🛠️ Prerequisites

To run the script from the source, ensure you have Python 3 installed along with the following dependencies. You can install them via pip:

# GUI Themes
pip install ttkthemes

# Windows API for printing
pip install pywin32

# Required for building the .exe file
pip install cx_Freeze==6.1

(Note: Tkinter and os are generally included by default with standard Python installations.)

🚀 How to Run

1. Clone or download the repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the script directory (Print Pdf Py - Script - 1.0).
3. Run the main Python script:

   python "Print Pdf Python.pyw"

4. Click Browse Folder to select a PDF file.
5. Click Print File to send it to your default printer.

📦 Building the Executable

If you wish to create a standalone Windows executable (.exe), you can use the provided setup.py script using cx_Freeze:

python setup.py build

This will generate a build folder containing your executable application that can run on systems without Python installed.
