This project is meant to distribute pages from an original.pdf to a set of people. The project reads an index file and a people file and creates a .pdf file specific for each person. The output files will be named after the person listed in the people file, and placed in the out-pdfs directory. You can either specify the names of the files for the original pdf, index and people when calling the function from command line, have the files be automatically read if they have the right names, or get a prompt from the program else.

Use case: all files are named original, index, people and will be read automatically

python distribute_pages 

Use case: file have custom names example.pdf, indf.txt, students.txt

python distribute_pages example.pdf, indf.txt, students.txt

Use case: prompt from the program. Assumes files have non-standard names (compare first use case above)

python distribute_pages 
>> Enter original pdf: example.pdf
>> Enter index file: indf.txt
>> Enter people file: students.txt
