Method Details

init(self, infile_name, outfile_name=None, layout='2x1', format='A4', flip=TwoSidedFlip.SHORT_EDGE, copy_pages=False, overwrite_outfile_callback=None)
(Constructor)

source code

Create a FileConverter.

Parameters:

infile_name - The name to the input PDF file.
outfile_name - The name of the file where the output PDF should de written. If ommited, defaults to the name of the input PDF postponded by '-conv'.
layout - The layout of input pages on one output page (see set_layout).
format - The format of the output paper (see set_output_format).
copy_pages - Wether the same group of input pages shoud be copied to fill the corresponding output page or not (see set_copy_pages).
overwrite_outfile_callback - A callback function which is called if outfile_name already exists when trying to open it. Its signature must be : take a string for the outfile_name as an argument;

return False not to overwrite the file. If ommited, existing file would be overwritten without confirmation.

Overrides: AbstractConverter.__init__
