A python script that copies PDF files from a source directory into a destination directory and extracts pages as PNG images and fulltext.
The script is very barebones at the moment but functional.
python ./organizepdfs.py ~/source ~/destination
The source directory contains the PDF files you want to move. The destination directory should look like this:
.
|-- /images
|-- /pdfs
|-- /text
The original PDFs will be copied to the /pdfs directory. Each page of a PDF will be converted into a small 500px width PNG image and saved to the /images directory with the page number appended to the file name. The fulltext will also be extracted and saved as .txt files in /text.
There are several dependencies including:
GraphicsMagick:
[aptitude | port | brew] install graphicsmagick
Ghostscript:
[aptitude | port | brew] install ghostscript
