Do I understand it right that you want not to merely resize PDF pages but to change how the contents (of the original html) are split between the pages, i.e., use a different font size, margins, etc.? If the answer to both questions is yes then: 1) I don't think you can manipulate the resulting PDF in this way without a scriptable PDF editor (and I don't know of any); 2) you need to do it at the html2ps stage, and "man 5 html2psrc" should be helpful. If by any chance all you want to do is resizing the pages of the resulting PDF (without modifying the contents of each page) then a suitably clever combination of pdftk(1) and ImageMagick(1) (probably convert(1)), or maybe just the latter, should be up to the task. I'll leave RTFMing to you. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: QtQt printing question - html to pdf
I want to read it on the Kindle 2. There is a problem in displaying Hebrew characters in the usual formats - .mobi, .txt, azw (awz?), etc. - I can view a PDF document on the Kindle and an external html pages (there is no way that I know of to view html files stored in the Kindle - they are not presented in the menu of available documents. The problem with PDF is that if the page size is too large, say A4, it is very unpleasant to read it on a 6 inch screen. It requires using the Kindle's mouse button (5-way arrows) to scan each line, or use a magnifying lens. Since I want to read the darn thing on the Kindle, not from my web server, I want to convert the documents to PDF, with a page size that is slightly smaller than B7. Calibre seems to convert to the right size, but I do not know how to automate it yet. Meir's script works, and I can run it from a script that would open and convert each file, if I can get the size right. Wkhtmltopdf gives me boxes between letters, indicating missing fonts. Z.

Don't you prefer an output format that is more portable with regards to the screen size? Have you considered ePub?

QtQt printing question - html to pdf
As a follow up to previous question - I am using Meir's script from
http://whatsup.org.il/article/6412 - which has hard coded A4 paper size.
Since my documents are for the Kindle, with screen size of 9 cm x 12.2 cm,
I tried replacing it with B7 (8.8 x 12.5), but the slight discrepancy in
length results in the last line cut up in the middle, so I want to use
paper size : custom. Alas, I can't find any example of where I stick my
'custom' dimensions and in what format. The code calls
for printer.setPageSize(QPrinter.B7 or A4 in the original)
Anyone has any experience in using QPrinter page size funtcion with custom
page size? How do I list the width and length? This is the variable from
trolltech's web site: enum *PageSize* { A0, A1, A2, A3, ..., *Custom**)*
Thanks
