R Shiny App to Merge PDF Files
Hello friends! I was working on some automation and one part was to merge the PDF files into single file using R. From there I got the idea to create an R Shiny app to merge PDF files. Here I have attached my GitHub repo and R shiny app link.
This app involves creating an R Shiny application that allows users to merge multiple PDF files into a single PDF document. The application provides a user-friendly interface for selecting, merging, and downloading PDF files. Users can select multiple PDF files from their local system using the file selection dialog provided by the app. The app uses the ‘qpdf‘ library to handle the merging of the selected PDF files.
Once the files are selected, the app displays the names of the selected files for user confirmation. A progress indicator is included to show the status of file selection and merging processes, providing real-time feedback to the user.
After merging, users can download the combined PDF document directly from the app. The app interface is styled using modern Bootstrap themes to ensure a professional and visually appealing user experience. Additional UI enhancements, such as tooltips and instructional tips, are included to guide users through the process.
This R Shiny aims to simplify the task of merging PDF files, making it accessible to users with minimal technical expertise.
