What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

According to svn info: Revision 85
OS: Ubuntu 10.04

I am trying to compile the app on Fedora 13.

[alec@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 15 03:36:55

I have edited the installer file to suit Fedora 13 environment.

Please see fedora_installer.sh.

The compilation runs ok but the final stage shows:

Saves only by portions of 100 pages pdfs, need unlimited pages

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Visual C++ 2010 x86 runtime on Windows 7 64-bit
2. Run papercrop, open PDF, click on the first page in a vain attempt to give 
it focus
3. Press Down arrow

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I wanted to go to the next page so I could process that one.

Instead, the cursor in the options pane on the right (which I don't think 
should be there at all, at the moment) moved to the next option.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.51 rev117

Windows 7 Professional x64, service pack 1

Please provide any additional information below.

I *think* this is related to the 64-bitness, but that's strictly a guess on my 
part.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Normal conversion
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected smaller font, adjusted to Kindle screen. I converted because the font 
on the original PDF would be too small when displayed on Kindle and I ended up 
with a very big font instead.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest version. Windows 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.
Tried converting a NEJM 3 column essay.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Saving

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Revision 128, on Kubuntu 12.10.


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a PDF file;
2. Choose "process all pages";

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A folder containing all the output images is expected. An empty folder is 
produced instead.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.31, on Windows 7 RTM.

Please provide any additional information below.
The "process current page" feature works correctly, with multiple output 
images for the current page, but the "process all pages" feature only 
produces an empty folder.

I executed the bat file "build.bat". it needs a file named "paperCrop.sln" 
which I cannot find it in the source directory. Did you forget to commit the 
file or something else ? Plz give a me a hand ,thank you

Is it possible to have differents "settings" for every page?

This is how the correct resolution can be calculated for the Kindle 3:

1. Use GIMP to create a 600x800 black layer and save it as 'test.jpg'
2. On the commandline (imagemagick): convert test.jpg test.pdf
3. Upload test.pdf to Kindle (mount as USB storage and copy to 'documents' 
folder
4. View test.pdf on Kindle and take a screenshot (Shift-Alt-G)
5. Copy screen_shot-NNNN.gif to computer
6. Open the GIF in GIMP and use the erase tool to remove the Kindle UI from the 
screenshot
7. Use "Image->Autocrop Image" and read off the resolution from the titlebar 
(551x735)
8. Round to the next largest even resolution (552x736)
9. Edit config.lua to update the device resolution:

kindle3={552,736}
--device=kindle3

10. Use paperCrop to create readable PDFs for the Kindle 3

Attached is a screenshot from the Kindle 3 showing a converted two-column PDF 
using the above resolution.

Thank you for writing such a useful program! I think it would be helpful to add 
this resolution to the default config.lua for other Kindle 3 users.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am working at Windows 7 Professional x64
2. I am using Kindle 2 config file.
3. So, sometimes program raises an exception.

This is about config or somthing else? It was tested on rev62 && rev61.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

  While the png outputs for one page processes looks 
  okay, the output pdf is rotated and distorted in 
  different directions (depending on output settings).

  For some files, the "Error: Bad bounding box in Type 
  3 glyph" Showed in terminal many, many times but it 
  may be unrelated.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

  Version: 91
  Ubuntu 11.04 32bit (language: "Taiwan" Chinese)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open the attached pdf 
2. process current page
3. convert processed pages to PDF

What is the expected output? A proper pdf with text and figures
What do you see instead? Upside-down pdf. Actually the coordinates are always 
screwed up no matter what section of the pdf is selected.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
paperCrop_0.51_rev117, Windows 7

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. set output format .jpg/png
2. open an colorful pdf,process all pages
3. the yellow part of the original pdf will be blue in the output images

What is the expected output? 
as the original color is

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
it's ok when output pdf,bug only occur when output images
very nice feature to output color images,
hope to correct this bug in the next release, thank you very much
btw,could it possible to make 256(color instead of gray) as an option which  
will reduce the size of the output files and achieve an acceptable result

thank you

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. take a pdf with two columns
2. use vector pdf output OR kindle 3 output. 
(e.g. input two column, output vector pdf + portrait vertical scroll single 
image per file 
OR
 input two column, output kindle 3: gives images no pdf with text preserved)
3. vector pdf output gives a not correct output (using vector pdf: does not 
crop and convert to pdf in the order it showed during processing), while kindle 
3 output gives images (useless)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Pdf files (not images file) cropped in the correct order. Instead i get pdf 
files completely messed up or image files (not utilizable on kindle touch: poor 
quality image, text not preserved).


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
paperCrop_0.51_rev117 on windows 7 64 bit.


Please provide any additional information below.
File input and two different file output given below. First is vector pdf, 
second kindle 3.
Kindle 3 output given below would be fantastic and the final solution for two 
column pdf conversion  if only the output file would be a pdf with text 
preserved. There is a great program called cut2col-v34c.jar (which you can find 
here http://www.cp.eng.chula.ac.th/~somchai/cut2col/ )that output pdfs with 
text but yours program is far better in detecting the crop order (crop areas 1, 
2, 3 etc). It only does not give a pdf output which is very bad when you try to 
read the document on kindle touch (no correct text zooming, not good quality 
image, moving around the image is a pain, etc.)
Could you please talk with this programmer of cut2col and work together to make 
a this tool even better? (correct crop order and pdf with text preserved)?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download the ubuntu_install script
2. Compile and execute the program find a PDF and process with the default 
settings
3. Click "process with this page"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No error and a new PDF would be generated.
However, now:
user@user-laptop:~/Downloads/papercrop$ ./paperCropLauncher 
Xdbe not supported, faking double buffer with pixmaps.
pFileName=presets/default preset.lua
pFileName=script/(landscape) vertical scroll (outputs multiple images).lua
./paperCropLauncher: line 2:  8568 Illegal instruction     ./paperCrop

And exit.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN version

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When I choose output as multiple images, it automatically divides a long 
page into pages of screen size, which is nice. But it does not distinguish 
between figures and texts so many times the figures get to be cut into half and 
split into two pages. 

Is it possible to detect the figures and keep them on a single page? I don't 
mind if extra space has to be inserted in between. With this function, 
papercrop would be perfect for me.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download papercrop 47
2. extract all files from zip
3. i tried runing all three included applications 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
either a error message or a black window

I removed libboost1.42-dev since that's not necessarily the correct version for 
a given ubuntu (I'm on 10.04, which uses 1.40 by default).  I switched it for 
the standard/generic libboost-dev which made it work.

Don't know where to post a suggestion, so I post it here
If not suitable, please delete it.

The text in original pdf is converted to image, is it right?
I don't find any option to make papercrop to keep text in raw format, even in 
config.lua.
Is it possible to still keep the text in string, instead to image format, which 
can make the text searchable and notation available.
Thanks for providing this excellent app

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Trying to automatically process a book scanned with two book pages appearing 
on each pdf page, with a thick black line in the middle.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
>> I expect papercrop to process two book pages on a pdf page like it would 
process a two columns paper. I think that the problem is that the thick black 
line in the middle (that is the book binding fold appearing in the middle of 
the two book pages on each pdf page) takes the entire page height, and makes it 
seem that there is an image on the entire page, rather than paragraphs on the 
left, a line in the middle, and paragraphs on the right.

I say so because on each page where the black line in the middle happens not to 
be continuous on the whole page (because the scan didn't register as strongly), 
papercrop works perfect and treats paragraphs as paragraphs, and the parts of 
the middle line that we can see are treated as images.

Is there any solution to this?
Thanks!

Let me know if there is anything unclear.

It more a blueprint than an issue

For raster document, it would be very wonderfull if resampling quality was 
enhanced by using better algorythm like "Bicubic interpolation"  

See attached files : the one (cropped et resampled manualy) with photoshop 
(using bicubic mode) has better readability/quality 

This filter exist in freeimage lib :
http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/fnet/html/494E93DF.htm
http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/fnet/html/2B709885.htm

If this is too complicated, a workaround could be to add an option in the 
config file to prevent resampling

I'm using the last version of papercrop 0.43 rev 19
I've tryed all options and to change lua code but i can't find a way to obtain 
good resampling nor prevent resampling

It would be useful to make configurable the quality of the output image.

1. Run 'ubuntu_installer3.sh'. All the necessary packages are installed.
2. However, compilation fails with a message:

the above packages are installed, and libfltk1.1-dev has 'include' files 
installed in '/usr/include/FL'.
I tried 'export FLTK_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/FL' also, before running
the script. But that did not help.

The version of papercrop I tried to compile is downloaded from svn by the ubuntu
installation script.
The operating system I tried to compile on is Debian-7.0.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Take the attached PDF file and try to convert in 2 column mode.
2. You will see that the first column gets assigned to crop 2, the second - the 
crop 1 for the first page.  The order of crops for the other pages is correct.
3. This seems to happen because the first column starts lower.

It would be good to be able to enforce the left-to-right order of priority for 
the crops in 2 column papers.

I'm using version paperCrop_0.45_rev61.zip on Windows.

PaperCrop 0.31. OS: Ubuntu 9.04, Wine


Please provide any additional information below.

On config.lua we find this setting:
nr_of_pages_per_pdf_book = 100;

And later on in the function "output_image" we find:
//* if (book_pages.nr_of_pages < nr_of_pages_per_pdf_book) then *//

This causes the page nr.100 never to be included in any of the files.
Changing it to <= solved the problem for me, but ideal would be if the last 
page appeared both as the last page of the 1st file and 1st page of the 2nd 
file.

Any insights?

BTW. this program is a dream. Small, concise, clear, and powerful as a rocket. 
Congratulations.

Thanks.

is it possible to modify the "fontsize" of the output in reflow mode, so 
basically how many words there are in each line? the standard output for the
