Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

easy-pdf-merge

easy-pdf-merge is a node module to merge multiple PDFs into a single PDF easily. This module uses Apache PDFBox Library 2.0.1. No special softwares are required for the module to run. But Java 6 or higher must be present.

Currently only callback style is supported. That is only Async functions are supported.

Usage :

var merge = require('easy-pdf-merge');

merge(source_files,dest_file_path,function(err){

        if(err)
        return console.log(err);

        console.log('Success');

});

source_files must be an array of file paths, with two or more file paths, or the module throws an error accordingly. dest_file path is the destination path for the merged PDF to be saved.

For all files, it is recommended to give absolute paths to avoid possible path based problems in your code. Or, give paths relative to process.cwd(); , which is the current working directory of the process. But be careful when giving relative paths, to avoid bugs.

Example

Using relative file paths

merge(['File One.pdf','File Two.pdf'],'File Ouput.pdf',function(err){

        if(err)
        return console.log(err);

        console.log('Successfully merged!');

});

Using absolute file paths

merge(['/home/karuppiah/File One.pdf','/home/karuppiah/File Two.pdf'],'/home/karuppiah/Desktop/File Ouput.pdf',function(err){

        if(err)
        return console.log(err);

        console.log('Successfully merged!');

});

An App based on easy-pdf-merge!

PDF Merger is a cross platform Desktop App being developed using Electron Framework and easy-pdf-merge module. You can find the source code of the App here.

Coming Soon :

  1. Module will check if source files exist and return appropriate error.
  2. Merge PDFs showing the progess percentage - useful while there are lots of PDFs to be merged. But this feature would mean that - callback will be called more than once. But there will be status codes to ensure the end of calling callbacks.

Reporting Issues and Feature Requests

For reporting issues and for feature requests, go to the github issues page of the module
