Yep, that's actually what I was just about to do ! And I agree that it is a much better solution. There is a nice PDF module for Python that I wanted to try ... /v PS: The only thing is that most PDF frameworks trust the bounding boxes mentioned in the PDF file, and there seems to be no cross-platform way (short of rendering using gs and such, which takes ages) to determine the "visual" bounding box. Skim is very good at that, which is why I felt the functionality would fit within it - the script I will come up with will have to be a hack. -- | Vincent Beffara Section de Mathématiques | | 2-4 rue du Lièvre | | Tél: (+41) 22 379 11 45 Case postale 64 | | Fax: (+41) 22 379 11 76 1211 Genève 4 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suisse | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Skim-app-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/skim-app-users
