I have a bunch of PDF files I would like to read on my 770.
These PDFs are an eZine and consist of purely heavy graphics set to a normal
PC screen resolution.
I am running an Ubuntu Edgy box at home, and I though I could convert the
files to the 770's screen resolution - optimized screen resolution and
smaller file size (some of them get as big as 14 MB(!)
Hi,
one way to do this might be to use ImageMagick tools to first convert
the PDF to a series of images, scale them to the desired resolution
and then rebuild the PDF from the images.
That would go something like the following:
convert -scale new_widthxnew_height my-original.pdf individual-pages.png
This should result to a series of images that are scaled down to the
specified size.
Then you can rebuild the pdf with
convert individual-pages*.png my-new.pdf
Actually, it seems to be possible to do an one-step scaling & conversion with
convert -scale new_widthxnew_height my-original.pdf my-new.pdf
but the intermediate step might be handy if you want to do some other
kind of cosmetic changes to the images in addition to the scaling.
