Re: Converting Color/Grayscale Text Scans to Black & White
Is there any way to do this to an existing PDF? I've encountered a large number of scanned books that I am trying to make more readable.

Re: ScanTailor for OSX is here
It's dead, Jim. :/
Scan Tailor (I have the 25 October 2010 build, can't seem to find more info on it) breaks for good under Yosemite.

global adjusts to PDFS revisited
This is a topic that has been revisited before, but with more and more sources of pre-scanned books as PDF online, I'm trying to find the most efficient way to make them readable and as crisp and clear as possible. Many have yellowed pages and so on. I've got the following workflow down… take such a...

Re: Apple iPad announced
Ok, if that's the route you want to go, a Marxist like Marcuse or Tafuri would suggest that you are the exception that proves the rule. By proving that the it has room for you, the system is able to stave off challenges. I'm curious, do you convert your books to text files? What sort of open system ...

Re: Scan Tailor
I found a program called smallimage (for the mac) and preprocessed them. now all the files are the same dpi. great news! except that now ALL the pages are postage stamp size in a sea of white (see above picture). Judging from your method of estimating, all the images are roughly 100x100 dpi but scan...

Re: Scan Tailor
Hmm... indeed that could be the problem. The first type of page is 1649 x 1275 at 150 dpi, the second is 1100 x 850 at 100 dpi. I tried it under Parallels (which is really the same thing as running Windows XP) and it was much faster but the same problem. A number of different sizes are indeed given ...

Re: Apple iPad announced
I see your point, but essentially we already live in that world. Plenty of things to be hostile about and I'm certainly hostile about 'em. Then again, I'm using the iPad to set myself free of the tyranny of physical books, so it has certain advantages and all the violence against it seems misplaced....

Re: Apple iPad announced
Yes, I've heard that it's just for people who consume. Absolutely, I totally agree. I consume books by the truckload for my job, which is teaching at a big university. So I loaded up my iPad with 500 books synced via an app called Papers. The interface is still wonky: it doesn't allow highlighting o...

Re: Scan Tailor
Hi, I love Scan Tailor! I tried the Mac OS version but couldn't get it to run. I'm running Scan Tailor in Crossover on the Mac, which uses WINE to run Windows apps. Anyway, I've set to take some books out of DJVU and into PDF and, while doing so, I like to clean up the pages. I didn't scan the forme...
