This is a desktop application built with Electron for Windows, designed to streamline the process of batch editing PDF files. It allows users to select a folder containing PDF files and automatically adds the folder's name to the top left corner of each PDF. The modified PDFs are then saved in a "processed" subfolder within the original folder. This application leverages the powerful pdf-lib library to manipulate PDF documents efficiently.
- Batch process multiple PDF files
