• Organizes SVG images in a grid layout within a PDF.
• Includes the folder name as a subtitle for each set of images from a distinct folder.
• Displays the file name under each image.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Miniconda or Anaconda

Installation

1. Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine or download the source code.

   git clone [URL_TO_REPOSITORY]
   

2. Create Conda Environment: Navigate to the cloned directory and create a Conda environment using the provided environment.yml file.

   conda env create -f environment.yml
   

   This command will create a new environment named svgtopdf and install all the required dependencies.

3. Activate the Environment: Before running the script, activate the newly created Conda environment.

   conda activate svgtopdf
   

Usage

1. Prepare Your SVG Files: Place your SVG files in a directory. The script will process all SVG files in this directory and its subdirectories.

2. Run the Script: Use the following command to run the script. Replace [INPUT_DIRECTORY] with the path to your SVG files and [OUTPUT_FILENAME] with the desired output PDF file name.

   python svg_to_pdf.py [INPUT_DIRECTORY] [OUTPUT_FILENAME]
   

   Example:

   python svg_to_pdf.py ./svg_files output.pdf
   

3. View the PDF: After running the script, check the specified output location for the PDF file.
