footer/page numbering to existed documents keeping the contents intact.

It uses pyPDF python module by Mathieu Fenniak.
If you are online, it can download and install that module automatically.

This should be interesting. I always got some trouble with python tools and never got to the bottom of it.

I don't know what tool you mention, but this is not a port. It is created on OS4 for OS4 in python.

@Lazi
well done ! I really appreciate this one ! Functionality wise this is what I would need on top of that:

Doc1.pdf #1 => resultingdoc.pdf #1
Doc2.pdf #1 => resultingdoc.pdf #2
Doc1.pdf #2 => resultingdoc.pdf #3
Doc2.pdf #2 => resultingdoc.pdf #4
Doc1.pdf #3 => resultingdoc.pdf #5
....

Can Phyton handle a proper GUI ? Can this also be command line driven, I could then do a GUI....

regards Gero

@gerograph

Sadly python can't handle nativ gui. AFAIK it can parse command line arguments, so it is possible to make it work as a command line tool.

If I understand well, you need that multiple pdfs are merged by all first pages then all second pages and so on. It is no problem then for the next version.

Watch this space, I'm working on something ... eta unknown at the moment....


In the meantime you could use blender to create a GUI for any python script, see my pdfmake example on os4depot. linky

or even embed python in a program with a GUI (a far bit of C coding knowledge requied ) and possibly overkill in this case.

I have made a quick and dirty MorphOS port (screenshot), using Yomgui's Python port and PyMUI. Mostly untested. Grab it here.

This was the first time I hacked into a Python code, so expect bugs. I'll cooperate with Lazi, to have a version which works on both OS4 and MorphOS, if he's interested. (My version kept the OS4 code, but I didn't tested it after my changes.)

Nice work Charlie!

It crashes badly on OS4.
You made two goals with one attempt. :)

I'll see what can we do ASAP.
