convert2pdf's Introduction

Convert2PDF

A Python3 application that converts multiple Office files into their PDF versions automatically.

Convert2PDF takes in a file type as input and exports all matching file extensions for that Office format (such as, a word document may have the extension .doc or .docx) and saves them in a separate directory, thus saving you the hassle of converting them all manually or looking for online converters. Made during the COVID-19 outbreak to kill Quarantine Boredom :P

Since comtypes primarily supports Windows, Convert2PDF will not work on other platforms :(

Getting Started

Convert2PDF requires comtypes and img2pdf to be installed. This can be done using a simple pip command.

pip install -r requirements.txt

That's it. You're good to go!

How to use Convert2PDF

To convert all files in a directory

You can convert all files in a directory using python Convert2PDF.py or python Convert2PDF.py -f *

To convert specific formats

You can also explicitly mention which files you would like to convert. To specify a particular type, pass in the respective format paramter as a command line argument.

convert2pdf's Issues

Addition of more File Types

There are other file types as well that can be converted into PDFs, for example - images. It would be great to include these functionalities to the application!

Linux Compatibility

It'd be great if support could be added for Linux based OS too! Since comtypes is only for Windows it would be amazing to find a workaround.

GUI

It would be great to add a simple GUI for this application, maybe using Flask.
