ID Card Generator

Overview

This project generates a PDF file containing custom ID cards for employees. Each ID card includes the employee's photo and name, overlaid on a pre-defined ID template.

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• Pillow (PIL Fork)
• ReportLab

To install the required Python packages, run:

pip install pillow reportlab

Inputs

1. template.png: A pre-defined ID template image (PNG format).
2. employee_data.csv: A CSV file containing employee details with the columns: name and photo.
3. photos/: A folder containing all employee ID photos referenced in the CSV file.

Usage

1. Place the following in the same directory:

   • template.png
   • employee_data.csv
   • photos/ folder with all employee images
   • generate_id_cards.py script

2. Run the script with:

python generate_id_cards.py

3. The script will generate a PDF named employee_id_cards.pdf in the current directory, with one ID card per employee listed in the CSV file.

Customization

• You can modify the font size and font path by editing the setFont() line and font_path variable in the script.
• The positions for the photo and name placement can also be adjusted using the photo_x, photo_y, and drawCentredString() parameters.

Output

• The output PDF will have the size of a standard credit card (85.6mm × 54mm), with each page containing one ID card.
