This Python package contains PDF Utilities to make common tasks a bit easier. Currently, it just contains fixes I need for the documents produced by my one-sided scanner, but I may add to it as time permits. Project author is David Askov (contact me via LinkedIn).

There is only one class you'll need to work with: pdf_utils.PDF. You can read all about it at the GitHub Pages documentation or by checking code out of GitHub and navigating to the docs folder.

Follow these steps to install pdf_utils into your Python environment:

• Look in the dist folder for a .whl file. If there is more than one, locate the newest by version number.

• Clone the Git repo or otherwise copy the .whl file to your hard drive.

• At the command prompt, type the following command:

  pip install /path/to/dist/pdf_utils-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl
  

  Notes:

  • If the pip command is not found, it is often located in the Scripts folder under your Python install.
  • The path is unnecessary if you run the pip command in the same directory as the .whl file.
  • Update the file name in the command above with your .whl file name, especially the version number.

• Test your setup:

   >>> from pdf_utils import PDF
   >>> pdf = PDF('./pages.pdf')
   >>> pdf.reverse(out_path='./reversed.pdf')
