iipsrv is extremely fast and easy to deploy (a single static fcgi binary).
i've learned now its iiif compliance, and i've just tried the branch
https://github.com/ruven/iipsrv/tree/iiif
works great, even if a bit undocumented, i looked the code to understand
the url:
http://{SERVER}/iipsrv.fcgi?iiif={IMAGE}.tif/full/full/0/native.jpg
but iipsrv serves only jp2 or tiff images.
are you aware of other decoding modules?

Re: [CODE4LIB] mass convert jpeg to pdf
Just thought I might plug some software we're developing to solve the book image navigation misery that Kyle mentions. http://ddmal.music.mcgill.ca/diva/ and a demo: http://ddmal.music.mcgill.ca/newdiva/demo/single.html We developed it because we were frustrated with the image gallery paradigm for book image viewing, and wanted something more like Google Books' viewer, but with access to the highest resolution possible. We also were frustrated with having to download large PDFs to just view a couple pages. Diva uses IIP on the back-end to serve out image tiles, so you're only ever downloading the part of the image that's viewable -- the rest is auto-loaded as the user scrolls. We've used it to display a manuscript that's ~80GB (total), with each image around 200MB. http://coltrane.music.mcgill.ca/salzinnes/experiments/diva-cci-tif/ It's also got a couple other neat features, like in-browser brightness/contrast/rotation adjustments via canvas.

Re: [CODE4LIB] mass convert jpeg to pdf
I’m similarly curious to hear if other people have done annotation with zoomable interfaces before. I have been trying OpenLayers' stock functions for this kind of thing for OurDigitalWorld, there is an example here [1]. Leaflet probably does this well too. The mapping tools do seem to have some slick drawing functions [2] though I have only used polygons. art --- 1. http://tiles.uwindsor.ca/ink/cecil/focus/swoda/pictures/assumption/09_1915/1 2. http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/draw-feature.html
Re: [CODE4LIB] mass convert jpeg to pdf
Annotorius has been integrated with OpenLayers [1] to support annotation of maps on zoomable images. Quite excellent work indeed, thanks to Rainer. As part of IIIF [2] and Shared Canvas [3] we have been targeting a similar OpenSeadragon integration with Annotorius and then making this a feature/modality in the Mirador image comparison environment [4]. Part of the roadmap for Mirador is to have annotation viewing and making integrated with OpenSeadragon (or similarly tiled) zooming. -Stu [1] http://annotorious.github.io/demos/openlayers-annotation.html [2] http://iiif.io/ [3] http://www.shared-canvas.org/ [4] http://iiif.io/mirador/ On Nov 10, 2013, at 12:34 PM, Edward Summers wrote: Annotorious [1] is a neat little JavaScript library for adding annotations to an image, and displaying them later.

[CODE4LIB] mass convert jpeg to pdf
We are in the process of migrating our digital collections from CONTENTdm to Omeka and are trying to figure out what to do about the compound objects -- the vast majority of which are digitized books. The source files are actually hi res tiffs but since ginormous objects broken into hundreds of pieces (each of which can be well over 100MB in size) aren't exactly friendly to use, we'd like to stitch them into individual pdf's that can be viewed more conveniently My game plan is to simply have a script pull the files down as jpegs which can be fed to imagemagick which can theoretically do everything I need. However, I've never actually done anything like this before, so I wanted to see if there's a method that people have used for combining lots of images into pdfs that works particularly well. Thanks, kyle
Re: [CODE4LIB] mass convert jpeg to pdf
I've done something like this in imagemagick, and it worked quite well, so I can vouch for this workflow. But just to clarify, I presume you will be creating static PDF files to place in the filesystem--not generate a PDF dynamically through Omeka when a user clicks to download a PDF (as in, Omeka files off an imagemagick process).

Do you need OCR? This script = http://bookscanner.pbworks.com/w/page/45609343/Homer%20bash%20script will OCR a directory of TIFFs (using Tesseract) and build a PDF using Tesseract. It's a little old, but I still use it pretty much every day. I think you'll need to have Ruby 1.9 installed, since the PDFBeads library uses Hpricot. There's lots of Document View/Book Widget/Page Turners...the Internet Archive one is good. I also really like the NYTime Document Viewer ( https://github.com/documentcloud/document-viewer ).
