Learning outcomes

This lesson uses Python to create a program with a GUI interface that can merge multiple PDF documents into a single PDF file. The main goal is to learn the basics of creating GUIs. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Design a GUI using proven design principles of user-friendliness
• Create a GUI using Qt Designer
• Implement a GUI within a Python script
• Build a distributable application version of your script

Abstract

In this lesson, you will use Qt Designer and Python to design and implement a simple graphical user interface and application to merge PDF files. This lesson also demonstrates how to package the application for distribution to other personal computers.
