ScreenShot2PDF

Take screenshots and put them in a pdf file

Why should I use this?

This makes screenshotting en masse much easier. If you want to save your teacher's slides/ presentation for later you can simply use this to get everything you need in a compact (maybe even searchable) PDF format.

How to use this?

Install python and all packages from requirements.txt (pip install -r requirements.txt in the directory with requirements.txt). Configure main.py (namely the global variables TRY_TO_OCR, IMAGE_PATH, PEDOFILE_PATH, KEYS) and run. While main.py is running you can take a screenshot by pressing every key in KEYS (i and o by default). The screenshots will be saved in IMAGE_PATH as IMAGE_PATH\{index}.png while the PDF file will be saved as PEDOFILE_PATH (make sure this path ends in .pdf).

OCR

If you want to use ocr install this first and then set TRY_TO_OCR to True.

I want to crop a part of my screenshots out

Run main from to_pdf.py with

• output_path as the location you want your pdf to be
• glob_path as the location of your screenshot folder (same as your IMAGE_PATH in main.py)
• func as lambda x: x.crop((?, ?, ?, ?)) with actual numbers instead of ? (this is in the to_pdf.py file as an example)

I accidentally screenshotted something I don't want to put in a PDF

Simply delete the image from the IMAGE_PATH directory and run to_pdf.py with

• output_path as the location you want your pdf to be
• glob_path as the location of your screenshot folder (same as your IMAGE_PATH in main.py)

The window is annoying and I don't want to see it

Either minimize the window or rename main.py to main.pyw but this will make it harder to close.
