Anyone got a PDF software idea ?
Hello every body ,
This is my first post here ... I have read some posts, and i see this is a great PDF community I have been thinking for a few day for a new nice PDF software idea to develop. So i'd like to share the experience with you. Has anyone thought before of an idea concerning PDFs, and said ... If only there was a software that could do this !! It'd be nice if you share your ideas here ... Crazy ideas are welcome too. |

A small program that could create or edit bookmarks in PDFs would be great. For that matter, something that extracted a list of bookmarks would be really useful.

How about something that could transpose colors in a PDF without rasterizing any of the content?

@Elfwreck: Nice suggestion ... What would you do with extracting the bookmarks of a PDF ?

@frabjous: Thanks a lot ... So if you have a title in black color for example, you want to change it to red. Things like that ?

Sure, but not just that. Suppose I want to change all the black in the PDF to blue. Or suppose I want to invert all the colors, so that it goes from the usual black on white to white on black.

Build a table of contents as a page inside the book. If it's a textbook, use the list as topics for lessons. Send out the list as advertising, to encourage other people to read the book. Compare number and titles of chapters of a dozen books. Just count them to know how many chapters it has, if they're not numbered. Have a convenient list to work with, if conversion to another format scrambles the formatting & loses the page breaks. |

How about an accurate conversion of pdf tables into epub format? While keeping fonts as well?

Yes. Amazingly, that program I linked to in my last post is the only free program I could find that promises to allow bookmark creation. It's too bad it dosn't work for me. All the other programs that allow this cost money. I just want the book to open up where I last left off, like an ereader program should. Is there a solution that already exists out there?

jPDFbookmarks These are open source Java programs that handle bookmarks. I don't have a lot of experience with them. (You can also put them in with pdflatex's pdfpages package, but that's a relatively steep learning curve if you don't already know LaTeX.) |
