Read a list of image filenames, reduce the quality to a specified level and create a PDF file as output with each image on its own page. This can be used to package a list of scanned images in a single file.
Requirements: Python, PIL, Reportlab.
History: I was trying to submit an exam for an online course, and I wanted to package the images of the pages for my solutions which I had acquired with my digital camera, and I could not find a single free software program that did this properly. I got really frustrated, given how simple this seemed to be, so I wrote this very simple script to solve my problem. The PDF community is still living the 1980s with its shareware and bad commercial software that only runs on Windows, it's quite frustrating, but thanks to great tools like Reportlab and PDFtk, there is a way out for those with a bit of patience and skill. I hope you enjoy this FREE software, the result of a few hours of hacking on a saturday afternoon [2009-08-01]. Please feel FREE to modify this program to your heart's content. If you make changes which you think others could benefit from, please send me a patch and I'll integrate it in here with your name.
