How to create cover for the pdf files for the Cybook?

How to transform files .JPG / .PNG in .T2B files (cover in cybook)?

See here: http://konrad.familie-kieling.de/com...umbnail-images

I use this instead of the "open IN..." statement:

Code:

  if ( $file =~ /\.pdf$/ )
    { open IN, "pdftops -f 1 -l 1 -paper match \"$file\" - | convert -resize 96x144 -map \"$palette\" -dither PNM:- | pnmtopng 2>/dev/null |"; }
  else
    { open IN, "convert -resize 96x144 -map \"$palette\" -dither \"$file\" PNM:- | pnmtopng 2>/dev/null |"; }

Jellby Thank you!.

I need to install a Perl interpreter in my machine?

I'm afraid you do need a Perl interpreter... and convert, and pdftops, and pnmtopng. It's almost trivial if you have Linux, unfortunately I don't know how to do it in Windows or Mac.

Well, I am generating the images in Mobipocket Creator and sent to the Cybook and then change the name of the file. T2B.

Thanks again, Jellby.
