Making a landscape pdf
G'day rcrsn51,
Thanks for the reply to my query.
I'll try a few recipe scans and see how the conversions look.
I expect, to hold good definition in case of the need to print-on-paper as well as for the pdf itself, the jpg should be of highish resolution.
Which is OK as I should treat the jpg as a temp file to be deleted once the pdf is as desired.
Will report any problems.

Landscape pdf via scanned jpg [SOLVED]
G'day rcrsn51,
I've done one test which worked as you suggested (scanned as hi-res jpg, rotated, then pdf-ed to give landscape pdf in default pdf viewer).
I'm on cooking duty today so will try scanning some more recipes to better confirm the process, and will update, provided no one gets poisoned .
Thanks for your help.
David S.
Addendum 1:
Just scanned six recipe double-sided pages into pairs of jpg files, which I rotated with Peasy JPG resizer (scaled 100%, rotated + or - 90 degrees to get correct orientation) (examples as screenshots).
Then with PeasyPDFconverter converted each PEASYSCALE jpg to pdf and finally joined these pairs of pdfs into single pdfs (screenshot shows multiple windows open while doing the transformations which went very quickly).
Cannot post a finished pdf example as Forum won't accept pdf format - but all open in landscape in the default pdf viewer.
Addendum2: But I can post a screenshot (it's now the first screenshot) of the landscape-multipage recipe pdf in a Pup pdf viewer (example in BionicAlpha+6)

Is there any armhf version
This is my favorite tool for managing pdf on Linux, even when I move to Bionic dog, I still use this. I've just try install Debian noroot on my android tablet, I wonder if there is armhf architecture version for this.

Re: Is there any armhf version
Ok, I've just manual install by extracting the pet file and copying bin file, desktop file and icon file into respective folder.quantumbox wrote:This is my favorite tool for managing pdf on Linux, even when I move to Bionic dog, I still use this. I've just try install Debian noroot on my android tablet, I wonder if there is armhf architecture version for this.
first error I resolve by replacing #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash on peasypdf script.
next error missing some dependencies :
- lpstat -> resolve by installing cups
- gettext -> install from repo
- gtkdialog3 -> this is the real problem
I look on my bionic dog, it's a symlink to gtkwialog, I don't know wether this binary works on armhf or not, then I copy to bin folder (in Debian noroot) and make symlink to gtkwialog then shows error like this :
line 722: /usr/local/bin/gtkdialog3: No such file or directory
I guess this error is due to the absence of gtkwiak dependencies, which I don't know what that is

Hello rcrsn51.
Thanks for your usefull pdf utility.
I was wondering however why we get the following slag when starting
peasypdf from console:
Why are those variables dumped to console when we leave peasypdf? Is
it necessary? Even when we start it with < peasypdf 2>/dev/null > ? It
may be nothing at all, or there may be no remedy, but I would like to
know the reason of this visual pollution.
Info: peasypdf v. 4.2 running on a xenialPup-7.0.6 (32 bits).
TIA.

The messages come from gtkdialog. To remove them, change the last line of the script to
Code: Select all
gtkdialog3 -G +600+50 -p DIALOG > /dev/null
Thanks, rcrsn51.

I also getwhen I start it.
It's probably because I do not have a real printer and deactivated the
corresponding service utility -- as you suggested that I do in another forum
thread!
But... is there a way to prevent this message from displaying when
peasypdf is run from console? TIA.
BFN.

Hi.
This is a very nice tool. Quite important for me since I extract single pages out of entire books for my school kids when reading and printing.
I have a usuability request though.
After 10 pages the notification that a page was extracted steals the focus off the application that was being used along side peasypdf. This degrades performance overtime specially extracting entire books. I guess every bit of ram matters. Would it be too difficult to have this run in the command prompt (I come from a windows world, I guess the word is a shell) or even better have a gui option not to display notifications until after the entire process has finished? (I would rather prefer this)
Thank you. Very useful tool on my end and for my needs.
PD: I never tried djvu files, which I think don't work. Are djvu files supported (I believe they have tiff embedded images)

I partially solved it using the second function (Combine tif2pdf) which converts the images into single pdfs and then I use the Join function.
Hi everyone.
I use Peasypdf ver 4.2 with Bionicpup64 ver 8.
I was trying to use the Combine function to transform a jpg folder into a single pdf but I can't because the program img2pdf.py is missing but I can't find it in PPM.
What I do not understand above all is that if I run the command from the terminal everything is done perfectly and I find myself as output the pdf with the merged images.(fig. 2)
Can anyone suggest me a solution?
thanks

The original version of img2pdf (from the Tahrpup era) used a Python2 app where the executable was named "img2pdf.py".
It looks like you have installed a newer Python3 version where the executable is just "img2pdf".
The original version is still available in Fred's repo as a .deb package. I have no idea if it is compatible with Puppy.
