pdf-cutter

Pdf file cutter for slides where 2 pages are in one of the file

This program converts pdf like this:

pdf with two slides on page

To this: pdf with one slide for page

Installation

With the project cloned in a local directory:

pip install .  

Usage

pdf-cutter file1.pdf [file2.pdf ...] [-q N]

This program allows you to convert more than one pdf file at execution. The result pdfs are stored on the folder result/ with the same name than the original file. All the images used in the conversion are stored at the folder images/ and this folder and all its content is deleted at the end of the execution.

Quality option

The -q / --quality argument allows you to increase the resolution of the output, by default is 1. Its range goes from 1 to 3.

quality = 1 | original_size * 1.2

quality=1

quality = 2 | original_size * 3.2

quality=2

quality = 3 | original_size * 5.6

quality=3

/!\ Attention: In some cases the lowest quality can generate problems with the detection of the borders when having images on the corners of the slide. This can be resolved increasing the quality of the images.
