Feature Request: Organize PDF

[deon-gracias]

I thought a cool feature would be to organize pdfs, since I use it on ilovepdf.com a lot. So I wrote this function from looking at some functions in the codebase.

The below code simply uses the existing split and merge functions to organize the pdfs.

I couldn't get it to run since I don't have a key to the product and I don't work at a company.

I hope I can contribute to the repo by making a pull request I can work on this feature. I wanted to create a function for it in the pkg folder. But I'm not sure of the behavior of the program since I have not been able to get it run due to the license.

var organizeCmd = &cobra.Command{
	Use:                   "organize [FLAG]... INPUT_FILE OUTPUT_FILE [PAGES]",
	Short:                 "organize PDF files",
	Long:                  organizeCmdDesc,
	Example:               organizeCmdExample,
	DisableFlagsInUseLine: true,
	Run: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
		inputPath := args[0]
		outputPath := args[1]
		password, _ := cmd.Flags().GetString("password")

		// Parse page range.
		var err error
		var pages []int

		if len(args) > 2 {
			if pages, err = parsePageRange(args[2]); err != nil {
				printUsageErr(cmd, "Invalid page range specified\n")
			}
		}

		splitFiles := make([]string, len(pages), len(pages))
		for _, page := range pages {
			temporaryFilePath := "./tmp/" + inputPath + "-" + strconv.Itoa(page)
			err = pdf.Split(inputPath, temporaryFilePath, password, []int{page})

			if err != nil {
				printErr("Error: %v\n", err)
			}
		}

		err = pdf.Merge(splitFiles, outputPath)
		if err != nil {
			printErr("Error: %v\n", err)
		}

		fmt.Printf("Successfully organized file %s\n", inputPath)
		fmt.Printf("Output file saved to %s\n", outputPath)
	},
	Args: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error {
		if len(args) < 2 {
			return errors.New("must provide at least the input and output files")
		}

		return nil
	},
}
