LRFTools. Convert LRF to EPUB, HTML, PDF and RTF

[columbus]

Hi, I am having problems also just trying to convert a small sample word file to epub
have tried many variations on the cmd line but always get the same result.
I am obviously being a dummy some where but can't see it - anybody help??

h:\ebook conversions >java -Xms200M -Xmx300M -jar lrftools-v0.9.193.jar convertDOCX h:\ebook conversion\out -EPUB
java.lang.NullpointerException
at lrf.docx.DOCX2EPUB.recurse(DOCX2EPUB.java:38)
at lrf.RecurseDirs.convertDOCXActionParams(RecurseDir s.java:274)
at lrf.RecurseDirs.<init>(RecurseDirs.java:92)
at lrf.RecurseDirs.main(RecurseDirs.java:40)

Have Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)

This is an improved version. All options are added and now the GUI will call the LRFtools directly so it should be platform independent.

Honestly, I didn't check if all options work, so good luck.

Anything I am doing wrong?

No, there was a BUG when author field cannot be get (null or encrypted). I've corrected it, I'll put new version soon.

I noticed something odd... if I unzip the file under windows I get a single jar file. If I do it on a Mac, well, I get a ton of files, folders, and no LRFTools jar file.

I'm having no success with any of the files I try. Am I doing this right?

It looks like you are missing the directory where the files are located after convertLRF and before -EPUB

Could you PM me the book? It seems to be a problem with font colors...

[tlc]

I did some debugging last night. Line 108 in StyleItem.java:

return new StyleItem("color","#"+Integer.toHexString(t.getValueAt(0)).substring(2));

getValueAt returns 0; toHexString returns "0"; substring throws an exception. I changed it to check for length < 2 before doing substring and the conversion completed, but I don't know if 0 valid and this is the right fix.


Also, when I tried to convert to RTF, I got other errors, which I fixed by changing Book#getRTF to guard against null author & title like it already did for null bookID and the conversion completed.

                if (getAuth() != null)
                        doc.addAuthor(getAuth());
                if (getTitle() != null)
                        doc.addTitle(getTitle());
                if(getBookID()!=null)
                        doc.addHeader("BookID", getBookID());

Great catch! I've commited these changes and others.
New version 0.9.196 ready to download.
@tlc: Thanks

I renamed the file to just be LRFTools.

Hi,

anybody successful with the tool under Mac OS X?

Thanks,

Frank

I have had to unzip it under windows and then copied it to my Mac...

[rcuadro]

I take it that LRFTools cannot convert Sony's LRX format? When i try to convert them to HTML I get a blank page and it cannot do it to EPUB...

Yes, though it was the previous version. (my post, back in Dec. That's about a mac) I do rememember an issue like you have (no jar, just a lot of files). Don't recall how I fixed it --- I probably went to the author and had it resent as a jar. Or something. ??

But it *can* be done on a mac.
