Results are very good. I've never got results I was happy with, and it was very frustrating trying to sort it out :( 1. There seems to be no way to configure the default fonts, and it uses terrible ones by default. 2. When the fonts are specified in css it tends to ignore them. 3. Somehow it produc...

https://willus.com/k2pdfopt optimizes pdf/DJVU files for small screens, including reflow even of scanned files!
Check out the example screenshots on the home page.

2. pdf-xchange is the best "free" option I've seen for editing pdf bookmarks (no, this isn't a premium feature). It looks like I never mentioned jpdfbookmarks in this thread, which is generally pretty good, but can't format the bookmarks, and seems to have a bug in its logic with export/i...

If it is me at https://github.com/AlisterH/gwc then it isn't actually a fork - I am currently the upstream maintainer (although I never got around to sorting out any announcements on the mailing list}, and there should be a matching release tarball at sourceforge. Jeff Welty said he was too busy ret...

So it is 0.11, or the current git at https://github.com/thp/wavbreaker?
BTW thanks, I didn't realise there was a git version with mp3 support. It still doesn't have track detection, though, does it?

Change the compression and quality arguments depending on the nature of your pdfs. I mean choose the right raster format (-png, -jpeg, -tiff options) to convert to with pdftopoppler, referencing how img2pdf will handle it: | JPEG | any | direct | | JPEG2000 | any | direct | | PNG (non-interlaced) |...

This is the best solution I can come up with for converting vector pdf to raster pdf. You can probably tell it is pulled from a script I run from a magic button to automate all kinds of useful things: # read in the output resolution (DPI) read RES <image_resolution.txt # check that RES is a number i...

I presume you are asking about the snippets in my previous. One appears to be for combining pdfs and the other for creating a pdf from some images.

Another program I don't think I've mentioned, particularly for doing ocr on scanned pdfs, is the Windows freeware "pdf-xchange viewer", which apparently runs well in Wine. I know there are some other topics here about linux OCR engines and guis, but I thought I'd mention ocrmypdf , which ...

People might find these snippets from http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#ps interesting: Multi-paged PDF Documents... You can use perl to combine multiple PDF files, without resorting to a IM, and its rasterization problem... #!/usr/bin/perl # Script pdf-combiner.pl use strict; use warnings; ...

My idea of "night mode" would be dark themes for gtk, jwm etc. Were you after that too?

Are there puppies using systemd?

Gui to edit pdf metadata, written in vala and uses poppler

I haven't tried the linux version lately, but the Windows Foxit Reader has a good interface for attaching files. Even Adobe Reader can attach files on Windows, although the interface isn't good.

On my Windows work PC I noticed that the KDiff3 shell integration includes a very handy feature to store a list of files which you can diff against, making it easy to diff files or folders that aren't in the same location. See the screenshots attached. I've never paid much attention to it before, be...

I wanted to convert pngs to 4bit, and it was difficult to find a command that worked i.e. imagemagick with the -depth option. Imagemagick has other options that sound like they do it, but they don't! # PNG is smaller than jpg, but it seems html2ps only accepts 4bit png, otherwise it converts to a no...

Thanks radky for joining the party. You brought some potent stuff .... potentially lethal :lol: 3 concerns: ... 3) You send clicked items to xdg-open while my script sends them to rox -s . The command rox -s can never do harm. It just opens a ROX-Filer window. What xdg-open does depends on its conf...

Thanks for that micko. I'm surprised I only partially stripped help out of the gui - maybe I intended to reimplement it, but I think it is actually completely unnecessarily.

You haven't clarified why you want to do this. If you are trying to avoid maintaining multiple configuration files for all your software, then I'd suggest you look into some of the solutions people use to e.g. store them in a git repository. Or search to see if there is already a solution specifical...
