Converting PDFs toN770's Resolution

Hi, one way to do this might be to use ImageMagick tools to first convert the PDF to a series of images, scale them to the desired resolution and then rebuild the PDF from the images. That would go something like the following: convert -scale new_widthxnew_height my-original.pdf individual-pages.png This should result to a series of images that are scaled down to the specified size. Then you can rebuild the pdf with convert individual-pages*.png my-new.pdf Actually, it seems to be possible to do an one-step scaling & conversion with convert -scale new_widthxnew_height my-original.pdf my-new.pdf but the intermediate step might be handy if you want to do some other kind of cosmetic changes to the images in addition to the scaling. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Converting PDFs toN770's Resolution
Hello all, I have a bunch of PDF files I would like to read on my 770. These PDFs are an eZine and consist of purely heavy graphics set to a normal PC screen resolution. The internal PDF reader was unable to coupe with the heavy task, so I've tried Evince and had better luck, but still, it's slow turning pages and to read it I need to zoom in and then the navigation is very uncomfortable... I am running an Ubuntu Edgy box at home, and I though I could convert the files to the 770's screen resolution - optimized screen resolution and smaller file size (some of them get as big as 14 MB(!) Is there something similar to the Media Converter script for PDF's? Any pdf-tool I can run on the file from a console on my Ubuntu box? Thanks! -- .::.
