jn-pdf v1.0.14

jn-pdf

A command-line utility that scans files in the current directory, sorts them by name, and merges all images into a single PDF file named after the directory.

Installation

You can install jn-pdf globally using npm:

npm i jn-pdf -g

Usage

After installing globally, you can use jn-pdf in any directory containing image files. Navigate to the directory you want to convert and run:

jn-pdf

This will create a PDF file named after the current directory, containing all images sorted by name.

Windows Explorer Integration (Optional)

You can add a context menu option in Windows File Explorer to use jn-pdf directly from the right-click menu.

1. Create a batch script jn-pdf.bat:

   @echo off
   cd /d %1
   jn-pdf

2. Save the batch script in a directory included in your system's PATH.

3. Add the following registry entries:

   • Open the Registry Editor (regedit).
   • Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell.
   • Create a new key named jn-pdf.
   • Set the (Default) value to Merge Images to PDF.
   • Under jn-pdf, create a key named command.
   • Set the (Default) value of command to "C:\path\to\jn-pdf.bat" "%V".

Once set up, you can right-click in any folder and select "Merge Images to PDF" to run jn-pdf.

Dependencies

• pdf-lib for creating PDF files.
• glob for pattern matching to find image files.
