If you convert a PDF file to PS through pdftops, then send the PS file though PeasyPDF's Print function, it works with your fax machine? |
answer: Yes, it woks.

answer: It works also from peasypdf without converting to PS. According to efaxs README, the current ghostscripts version would allow sending the fax as a PDF without converting to PS, for single and multipage pdf document as well .
So no more need then to perform a PS conversion step before sending the fax

Sorry if discovering this now in real time ... i'd only remembered that, in some circumstances, i'd got an error message trying to fax pdf files.

OK. I'm going to implement this feature anyway as an option. I recall seeing another situation where the printer driver really wanted to see PS instead of PDF.
Stand by for v3.0!

PeasyPDF v3.0 is posted above. Its Print function now supports older printer drivers that need Postscript source data instead of PDF.

.PDF .pdf capital vs low case characters |
|
Hi rcrsn51,
... just to mention that:
the conversion to pdf of graphic files creates a CONVERTED.PDF in /tmp/PDFCONVERT folder, using the extension .PDF with capital police.
I've experimented that a .PDF (capital character) to-a-mail-attached-document is unreadable for the recipient under Linux - ... don't know for WIndows users - (i'm using the across Europe well know "scarlet" webmail provider). Modifying the extension to .pdf (lowcase character) solves the «problem».
Did someone already experience this ?
Thanks for any answer.
Cheers, Charlie

Interesting. I chose the upper-case name CONVERTED.PDF so it would be easy to identify and I assumed that users would rename it to something else.
I don't know why an e-mail service would reject the name. Maybe they have a list of legal file types that they will allow as attachments, but only lower-case file extensions are on the list.

Your JPEG resizing app works so well ...
Is it possible to make PeasyPDF bulk-convert a folder of .doc text documents with pictures into PDF files?
I know that LibreOffice can do that but I believe it would be one at a time.
I could use http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-pdf but that's also one at a time.
If the conversion has to be done inside AbiWord or LibreOffice could a script pointed at the parent folder containing all of the sub-folders walk through them all & make the conversions unattended?
I have 51 folders containing .doc files with images - I'd like a PDF version of each - preferably written to the same folder.
Our son has manually converted 12 files in one folder to EPUB via http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub but I'm guessing his patience would expire quickly if I asked him to convert the 718 additional files one at a time.
WDYT?

No. PeasyPDF can bulk-convert individual pictures into PDF, but it has no ability to work with .doc files.
[Edit] This is possible using LibreOffice and a bit of script:
Code: | for F in *.doc; do libreoffice --convert-to pdf $F; done |

PeasyPDF Subject description: very useful |
|
rcrsn51,
Just a public note here to say, "Thank You", for PeasyPDF. I am using it in Precise 5.7.1 full install with excellent results. Until discovering this thread I was not aware that a new version of PeasyPDF and ghostscript were available for us. They are now installed and working admirably.
Folks like you who selflessly contribute to Puppy is why folks like me use it as our only operating system. You are appreciated!

Subject description: Use PeasyPDF to reduce size of Textmaker pdfs |
|
Thanks for PeasyPDF ! - although I currently have old version v2.4 (installed by default in Slacko 5.6) I have found it very useful for reducing the size of PDF files created by Softmaker Freeoffice and Textmaker. Here is what I do:
Export the document as pdf from Textmaker
Make a blank page and export it as pdf from Textmaker
Run Peasypdf and "add" the two files separately then "save" them.
My original pdf was 893kB and the pdf output from Peasy is now 226kB.
Now that I have found this thread I will install and test the newest version of PeasyPDF - it probably has an even easier way to achieve the same thing.

Brilliant little Swiss knife tools rcrn51.
Is there a way that it can open a pdf, populate the text and then save the pdf wysiwyg style?
Maybe it could be combined with a little word processor to achieve this?
I found the extract text as a txt file difficult. The text is editable. The print to file is awkward, cups or ghostview system, some problems.
That grab a folder of jpgs etc and turn into a pdf is excellent.
EDIT:
Just tried Shinobar's Abiword Portable, neat, except loading a pdf file doesn't include pictures and boxes and stuff, and they are lost when saving as pdf.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=94415
Scribus, meh, kingsoft meh, libre draw, complicated editing of pdf.
Any apps that use QT absolutely destroy my puppy, probably because I have wrong one's that are just enough for Qtractor or the glibc or something.
Evince is standard in this Puppy and is outstanding.
Now if that would just have an edit and save mode that would be good!
So the nearest is Abiword for pdf population.
