Python Script for Batch Splitting PDFs and Converting to Images

Python can be used to batch process PDF files in a specified directory, split each PDF into individual pages, convert those pages to JPEG images, and store the images in newly created subfolders.

Example code:

import os
from pdf2image import convert_from_path

# Specify PDF folder path
pdf_folder = '/PDG_path/'

# Iterate over PDF files
for pdf_file in os.listdir(pdf_folder):
    if pdf_file.endswith('.pdf'):
        # Get PDF filename without extension
        pdf_filename = os.path.splitext(pdf_file)[0]

        # Generate new folder path
        new_pdf_folder = '/new_pdf_folder/'
        new_folder = os.path.join(new_pdf_folder, pdf_filename)
        os.makedirs(new_folder, exist_ok=True)

        # Convert PDF to images and save
        images = convert_from_path(os.path.join(pdf_folder, pdf_file))
        for i, image in enumerate(images):
            image.save(os.path.join(new_folder, f'{pdf_filename}_{i + 1}.jpg'), 'JPEG')

The script provides a simple, practical tool that can be adapted for personal use, encouraging daily learning and progress.
