This Python script merges all PDF files in the current directory into a single PDF file named "merged.pdf" using the PyPDF2 library. It iterates through the PDF files, appends their content to a PdfWriter object, writes the merged content to a new file, and then closes the PdfWriter object.

## Project Overview
The Python script demonstrates how to merge multiple PDF files found in the current directory into a single PDF document using the PyPDF2 library.
The script begins by creating a PdfWriter object named `merger` from the PyPDF2 library. It then identifies all PDF files in the current directory by filtering files with the ".pdf" extension using `os.listdir()`. Each PDF file is sequentially added to the `merger` object using the `append()` method. Once all PDFs are appended, the combined content is written to a new PDF file named "merged.pdf" using the `write()` method. Finally, the `merger` object is closed to release resources.

## Installation
This project requires Python 3.12.1 or later.
To set up the project:
1. Ensure Python 3.12.1 or a later version is installed on your system. You can download Python from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
2. Clone or download the repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/jaiswalchitransh/Merge-pdf-files-using-PyPDF2.git

4. Open the project in your preferred Python environment (e.g., IDE or terminal).
5. Install PyPDF2 library using pip:

pip install PyPDF2

6. Run the script (`merger.py`) and observe the output.

## Usage
Run the script:

python merger.py

After execution, a file named "merged.pdf" will be created in the same directory containing the merged PDF content.

## Features
- **Simple Interface**: Combines PDF files with minimal configuration.
- **Automatic File Detection**: Identifies and merges all PDF files in the current directory.
- **Efficient Resource Management**: Properly closes resources after merging.

## Contribution
I, **[Chitransh Jaiswal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaiswalchitransh/)** developed this Project Individually. I was responsible for all aspects of the project, including design, development, testing, and documentation.
