Interest in a GUI front-end for PyPDF2? #415

Closed teschmitt closed 2 years ago

teschmitt commented 6 years ago

Hey everybody, I've started developing a GUI front-end for PyPDF2 that tries to clone the excellent PDFTK Builder. PDFTK Builder only runs on Windows, my goal is to make it a cross-platform effort and eventually ship it via pyInstaller or the like.

Right now only merging of PDFs is implemented, but I'm planning to mirror all features of the original using PyPDF2. So far, I'm optimistic!

Is there any interest in the community for a project like this? Any comments or ideas? PRs?

EDIT: I should maybe leave a link to the repo here: https://github.com/mrgnth/PyPDF-Builder

Would you like to move that to the py-pdf organization?

Sure, I'd be happy to! I have to admit I created this project when I was first starting out with Python and programming in general. I haven't looked at the code in ages so I assume there are major issues to be found (missing features & no testing, for starters) but I see PyPDF2 is making a miraculous comeback and I'd love to contribute.
