Introduction This project demonstrates how to merge multiple PDF files into a single PDF using Python.
Merging PDFs Merging PDFs is a common requirement in various fields, especially in document management. Using Python, this process becomes efficient and easy to automate.
Packages Used 1. PyPDF2: A library for working with PDF files, enabling tasks like merging, splitting, and reading PDFs. 2. os: A module providing functions to interact with the operating system, especially file handling.
Functions & Code Explanation The following code is used to merge PDFs: #merge the pdf from PyPDF2 import PdfWriter, PdfReader import os merger = PdfWriter() files = [file for file in os.listdir() if file.endswith('.pdf')] for pdf in files: merger.append(pdf) merger.write('merged_pdf.pdf') merger.close()
Demonstration When the above code is executed, it scans the current directory for all PDF files, merges them, and saves the result as 'merged_pdf.pdf'.
Conclusion This project showcases the ease of merging multiple PDFs using Python. The approach is efficient, requiring minimal code and providing significant utility in document management.
