Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Larry Stone (lcs8) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: PDF media filters based on XPDF tools Initial Comment: Here are a pair of mediafilters to process PDF files with the XPDF suite (see http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ ) replacing the one based on PDFBox. They invoke an external command, which must be configured. It has been tested on Unix and the concept ought to work on Windows (and certainly on MacOS X). XPDF2Text is a replacement for the existing PDF media filter, it creates extracted text using the pdftotext program. I've observed it is about 3 times as fast, and much more reliable, than PDFBox. XPDF2Thumbnail creates a thumbnail image for the first page of the PDF. This is especially effective for 3D PDF renderings of engineering models, but works fine for any document. See the instructions in xpdf-filters.html to install it. The thumbnail filter needs an additional image library, but the text extractor doesn't need anything else. This code has been tested with DSpace 1.5.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=319984&aid=2745393&group_id=19984 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
