PDF compress tool, using iLovePDF API
The application is compatible with Windows and Linux based systems. Python version 3.5 or above is assumed to be installed, as well as pip package manager utility and setuptools module. An updated version of the pylovepdf library is needed, which can be found here.
pip install pdfworkshopor
python setup.py installor
pip install -e ~/local_fork_repo_path/pdfworkshop -h| name | default | description |
|---|---|---|
| input_dir | ./ | Directory where PDF files will be collected from. |
| output_dir | ./output/ | Directory where the compressed PDF files will be stored. |
| public_key | "" | Your public API key. |
| suffix | _compressed | The suffix given to compressed files (before the extension). |
| recursive | False | Boolean indicating if input_dir must be scanned recursively. |
The public_key value must be defined before using the tool for the first time. The required public key can be obtained by creating a developer account on iLovePDF. Any value can be configured using:
pdfworkshop config <config_name> <new_config_value>- list-config - list tool configuration values
- config <option> <value> - edit tool configuration values
- run - compress all PDF files stored in input_dir, storing the result in output_dir
By default, the PDF files to compress should be on the directory from where the tool will be called. After using the run command, an output directory will be created, where all compressed files will be stored.
To exercise some of the available commands, one can try to:
- List the current configuration
pdfworkshop list-config- Define the API public_key value
pdfworkshop config public_key <new_public_key>- Run PDF compress tool
