# 📑 pdf-overlay

This small tool merges a stationary pdf ontop of the first page of a content-pdf. It has been built to combine content files with a letterhead. This enables you to update the letterhead of files much faster.

## Usage

### ⚙️ Installation

On Windows systems download the pdf-overlay.exe into a folder. The folder structure should now look something like this:

```

working_dir/

├── Briefkopf/

│   └── Briefkopf.pdf

├── Dokumente/

│   ├── Input_PDF_1.pdf

│   └── Input_PDF_2.pdf

├── PDF/

└── pdf-overlay.exe

```

Things you need to know:

1. `./Briefkopf/Briefkopf.pdf` is a fixed name. You should not rename this.

2. `./Dokumente` is a fixed folder name. It should not be changed. Within this folder all subdirectories and PDFs are processed.

3. `.PDF` and neccesary subdirectories are automatically created if they do not exist when the program is run. Existing PDFs will be overwritten.

### 🧪 DEV

The following is only needed if you are developing...

```sh

# Only needed on Apple/arm_64 architecture as pymupdf does not have a corresponding wheel and will build using swig

brew install swig

# install (and build) PyMuPDF

pip3 install pymupdf

```

### Edit configuration within main.py

### Run Script

`python3  main.py`
