Reflowing PDF
Some free utilities:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdftohtml/ http://www.nzdl.org/html/prescript.html (python-based) pstotext ps2ascii ps2html ps2a.sh I wonder, could mobilereaders tell about its experiences with these packages? Quality and Speed considerations are important, because it seems that some people wants a reflow package in their own ereader, not in the PC. Last edited by arivero; 10-26-2006 at 02:11 PM. |

XPDF's pdftotext did a better job on the tagged PDFs I created, but editing was still needed. On regular PDFs, it did just as good (or, bad) a job as pdftohtml. Knowing the nature of PDFs, don't think that you will ever find a utility that will let you reflow a PDF or convert a PDF into something else. PDF was designed to prevent both. Now, when I see support for tagged PDFs, I might change my belief, but until then, PDFs remain a "page layout" format - not an eBook format. |
