On the other side, processing all pictures of a file is tedious, even if there's batch processing. I also would have to extract all pages first from my pdfs. So it's quite a bit of work.

Like stated in my first post, my pdfs are mostly readable. I would have wished to increase contrast of the text, but I'm not too eager to jump through loops as long as the files are readable sufficiently.


That pdfs made for letter sized prints or monitors is not the best thing for readers is obvious. Still, having the portability of the files on my reader is just plain awesome. I'm not looking for the 100% solution. I was just checking if I could increase my current 80% to somewhere between 85-90% without too much effort

Anyway, thanks a lot for the help


I apologize for the forgotten issues.

I thought that you begun with single images not with a pdf. Any way, pdftk can "burst" a multipage pdf to single page pdf. then with "convert" www.imagemagick.org you can convert them to png, jpg ... and process them with scantailor. After processing you will obtain a set of tiff. From this a pdf can be obtained with tiff2ps and ps2pdf or if you want, build a cbr (just rar thw whole set, after png or jpg conversion, and rename) and filter thru calibre or pdflrf. I have done this with a badly scanned comic with good results but not with a text. I will try to do some experiments to post to this thread.

Regards
