How to Use with Fabric

1. Clone Fabric https://github.com/danielmiessler/fabric to your local dev system and follow the installation directions.
   • You'll have to install pipx, if you only use pip3, as well as Python 3.10 at minimum.
   • Have your ChatGPT API key ready.
   • The YouTube transcription features are amazing. I suggest generating a YouTube API key prior to setup.
   • I found the install to be a snap.
   • The NetworkChuck video on the Fabric repo is definitely worth watching.
2. Play around with just Fabric until you get a sense of how it works.
   • On Ubuntu Linux I had to use xclip for clipboard functions, not pbpaste. This applies to Fabric only.
   • The pdfprocess.py script uses the pyperclip module for copy/paste. You don't need pyperclip to use Fabric itself and are advised not to.
   • There's heavy activity on the Fabric repo currently, so at least weekly, you'll need to run git pull and fabric --update in the patterns directory.
   • They've been saying they plan to migrate to Go since May. You'll have the best experience using Linux.
3. Clone this repo into its own directory.
   • Ensure that the Python modules in requirements.txt are installed.
4. To run the pdfprocess.py script, both the script and the PDFs to process must be copied to the fabric/patterns directory.
   • Create a "sourcePDFs" directory inside fabric/patterns.
   • Copy the PDFs you want to process into that directory. There's no limit on how many, other than how much you're willing to be billed for your ChatGPT API key usage. It's not expensive to run.
   • Copy the pdfprocess.py script from this locally-cloned repo to the root of the fabric/patterns directory.
   • Run the script inside fabric/patterns: python3 pdfprocess.py
   • This process could be optimized, but I only have so much time. I'm welcome to feedback on improvments.
5. Please create an issue if you run into problems.

Sample Output - SUMMARIZE PATTERN

A successful output will name the 3 Fabric patterns prior to each pattern output, along with the Fabric repo URL. These and all 3 pattern outputs should be then be pre-pended to a new PDF, followed by a copy of the entire original PDF. The output file will have a "summarized_" prefix.
