Suggestion: is it possible to leave text in string format? about papercrop

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No, currently it's not possible. It is in my todo list, but these days I don't 
have enough time to update the papercrop.

This feature would be my personal perfect Christmas gift!
Anyway, thanks for your effort.

Ya,
I think your program is perfect. The only thing missing is when a crop is auto 
segmented, it should scan its content for purely text or 
"graphics/equations/graph/picture/diagram." If the content is purely text, it 
should keep it text instead of make an image of that segment. This will help in 
highlighting important text when reading your book.
If the auto determination of "cropped segment's" content is hard, maybe user 
intervention can be used to determine which to keep as text and which to turn 
into image.

The difficult part is not in the detection algorithm, but in my lack of spare 
time. I need at least a week of full days work to implement this feature, and I 
cannot afford it these days.

I finished implementing this functionality. Currently, this is in early alpha 
stage. Ubuntu_installer for ubuntu linux should work after installing 
openjdk7-jre.
This functionality is enabled only if "vector PDF" output device is chosen. 
Only the default preset works.

I will upload Windows binary after some testing when I have time.
