I was wondering this myself, as we need the ability to process at least PDFs. I think the answer is, yes, you do have to render to pixel first. At least that's the conclusion I've come to. I checked leptonica protos for a covert *from* PDF, but there doesn't seem to be any. They do have various methods to convert *to* PDF, but not the other way around. I guess that means we just use another open source library to do that first.
If you find a good solution, let me know. That's one of my upcoming tasks :) On Tuesday, December 11, 2012 9:36:05 AM UTC-5, thanatos thanatica wrote: > > Unfortunately, I could not find a list of supported image input types > anywhere, so I just started to play with what I can produce.
