Python img2pdf Shell Batch Processing Script to Convert All Images in Sub Folders to PDF Documents

Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be converting all images in root and sub folders to pdf document using a simple shell batch processing script using the python library img2pdf.

Get Started

In order to get started guys you need to install the below libraryusing the pip command as shown below

pip install img2pdf

After installing this you need to make a img2pdf.sh file inside the root directory and copy paste the following code

img2pdf.sh

#!/bin/bash
#set -xf
TOPDIR=$PWD
dirs=($(find . -type d))
for dir in "${dirs[@]}"; do
  echo $dir
  cd $dir
  #echo $PWD
  img2pdf --out $dir.pdf *.{jpg,png}
  cd $TOPDIR
done

#!/bin/bash

#set -xf

TOPDIR=$PWD

dirs=($(find . -type d))

for dir in "${dirs[@]}"; do

echo $dir

cd $dir

#echo $PWD

img2pdf --out $dir.pdf *.{jpg,png}

cd $TOPDIR

done

As you can see in the above shell script we are finding all the jpg and png images present inside the root directory and the sub directories and converting them to the pdf documents. If you now want to run this make sure you open the git bash terminal inside the visual studio code as shown below
