[abcusers] PDF

2001-03-28 Thread P J Headford 

I can't see the point in PDF, myself. But I do get sent files as PDF,
and then all I can do with them is look at the or print them. Seems a
bit limited. Anyone know if there's a cheap method of converting PDF to
something useful like a TIF, GIF or JPG which I could then feed to
Midiscan or similar?

software that Frank compiled?

It is. But apart from ABC there simply isn't any music notation file
format standard enough to be useful on Internet. And ABC has some
serious limitations.

GhostScript can do that, although I have problems seeing why you'd want
to do that with PDFs generated from ABC. After all if you have access to
the ABC file, there are other, far more reliable import paths to a
non-ABC music notation program. Also - I haven't tried it myself, but I
doubt the output from common abc2ps applications are clear enough for
programs like Midiscan to use.

Further to previous message - try Audio Works Ltd  product WAV2MIDI 

http://www.audioworks.com/demo/demo.htm

then midi - noteworthycompose and abc2nwc to convert midi into abc - though
I 
guess, at this point in the conversion there will be other things to use!

Re: [abcusers] Making PDF (Was: ABC standards committee webpage)

2001-03-28 Thread Jack Campin 

 if you have an HP Laserjet 6P, the printer driver can create
 pdf files directly. [...] I haven't looked to see, but you
 should be able to download the driver from Hewlitt Packard's site.

I just tried and it looks like there aren't any Mac or Unix drivers on
their site - Windows and OS/2 only.  Maybe Phil has a third-party one?
