Editorial Workflows

PDF with page numbers

unlisted workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Converts the current Markdown document to a PDF, and then adds header/footer text to the PDF, using Python (reportlab/PyPDF2). Header/footer text can include page numbers.

Quite a few options are configurable in the (custom) "Add PDF Header/Footer" action.

Please consider adding header.rstrip() and footer.rstrip() to the processing. A \n at the end of these fields results in a black square in the .pdf file.

Done.
