LRFTools. Convert LRF to EPUB, HTML, PDF and RTF - Page 15

mngharry · 05-19-2009, 08:18 AM

This is probably a very stupid question, but how do you start this program? When I double click on the .jar file, nothing happens. Got to work it!

OK, I tried going PDF->EPUB and had the following problem:

Code:

C:\Users\Simon\Desktop>java -Xms200M -Xmx300M -jar LRFTools-v0.9.211.jar convertPDF ebooks -d ebooks
Loading 'EvidenceExplained.pdf' 885 pages -----------java.io.IOException: Not implemented

        at lrf.RecurseDirs.<init>(RecurseDirs.java:91)
        at lrf.RecurseDirs.main(RecurseDirs.java:41)

Any ideas?

Bad luck. The library pdfbox don't support all images on pdf. You can try to 'print' your pdf to a BullZip printer or similar. This generate other pdf (identical) but sometimes windows reprocess images and converts it to other format...

BullZip didn't work, will try other ones later, oh well

First off, thanks for the great program! It's really a life saver when all I have are LRFs that I need in another format.

While converting somewhere close to 500 books, every once in awhile, the program would get hung up on one book and stop converting. This happened on about twenty different books. Here is the error message I get.

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

at java.nio.DirectByteBuffer.getInt(Unknown Source)
at lrf.buffer.MappedReader.getInt(MappedReader.java:7 0)

Hi, could you PM me with a link to one or some of these books?

erictice · 06-15-2009, 11:24 AM

Has anyone tried this in code rather than command line? I am just trying to try the PDF2EPUB_HTML and not having any luck

erictice · 06-16-2009, 10:41 AM

I am trying to use the api in a JAVA app and can't seem to get it to convert the pdf. The documentation in the code is non-existent does anyone have a sample of how to do PDF2EPUB_HTML()

Hi, this class is actually deprecated. See "lrf.RecurseDirs.convertPDFActionParams" function. You will see there is two modes of conversion from PDF to EPUB: classes PDF2SVG and PDFSerializer, the preferred.

And yes, there is no info on the code...

humanehero · 06-20-2009, 12:24 PM

hmm... okay. Thanks for trying anyway. I appreciate it. I guess I'll just download them again.

Shadowdh · 06-21-2009, 05:24 PM

Hi there, I have a few lrf type ebooks and I want to convert them to either lit format or txt, doc or rtf format... so after a search I found this site and have tried to follow the instructions as they are in this thread... after changing to the LRFTools directory as specified in this thread also I typed out java -Xms200M -Xmx300M -jar LRFTools.jar convertLRF c:\eBooks -RTF and it came back with the message error occurred during initialisation of VM, Too small initial heap... not sure what that means... can anyone help out? I only have about 13 books to convert as I mainly use MSreader or uBook... Many thanks in advance... oh and I should mention that I am not too computer savvy...

A great Thank You to Elinares for this wonderful tool!

And to Lionfish too for his gui which simplifies novice's life!

Hi,

Trying to get readable PDF's on my iphone. The following images is the output. I'm running Vista business. any help would be greatly appreciated:

jotas · 07-23-2009, 03:15 PM

Hi!

I just found this thread and tool. Looks quite promising, I will take a look and try!

Just two questions for the moment:

- Since you already have XML and HTML conversion, will be possible a new and direct .FB2 conversion/output format? This would allow to share and use all .LRF files around with many e-readers, as EPUB should do (well, .RTF is a similar story and headache) if specs are finally added and correctly programmed to devices.

- Today, I also found (IMHO) a quite useful application: LRF2LRF (Font and Margin modifyer) (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24978), would be interesting to merge it to this project also, in some way?

Thanks!
Regards!
