image2pdf

Generate a pdf from all the images present inside a directory.

The script requires imagemagick package to be installed in the Linux system.

Steps to install imagemagick:

• run sudo apt install imagemagick
• or one can refer to how-to-install-imagemagick-on-ubuntu

Usage:

1. Clone the folder onto your system
2. Add images (jpgor png or jpeg) to be combined into the folder. (Note: the pages in the final pdf are ordered based on the images sorted by their names)
3. Optional: Update the image names as per your preferred order in the output pdf (example: naming the images as 1.jpeg,2.jpeg will result in 1.jpeg as the first page and 2.jpeg as the second page in the pdf)
4. Execute the shell script
5. Delete the existing images. Add new images to the folder, and repeat the process for generating a new pdf.

Example:

./image2pdf.sh final will generate a final.pdf in the directory

This folder can be used for quickly generating pdf for submissions (such as assignment submissions) from individual images of handwritten pages. Since captured images from devices such as mobile phones are named automatically in serial order, one can directly dump the images into the folder and generate the final pdf for submission.
