Single-column HTML to 2-column PDF?
Hi,
I'm looking for a simple command line tool that would convert and reformat single-pane HTML files (say, articles I read online) to two-pane PDFs (basically an offline alternative for Joliprint). I'm on Debian Linux, but not much of a coder, so HTML2PDF seems a little complicated at this point. I'm also aware of Pisa but it doesn't seem to have direct options for defining columns. Thanks for any help! Last edited by martz; 12-28-2012 at 05:29 AM. Reason: added details |

Since you'd be working with HTML files, load and tweak them in LibreOffice and then convert them to PDF. Better yet, for Sony PRS-T1, you probably want ePub.

If you're willing to do a little work, you can convert HTML to DocBook (html2db, for example), then run it through dblatex with an appropriate set of styles.
