A script to build a PDF from a list of source files and a description.txt. This is useful for Doug Ferguson's classes at Johns Hopkins as he requires code to be submitted in PDF format. Feel free to fork and submit pull requests for any features you would like to see added.

For the format to be nice, make sure you indent with spaces and not tabs.

pip install reportlab

python code2pdf.py [path/to/config.json]

Script expects a config file config.json in the current directory, or one can be passed as the first argument. It makes the most sense to just have config.json and description.txt in the root of your project folder, and run the script from there.

• A list of files in the order you want them to appear

• The path to a text file containing your description / design

• A heading to put your name, class, and date (date will be auto replaced)
