Code to PDF Converter

This project converts code files to PDF with syntax highlighting. It supports multiple file types and uses wkhtmltopdf for PDF conversion.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x

Setup

1. Clone the repository or download the project folder.
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Ensure the config.json file is correctly configured with the path to wkhtmltopdf and the desired file types.

Running the Converter

python converter.py

You will be prompted to enter the project directory, output directory, and the path to the configuration file.
