LRFTools. Convert LRF to EPUB, HTML, PDF and RTF

[elinares]

Version 0.9.134 has regression errors. Corrected at version 0.9.136.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

[elinares]

I've incorporated an EPUB Viewer (see thumbs). Very basic for now, but using xhtmlrenderer from Sun (Supports CSS 2.1) as LGPL. I'm trying to share source code at sourceforge this weekend.

New Version 0.9.137 with new action 'view epubfile' . See initial post in a while...

P.D. I belive this starts to be a little off-topic (epub viewer must go to another thread?)

Don't use Sourceforge... better check Google Code or Mobileread's Dev Hub.

OK, I'll take a look on them.

Posted new version 0.9.137.

I've posted source code at http://code.google.com/p/lrf-epub-tools/

[elinares]

New version.

Very nice! Thanks for the continued effort on this badly needed tool.

Hi there...

Trying to run this tool ...

Using this command (on a mac in terminal):

java -Xms200M -Xmx300M -jar LRFTools-v0.9.148.jar action convert dir -HTML -noo


Getting these errors:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java :675)

Not quite sure what I might be doing wrong here...any ideas?

Thanks much...

It seems to be a problem with JVM (Java) Version. I've compiled LRFTools with latest SDK (1.6), so try to upgrade your JRE or SDK with it.
Thanks for testing,

@NoelEiffe: On a mac, I had to go to http://apple.com/downloads and explicitly search for java 1.6 .... but it *is* available. Just doesn't seem to download unless you go and ask for it. Oh, I had to relink the "Current" directory of the javas to point to the 1.6 one, too.

However, using a similar command:
java -Xms200M -Xmx300M -jar LRFTools-v0.9.148.jar convert "LRFs" -RTF -noo

I got this error:
Apple AWT Startup Exception : *** - [NSCFArray insertObject:atIndex:]} attempt to insert nil
Apple AWT Restarting Native Event Thread

Any clues about this? It said the same thing for -HTML and for -RTF and for -PDF. (Didn't try -XML) Oddly, converting to -EPUB *did* work (fantastically, thank you so very much!!) So I used Stanza to read the EPUB files and export as mobipocket, my final target.

But any idea why the insert nil error with 3 formats and not with EPUB ?

Hi, look at http://blog.nominet.org.uk/tech/2008...-event-thread/; it seems you have a problem with your java configuration.

Thank you!! What they describe in there is EXACTLY what I did. I was uneasy about it at the time, too. I'll go fix it.

Hola. Gran trabajo (good work)

Im using Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)

Some bugs i found:

- Otelo - Shakespeare.lrf makes a big crash.

- PDF: Bug with spanish fonts bad.jpg <-> good.jpg. Be nice to put an index from lrf metadatawith hyperlinks in the PDF.

- Epub: Double spaces between words? is wrong (ugly) with the Ebook viewer calibre and with the Stanza in the iphone with styles on.

- Epub: Images sometimes in incorrect order, varius epub null pointers, not working hyperlinks from TOC (clicking is not going to the relevant section)

In spanish:

- El lrf de otelo peta la JVM.
- PDF: Fallos con fuentes bad.jpg <-> good.jpg. Seria genial que metiera un indice a partir de la metada del lrf con hiperenlaces.
- Epub: mete doble espacios entre palabras? se ve mal con el Ebook viewer de calibre y con el stanza del iphone si aplicas estilos.
- Epub: imagenes a veces en orden incorrecto e incluso dadas la vuelta,fallos de null pointer, no funciona los hiperenlaces del TOC (si pinchas no va a la sección correspondiente)


Te adjunto ejemplos. Un saludote.

Try new version 0.9.158; some of the bugs are corrected.
I'll try to fix others when i get some time...

***sorry***
Me ayudaría si identificases cada bug con el libro y página que lo tiene. Si no, tendría que repasar todos los libros uno por uno!
***End sorry***
Thanks for testing,

Hey guys,

I am new to running Java. Could someone tell me how to run this program? I am running OS X10.5. I have downloaded it. Now when I try to run the command on the first page I get "Unable to access LRFT..." What is the process for running the program?

Thanks
Jon
