SimpleAnamorphicConverter

SimpleAnamorphicConverter is a lightweight application capable of generating anamorphic images from standard graphic files, giving you the possibility to save them as PDF documents. It shows a graphical representation that explains the perspective of anamorphic pictures and how they are created.

It has a single panel that reveals all these details, inviting you to open an image by dropping it on the window while navigating disk directories using Windows Explorer or another file navigator. The tool's not explicit concerning the supported file types. However, we've noticed that it works with JPG.

You can preview the source graphic file in the first pane along with the converted anamorphic image in the second one, since it's rendered on the spot, as well as find out the imaginary image size from the user's view (width and height, in centimeters).

To create a new PDF document, you just need to click a button. The program doesn't implement options for modifying the default directory and file name. It's saved with the "output.pdf" name in the same directory as the application.

Worth noting is that a new document automatically overwrites the previous one without confirmation, so you should make sure to copy or rename the file to not lose it. There are no features dedicated to configuring output PDF settings, such as page size.

There is no setup kit involved, but you must have Java installed on the PC. The downloaded files can be copied to a preferred location on the hard disk or removable storage unit to effortlessly launch SimpleAnamorphicConverter on any computer with Java.

It doesn't alter the system registry configuration or create files on the disk without letting you know about it. The source code is available in the downloaded package.

Although its set of features is a bit light, SimpleAnamorphicConverter delivers a straightforward solution for creating anamorphic images from regular photos and saving results in PDF format.
