Sidebar Notes PPT to PDF (简体中文 | English)

❤️ Convert PPT to PDF with sidebar notes area, high customization

Usage

• Double-click install.bat to install
• Double-click run.bat to start the program
• When you need to input the path, use the Windows file path copy function, for example "D:\School\PPT\DNA Replication.pptx". For other systems, the path should be written in a similar way, it must be an absolute path, and paste it into the program

Settings

• All configurations are in config.json. The configuration file and its explanations are as follows:

{  
    "double_page_printing": true, # Switch for double-sided printing optimization  
    "line_num": 32, # Number of horizontal lines in the notes area  
    "line_color": [ # Color of the horizontal lines in the notes area  
        0,  
        0,  
        0  
    ],  
    "line_thickness": 2, # Height of the horizontal lines in the notes area  
    "pages_in_page": 5, # Number of PPT pages contained in a single PDF page  
    "margin": [ # Margins of the PDF, in order of top, bottom, left, and right  
        1.5,  
        1.5,  
        1.3,  
        1.3  
    ],  
    "add_page_num": false # Switch for displaying page numbers (they may be covered if the margin is too small)  
}

Precautions

• ⚠ The Python script in theory can be used on all systems, but it has only been tested on Windows
• The system must have Office installed, and only MS-Office has been tested
