manga2pdf

Simple script to download and merge manga images into a single pdf file.

Uses Ruby and Selenium.

Works with manga from Manganato. Eg: https://readmanganato.com/manga-kb961736/chapter-1.2

Requirements

• Ruby 2.7
• make
• ImageMagick and libmagickwand-dev
• firefox-geckodriver
• The gems in the Gemfile

You may get a "security policy" ImageMagick error. In this case add to etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml the following line just before </policymap>:

<policy domain="coder" rights="read | write" pattern="PDF" />

Usage

CLI Version

Launch the script like this:

ruby manga2pdf.rb -u <url> [-d] [-l 10] -o name

• -u is for the url
• -d is to create individual directories for each volume.
• -l is to limit the number of chapters downloaded. The number after -l is the number of chapters to download.
• -o provides the output filename. By default is "manga.pdf"

GUI Version

Just run

ruby manga2pdf-gui.rb

And follow the GUI.
