[Feature Request] Merge multiple jpegs into pdf

Open GeorgeFkd opened this issue 9 months ago • 6 comments

It would be nice if convertx could merge multiple jpegs into a single pdf.

If this is a desired feature and fits within the vision and the architecture of the project i can work on it.

Yes it is definitely a desired feature! Would unfortunately be a bit hard to do since the converters process all files individually by default, so some special action is needed

Would it be better to create a second page called MergerX or should i just add a dropdown in the main page and have an option for merging files?

I think the simplest would be to create a file format like *.merged.pdf and do special logic for it

For pdf workflows in general I think it is better to use something like https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF

It seems like pdf in general is a format that requires more specialised tooling and Stirling seems like it is one. Thank you for the recommendation.

If this is is a one-off feature yes, if merging is something that is desired for more formats then some more work is required.
