Using python to convert PNG's into PDF's

Reportlab is one of the good tools for generating pdfs. If you can use it for your purposes, it is better to stick with it. For installation on MAC, I see that darwinports have a port for Reportlab called py-reportlab. Follow the instructions to install it using portage, it will install the dependencies by itself.

PyCairo could be a good alternative. You'll have full control and less dependencies, but reportlab is a lot simplier.

Why anyone hasn't tried this??

If you are not much concern about the quality, try the following solution.

import PIL.Image

filepath = "temp.png"
newfilename = 'our.pdf'


im = PIL.Image.open(filepath)

im.save(newfilename, "PDF", quality=100)

from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.lib.utils import ImageReader
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas

def convert_png_to_pdf(png_folder, output_pdf_path):
    c = canvas.Canvas(output_pdf_path, pagesize=letter)

    # Get a list of all PNG files in the folder
    png_files = [f for f in os.listdir(png_folder) if f.endswith('.png')]

    for png_file in png_files:
        png_path = os.path.join(png_folder, png_file)

        # Open the PNG image using Pillow
        image = ImageReader(png_path)

        # Add the image to the PDF canvas
        c.setPageSize((image.getSize()[0], image.getSize()[1]))
        c.drawImage(image, 0, 0)

        # Create a new page
        c.showPage()

    # Save the resulting PDF file
    c.save()

    print(f'PDF file created successfully: {output_pdf_path}')

# Provide the folder path containing the PNG files
png_folder_path = r"C:\Insert\File\Path\Here"

# Provide the output PDF file path
output_pdf_path = r"C:\Output\Path\Location\Here\file.pdf"

# Call the function to convert PNG to PDF
convert_png_to_pdf(png_folder_path, output_pdf_path)
