You know about Eric Shulman's miniBrowser plugin, right? Let's you browse a page right inside a tiddler.
Firefox under linux can save a web page to a ps file. Then you can convert that file to a "real" PDF with the ghostscript ps2pdf utility. Probably have to go back and hand-craft any links you want to be live. The trade-off is that PS capture (and thus PDF) may not exactly resemble the original. Especially if dependent on fonts not available to linux. I believe this is the technique used by Acrobat -- print to a PS driver, convert to PDF. Nitro PDF claims to work with the OCR software built into latest MS Office suite, so you can get it "all". What would be cool (again!) would be a tool that would let you drag and drop a PDF file into TW, and create a link and thumbnail. I'm thinking that if I create my own thumbnail, with same name as the PDF but png extension, then a drag-n-drop script could know to look for the thumbnail and create an image link. Not perfect automation, but a start. -- Mark On Feb 15, 10:52 pm, Anthony Muscio <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah Glass, foggy Glass at that. > > But it acts a bit like a photograph, you know moment in time, all the > elements captured in 2D. if you really needed to you may be able to use OCR > (Optical Character Recognition on it).
