I recently developed a Python-based automation tool that seamlessly captures multiple screenshots of a scrolling page and converts them into a single PDF document. This project leverages PyAutoGUI, FPDF, and Tkinter to create an efficient, user-friendly experience.
πΉ Key Features: β Automated Screenshot Capture β Users can specify the number of screenshots they need, and the tool captures them one by one. β Smart Scrolling Mechanism β The program attempts different scrolling methods to ensure smooth capture. β Instant PDF Conversion β All screenshots are compiled into an A4-sized PDF for easy storage and sharing. β User-Friendly Interface β A Tkinter-based GUI allows users to interact effortlessly. β Custom PDF Naming & Folder Organization β The tool creates a dedicated folder and saves the PDF with a user-defined name.
π‘ How It Works: 1οΈβ£ Enter the number of pages (screenshots) required. 2οΈβ£ Provide a name for the final PDF file. 3οΈβ£ Switch to the desired window (e.g., an article, chat, or document). 4οΈβ£ The tool captures screenshots, scrolls automatically, and saves them. 5οΈβ£ Finally, all images are converted into a single PDF!
π§ Tech Stack: π₯οΈ Python | | π OS & File Handling
This project is extremely useful for capturing long-form content such as articles, e-books, chat histories, and web pages without manual effort. π
π Looking forward to feedback and suggestions! Also, open to discussing potential enhancements like OCR for searchable PDFs or adding cloud storage integration.
Would love to hear your thoughts! ππ¨βπ»
