I have seen solutions using PIL and ReportLab. Which of these two would be the better way to go. My Images are 1152 x 1565 at 150 dpi
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
import os
# page coordinates are in 1/72 nd of an inch
# width = 595 height = 841 ==> A4
# width = 553 height = 751 ==> Image size at 150 dpi
c = canvas.Canvas("sample.pdf")
os.chdir("Images")
for filename in os.listdir():
c.drawImage(filename, 0, 0, width=595, height=841)
c.showPage()
os.chdir("..")
c.save()
Or Using PIL I have done
from PIL import Image
import os
os.chdir("Images")
im_list =
for file in os.listdir():
img = Image.open(file)
im_list.append(img)
os.chdir("..")
img.save("image.pdf", "PDF", resolution=100.0, save_all=True, append_images=im_list)
I know the code above has a small issue with the last page being printed as page 1 as well (which I think I can fix), but other than that is there a preferred module for writing multiple images to multiple pages of a pdf?
Thank you
