PDFConv Description
Converts a PDF file to a series of images PDFConv is a free and open source Java program that converts a PDF file into a series of images (currently: JPEG, PICT or BMP), together with a HTML file or a NewtonBook source file containing these images. In a PDF file, there is no text stored. Instead, for each letter the position (and direction) is given. So for extracting text, one would need to take all letters on a single page, sort them into lines and try to find out which letter form a word (and where the spaces are). And because of the different letter sizes, and different typesetting possibilities, a text exctraxrion program can not always guess the text correct (especially if the text is in multiple columns). Requirements: · Java 1.4 or later What's New in This Release: · added a mac installer · added GUI · allows everything possible via the command line · documentation is missing in the moment, but should be easy to understand · uses 'Plastic3D' theme from 'JGoodies Looks' as default. This can be changed via command line options: '-win', '-metal', '-mac', '-plastic', '-plastic', '-plasticxp', '-none' · bugfix: generated text files are now closed immediately after writing · changed logging to use a log handler (to allow message display in the GUI)
