The PDF Organizer is a Python script designed to help you manage your collection of PDF files efficiently. It analyzes each PDF file in a specified directory, reading metadata such as titles and authors, and organizes the files into subfolders based on these metadata categories. Additionally, it renames the PDFs according to a consistent format ("Author - Title.pdf") and generates a summary report of the folder's contents, including a count of PDFs per category.

Reads metadata from PDF files to get the title, author, and number of pages.

Automatically creates subfolders for different authors and moves the PDFs into these folders.

Renames PDF files following a consistent naming convention for easier identification.

Generates a report detailing the organization process, including the number of PDFs processed and sorted by category.

Before you can use the PDF Organizer script, you need to have Python installed on your system. Additionally, the script depends on the PyPDF2 library for reading PDF metadata.

1. Install Python
2. Install PyPDF2: Run the following command to install the PyPDF2 library: pip install PyPDF2

1. Place the pdf_organizer.py script in a directory of your choice.
2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the script is located.
3. Run the script with Python by executing the following command: python pdf_organizer.py
4. Before running the script, make sure to modify the source_folder variable in the script to point to the directory containing your PDF files and the report_path variable to where you want the summary report to be saved.
