RTF Conversion with Plucker
I have quite a few RTF (Rich Text Format) documents and ebooks I would like to read in Plucker, but dammed if I can work out how to get JpluckX or PLucker Desktop to convert them.
Has anyone got any ideas??? |

Saving as html is the best option, as it keeps document formatting, tables etc for a much nicer isilo or plucker conversion.

I just caught this thread, and wanted to say that I've been happily converting RTF files to Plucker format for about 2 years now, using just Perl. Here's the code that you can use to do the same:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use XML::GDOME; use RTF::HTMLConverter; my $parser = RTF::HTMLConverter->new( in => 'test.rtf', out => 'test.html', codepage => 'iso-8859-1', discard_images => 1,); $parser->parse(); I could probably add this kind of functionality to my PDF to Plucker tool online, if anyone is interested. I've also been converting .doc files as well, but that isn't really as popular, I guess. |

Hacker,
RTF to Plucker is not the same as Plucker to RTF. Does it work in reverse? I would like to convert a bunch of plucker files to rtf. (plucker is waaaaaay too big, 3M+) cactusjack, There's a RichReader for palms that works with rtf files. Check it out. (search Google for richreader palm) And 44k in size versus 3M for plucker. |

If you mean the Plucker content you are creating is 3M+ in size, that is entirely possible, depending on what factors you used when building it. Did you enable zlib compression? (40% savings in size, roughly) There are so many factors that can change the size of the .pdb file. Did you include images? At what bit depth? Lower bit-depth images produce smaller .pdb files. Did you enable alternate images? That'll bloat the .pdb quite a bit. How many links are in the .pdb? Hundreds? Thousands? Quote:
RichReader is 44k because it does something entirely different. Comparing the features and size of RichReader to Plucker is like comparing the speed of a Porsche to the taste of an orange. |

If you really want a Plucker-to-RTF conversion tool, feel free to fund such a venture, and I'm sure someone will write it. Personally, my spare time is drastically limited (this time of year does that to my company) and having a new daughter v0.4 (months) sucks up whatever available time I might have left. What have you personally contributed to the project? |
