PDFCropper - Page 4

No, just one of them as far as I understand it. But you'd probably have to ask the author, because I'm not entirely sure. If you go to Help-->About you can see the computer ID information it generates. The button on the right lets you copy it to the clipboard (so you can look at it in, say, Notepad). You can see how it changes with USB drives by starting the program without any connected, then trying again with them connected.

Really appreciate your help, Kralik. I believe I have a clearer picture of how this program works.

All that is left is the barrier to part with 20 Euros.

Ermm... I have a question about this program?

What would be the proper settings to convert a CBR/CBZ to be read on an Astak Pocket Pro or Hanlin V5?

Can this be done with this program?

I've a problem with PDFCropper 1.63 with certain PDFs which return "java.lang.NullPointerException" on cropping. It worked very well with similar PDFs from the same publisher, but their recent files return just that error. I noticed that publisher has changed the PDF version from 1.4 to 1.5. PDFCropper.log file includes this line "java.lang.NullPointerException at org.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageNode.getAllKids(PDPageNod e.java:194)"

However, I tried to convert/merge that problematic PDF with the free pdfsam 2.0 app. It produced the same PDF (v1.5), but this time PDFCropper worked just fine.

Hope this helps someone.

Looks good, but it's very complicated.
Must distributed without JRE (Java) which most users they have it.

Since this thread was not visited for a long time and only deals with one program, I like to suggest using the cross platform open source tool Briss.

It is written in java, very mature and does its job - automatically. The only "drawback" is, you should write a little wrapper script within your path:

Code:

$> sudo youreditor /usr/local/bin/briss

#!/bin/bash
version="0.0.13"
cd "$(pwd)"
java -jar /whereever/is/installed/briss-${version}/briss-${version}.jar "${@}"

$> sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/briss

if do not like to type in something like

Code:

java -jar /wherever/briss-version/briss-version.jar -s myfile.pdf

everytime

A little howto an scripts for linux freaks: see here.
