New Unofficial Jpluck build
This one has added support for bookmark conversion from DOC files. It also spits out the html it generates to \\palmdochandlertest.html if you want to suggest instead of or something.

RE: JPluck and DOC files
Download the jpluck2.jar from http://xmission.com/~mlambert/jpluck2.jar . Rename the jpluck2.jar in Jpluck 2/build and put the new one in. Run it. It also adds the ability to drag a file to the URL field when creating a new site. You should be able to pluck DOC files now. If you can't; let me know. One bit of debugging code is still in there - it places \\palmdochandlertest.html in the root directory of the drive that Jpluck is installed on. That is so I(you) can look at the raw HTML that was used to create the plucker document. Mark PS. I emailed Laurens about integrating it again yesterday.

RE: JPluck and DOC files
If you could, run it like D:\Java\JDK1.4\bin\java.exe -jar "C:\Program Files\JPluck 2\jpluckx.jar" so that it shows the console output. That will give me a better idea of what is happening and if it actually is in the DOC format. The one I would also really like to do is Mobi format because I have a couple of books in the format, but I haven't been able to find any converters.

Progress note
I haven't made a whole lot of headway on extended table support for Jpluck, but I have made some. In the process, I have decided I would like to add my vote to somehow speed up table rendering (i.e. font change or something). On a bit happier note one of the reasons that I haven't made a whole lot of progress on the table support is because I am almost done with Mobi support and have started Peanut document support. Currently the Mobi support will extract the HTML and images and will fixup the image references in the HTML to the correct image names. The biggest difficulty so far is fixing up the internal links in the documents but that is almost done. One quick poll if you will. It may be possible for me to include support for encrypted Peanut files. The catch (both good and bad) is you will have to somehow supply the Registration name and CC info to convert it. Is this something that would be helpful or something that I would be better left out?

DOC and Mobi conversion
(Resend because of the flood) I have a test version of the DOC and Mobi converter. I have made a simple standalone jar that you can just pass in the file name on the command line for now. Laurens doesn't want to integrate it with JPluck and so this may be a better solution in the long run. It will extract the text as HTML with any images and bookmarks and saves them all in the same directory as the original file. It also tries to fixup links in the document. It currently doesn't fix links correctly that go to separate original documents. I also do not have the Peanut stuff working yet in part because I have no Peanut files to test with. Maybe after I finish the current stuff I will work on adding unplucking. By the way, because of some bugs in ImageIO and some better BMP support, documents with images come out much better if you run it with the 1.5 betas. I have tried betas 1 and 2, but not the beta3 snapshots. It is at http://www.xmission.com/~mlambert/UnDocker.jar (note case) Let me know how it works for you or if you would like a copy of the source.

Desktop vs JPluck
I have been trying to compare the Desktop and Jpluck a little recently and I have found one thing that puzzles me. If I pluck a large document with Jpluck the resulting file is 9,561,208 bytes, but if I pluck it in the Desktop (with matching settings as far as I can tell) it is 12,348,756 bytes in addition to taking over 4 times as long. Are others seeing similar results with large documents with images? I realize that Jpluck is missing a number of features that the Desktop has (Enhanced tables, executable flag, some of the image and output options), but if this holds true it might be something that could be improved it the Desktop. Unfortunately, I know zero python so I can't help much there.

RE: Desktop vs JPluck
Understand that I am not trying to start a good versus bad or Python versus Java discussion with this topic. I am, however, trying to point out the various weaknesses in the tools. In my mind the best scenario would be that both tools would produce very similar output in about the same amount of time. What I don't like seeing is a 20% or more difference in output size when the input is fairly simple html with images.

But it is low-hanging fruit that would make it simpler for those that have HTML.

I read 2+ books a week on my palm and always have my eye out for ways to make it easier. For example, I never work off TXT I always use txt2html on it first, I always replace ellipses with with …(sometimes thousands in a book) to make the file a little smaller? and because I like the look better, break books up by chapter(significantly speeds up display on my Clie) usually with htmlsplitter (rekenwonder.com), etc. This week I have read Knife of Dreams(Library), The Penultimate Peril(Own), Glory Road(Library), Plague Ship(Gutenberg), and Old Nathan(Bean Free Library) on my Clie.
