soPdf will provide users with a PDF formatter for Sony Reader. It is based on sumatrapdf's version of mupdf and fitz.
The advantages of soPdf over pdflrf:
· Pdf to Pdf conversion
· Text and other contents of pdf are preserved
· Size of the output file is very close to size of input file and in some cases smaller than input file.
· Super fast conversion compared to pdflrf.
· Source available to make further changes
The disadvantages over pdflrf:
· Cannot yet convert the comic book. (Can be added since source is available)
· soPdf is in alpha stage. (ver 0.1)
The conversion algorithm is as follows:
· If user specified Fit2xWidth or Fit2xHeight then simply make two copies of pdf page from source into destination pdf file.
· Render the page and get the actual boundary box that encompasses all of the content in the page. This step removes all the white space border of the page.
· Try to split the file first by iterating all the elements that can fit in half a page and if that does not work then split the file half way with 2% overlap (this can be changed).
· If FitWidth or Fit2xWidth is specified then rotate the page by -90 deg.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Added reverse landscape mode. Ever wished that you could hold your reader the other way around in landscape mode and scroll thru the pages using your right thumb. Use reverse landscape mode and start reading from last page onwards.
