I'm trying to use convert, I have installed the imagemagick. I use this line:convert *.jpg test.pdf but I'm only able to convert to pdf 1 single jpg file, not multiple files at once. When there's more than one file, I get the following error: Segmentation fault
View 5 Replies View RelatedI use Linux for my everyday work but lately I've been faced with a trouble when I send out file printouts from my browser from my Debian system to (normally) window$ systems, where they are not readable. Is there a way for me to convert the postscript files into pdf format? Most window$ users will have some sort of pdf reader installed but I am still to find one user that has Ghostscript and Ghostview installed. where can I find the TTF fonts that are shipped with every standard installation of Debian? I'm sometimes forced to print files through a windows system and because the fonts loaded in that system are not the ones I use in Debian (URW Gothic L, as an example) I end up having my official documents disfigured. If I can carry around with me a ready-to-install fonts package I can get over this obstacle.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do I make imagemagick convert things one at a time? I know how to make imaggemagick convert all pages of a pdf into individual jpeg files by storing it all in the RAM at once but if there isn't enough RAM, this will use swap like crazy and be suuuuuuuper slow.
Here is the command for the "crazy swap-using" way:
convert --units PixelsPerInch -density 150x150 filename.pdf filename.jpg
I keep trying to convert a bunch of jpg files into pdf, but ImageMagick just seems to keep failing there. Well well, after three thousand fix and reinstall attempts (seriously, I've been trying to fix it for the last month or so), this is what I'm getting today:

I have a large number of scanned JPG images that I would like to convert into a single PDF file -- each image will be on its own page, and I want the pages to be in a certain order.What is the command for ImageMagick to take a batch of JPGs and convert them to PDF, and order the pages in a certain way.
(by the way: I am working on writing a Gentoo ebuild for convert2pdf at the moment, but until I get that worked out, I'd like to figure out how to do this using Imagemagick, which is already in the portage tree, and already installed)
I am trying to split a PDF into component pages that are of equal quality to the original. If I use display mypdf.pdf, then the PDF is split into pages of acceptable quality. The problem here is that I have to save each page individually. If, however, I use convert mypdf.pdf mypdf.bmp, I get the individual pages of the PDF in .BMP format (which is fine, but not exactly what I want), but the quality is substantially less than the original. I've tried dozens of combinations of commands to try to increase this quality, but to no avail.
Even if I do convert mypdf.pdf mypdfagain.pdf, there is a big loss of quality. Anyone familiar with splitting a PDF into individual pages without suffering a loss in quality?
Ideally, I would just save all the "scenes/frames" from display, but that feature unfortunately does not exist (though I may endeavor myself to add it if no formal solution exists).
NOTE: I think part of my problem might be: by using identify mypdf.pdf I can see that the resolution is specified, and when I convert it the resolution is much lower. This could be a source of quality loss, but I'm not familiar enough with image conversion to say that for sure. Whatever this command does, it removes the extra layer or whatever it is that prevents OCR from succeeding. I'd really like to understand that technology.. What is it about a PDF that allows an individual to embed some meta-data into every page of the PDF so that the only thing seen, say, through OCR, or a text search function, is the embedded text?
When I run
convert *.jpg output.pdf
the output looks like this:
Why is the first page bigger then the others in the PDF? The original JPEGs were all the same size!
Anyone know of any programs to convert a postscript file to a gerber file? LinkCAD can do it, but, it is very expensive and I can't get the demo to run.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an existing bind setup, which serves a local DNS zone: merlin.local.
I would like to setup a subzone, below merlin.local, (preferably ad.merlin.local) to be used by an M$ AD domain, and thus M$ DNS servers. I would like to then be able to lookup addresses in both of the zones mentioned from any machine on my network.
I thought that this would be as simple as creating a zone delegation in bind, however when I have done this, and setup an M$ domain using ad.merlin.local as it's DNS name. Whilst this hasn't presented me with any errors, as such, I have been unable to come up with a setup which allows me to lookup addresses in both the merlin.local domain and the ad.merlin domain. To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what configuration I need to perform to allow this to happen, I stupidly assumed it would just work!

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is probably more for a OpenOffice forum but maybe you can help me to. I have some postscript fonts that i have to use but cant get it to work in OpenOffice..i have installed Ubuntu 10,04 and its working fine, also this Specimen Font Viewer can see that font but i need it in OpenOffice..Is it that the font is postscript type1, or is it that the font is not unicode(its yuscii) and how to solve it if its possible?Is there an alternative to Word processing that can use a font like that and be free?

I want to make a page in postscript or pdf format containing four lines of text and two png images.
Would you know an easy way to concatenate my text file with the two images in a ps or pdf file?
I need a solution that works via command line only as this is for a script.
I use redhat 5 for this and would prefer not having to install any extra software.
I want to crop a postscript poster. it is an A0 size, and I want to crop it into exactly four pieces to print on four A2 pages, pack them in my bag, and go to the conference (actually a long trip). Is there a way to use terminal, to crop this file? I rather use terminal instead of Gimp or other graphical packages.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI own an Iomega NAS enclosure. It is basically a card with 2 sata drives attached and a network card that runs an small web interface. To make a long story short. The controller card has went bad. One drive dropped out of the mirrored set.... and then came back in and attempted to rebuild. Several hours later the drive dropped out again. I attempted to replace the drive and the controller would not rebuild at all.
To summarize. I have accepted that the controller card is toast and want to proceed assuming one drive is compromised and the other still has salvageable data (About 18 GB needs recovered) I took the presumed "good" drive.. attached it to a standalone enclousre that takes it from sata to USB.When I look under disk manager (using Ubuntu 10) I see the following appear
1) the multi Disk device appears indicating it is part of a logical drive. Indented from that is
2) The "Array" Icon
3) The USB icon indicating a "peripheral device" Indented from that is
4) the Drive as a 500 GB hard disk (correct)
when i click on 4) I see 2 volumes 1 1GB volume with partition type Linux (0x83) and a 499 GB partition with the same type (0x83) However..because it thinks it is part of an array it is not mounting. HOW do I tell this drive "you are not in an mirrored array anymore...mount as a single drive"

A day or two ago I saw a weird file in my downloads folder, and deleted it. I'm not sure why I deleted it rather than wondering why there was a weird file there, but anyway...another one has shown up.
name: datetime
type: PS document (application/postscript)
It's an image. The top part of the image shows what I was doing in a terminal last night. The bottom part shows a folder I was browsing in Nautilus. I believe the top and bottom parts are from different times. I'm a little weirded out, it's like something is taking screenshots of what I'm doing. Anyone happen to know what program created these or why?
Updated to CUPS 1.4.3 from printing repository and was getting this while page test printing:

My Ubuntu Karmic install has a very useful Print-to-File Printer configured which allows me to generate Postscript and PDF files.
I have Windows XP running on Virtualbox and I want to be able to generate PDF files using this printer but there appear to be no Printers configured.
I am using CentOS 5.5 64 bit.
My work requires me to have a lot of postscript files. Hence i have elaborate names for easy identification. For example --- AP-1_Jul-Ctrl-noEqSA_bg25C_precip,U250-150_xy.ps. I am unable to open them using evince. I get a blank evince screen with loading written on it. The same file named as 1.ps opens in a jiffy. As of now evince quickly opens pdf files with long names. But i would not like to convert ps to pdf.
Even kghostview does not open these long-named files.
I am getting error like:
"/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux/RMagick2.so: This installation of RMagick was configured with ImageMagick 6.5.1 but ImageMagick 6.5.8-10 is in use. (RuntimeError)".
So, I am trying to install ImageMagick 6.5.1. But it gives me error like:
"ERROR: Can't create '/usr/local/man/man3".
And I am using Ubuntu 9.10.
I can't find the imagemagick package in the repositories. Anybody knows where I could find a binary for that SW? I tried to install from source but failed... Everything seemed fine up to when I tried "sudo make install", and there I got lots of errors. When i try to run any command, it does not find the libraries..

Here's my problem:I have a foomatic hpijs cups-driver for a HP Inkjet (Non-PS printer) installed. Printing from UNIX-hosts works. I have cups configured not to allow raw-printing (/etc/cups/mime.types: #application/octet-stream, /etc/cups/mime.convs: #application/octet-stream).I have now installed samba-printing, the cups PS-drivers plus the Windows PS-drivers are populated to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/ and get pushed to the WIN-Client.Problem is that when I print from a WINXP client, the printer outputs heaps of Postscript-text instead of my page.I have tried to debug this a bit but fail to find anything really useful.

I'm attempting to install ImageMagick on my shiny new CentOS 5 server, but it wants to install a bunch of X libs and ALSA to get that to run.
