In a way this is a nice solution, and more interesting is that all this time 
the 'pstools' thing was there, and i have used it too, though it did not 
occur to me. But there are some practical problems with this solution. I am 
giving you all the details:

The input pdf was 420 KB, exported from OOo 2 with quite a few equations and 
matrices and Bangla text in Solaiman Lipi. 

The output gs file is 369 MB, and it took 29 minutes 4 seconds to complete the 
command. All this time no other user process was running. 

The next step was to create a pdf from this ps, because, i have to send it, 
say to the printer. And this again too 11 minutes 3 seconds for ps2pdf14, and 
the output pdf was 98 MB. And the screen resolution is quite bad too, though 
i think this will come OK in print, because gs print-optimizes it. The page 
format is US letter, though i think it can be adjusted with the options. 

And see, the original file was not very big, it was 36 A4 pages of 12 point 
Solaiman Lipi and some maths. And you know, how resource hungry gs is, does 
not allow anything else to de done, at least on my Athlon 1800+. 

So, i don't think it was a practical solution in that sense.

In continuation of my last mail, it seems for PDF files it is even simpler.
One needs to  run

  pdfbook -2 input.pdf output.pdf


You may need to download pdfbook, if you don't have it already.

Cheers,

[Ankur-core] The 'r+a' Problem

2006-01-05 Thread dipankar das
As dear friend Jamil Ahmed suggested in feeding bugs to the hungry parrot, 
here are two more:

The 'khanda-ta', when typed in directly from the keyboard by 'Shift+8' does 
not go properly with the newline algorithm. Write any word with that, and 
type more characters before the word that has it, and it will break the line 
before this 'khanda-ta', though no interim space is there.

The table heading. In the ongoing document, i inserted a table, with no extra 
formatting, just some plain words in Solaiman Lipi. Now, in the PDF, the 
table is coming with a bold-and-not-so-beautiful-italic of those same words. 
This thing maybe pretty simple, that some hidden formatting of the table is 
remaining somewhere in the default. But the odt is always showing the correct 
thing, and the pdf always showing them that way. 

And is there any way to copy and paste some small amounts of Bangla text from 
the odt file into a graphics program like 'dia'? The OOo Draw is either not 
very easy and elegant till now, or maybe it will need a lot of training, but 
i need some very simple diagrams, with some Bangla text in it, is there any 
alternative?

Thanks for that. This pdfbook thing is interesting, i downloaded and installed 
it. But, the problem is that, it is doing the work in a preformatted way, and 
that way does not fall in line exactly with the need. Like, i changed the 
page size to a custom 13 cm by 21 cm with 2.4 cm margins on all sides, a size 
quite near to the usual Bangla book size, and the pdf now had 84 pages. Now 
running 'pdfbook -2 input.pdf output.pdf' was putting page 1 and 84 on 
the first paper page, page 2 and 83 on the second, and that too in the 
reverse orientation of the first, and then 3 and 82, in the same orientation 
of the first, and so on ... . The orientation is no problem, after getting 
the printout, we can physically arrange them. But, the problem is, the pages 
must come in order. Can you suggest any wayout? I tried the group '-s' option 
with pdfbook, but it was of no avail. The pdfbook.c file is there. And you 
are all learned technical people, can any of you come to any help? I think 
this pdfbook is a very good direction.

Sorry, in this msg you mentioned the distro was SUSE 9.2

I will check again in the Fedora box with SDG's patched ICU. :-)

Hello Friends

Unlike in Ahmed's FC system, on the SuSE 9.2 system, after inserting
the icu.tar.bz2, with OOOo 2, the 'r+a`' is coming, only a
'non-joiner' has to be inserted within, that is, 'r' + 'non-joiner'
(that will show nothing on the screen, the 'dash' key while in Probhat
layout) + 'conjoiner' (that is the '/' key) + 'Ja', this whole
sequence gives the wanted 'ra`', 'ra' and 'Ja-phala'. Though, as i
reported to Dasgupta, it is a bit cumbersome, but it works alright.
