Hello everyone
i'm writing my final exam in bachelor of science / computer science.
I've got a problem with converting a pdf on an android device. Recently I've added the JAR's from iText and thought, that would be helpful.... :\
My problem is the converting of a pdf to an image-file like jpeg. If this does not worl, i want to display the pdf in my own app, without an intent to ThinkOffice or AdobeReader.
The pdf is saved in /sdcard/some_folders/test.pdf. Now i want create the image in this folder to.
Can anyone help me?
Sorry, if this is the wrong thread, but XDA dont let me post in another one

Hello all,
I have been trialling Resco Audio Recorder (http://www.resco-net.com) to record meetings on the XDA, and I've found it to be quite well suited to this task.
I have discovered, however, that should a meeting extend beyond an hour or so, the resulting file cannot be converted from the proprietary RAF file type to WAV or anything usable with the built-in export function due to space concerns.
I found a newsgroup posting (http://www.ppczone.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=143) which mentioned a PC export utility from Resco which I have managed to get (attached).
If you record meetings, I can recommend this product and the attached RAF-to-WAV conversion utility.

Thanks for the tip, oh yea and the file! :wink:
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you Codenix
I had recorded over 3 hours worth of some important discussions and not knowing that resco has a 34 min 40-odd seconds limit for exporting .raf audio into mp3/wav. It is still evident in their v4.0+. Their forums weren't helpful addressing this issue either or very few people actually experienced this.
The utility you attached was a life-saver! Thanks!
I have been able to salvage my .raf

Lifesaver. Thought I'd have to go convert within RAR. Thank you very much
Hi every one,
Im looking for a possibility to view 3D-Content on my Mobile...
In office we are creating 3D-Pdfs of our architectural Project as little help in discussion,...
lot of Polygons but small in size (about 3MB as PDF, in Vrml it is about 30MB!!!)
Any Idea, which tool and format to use for viewing on my mobile (HD2)?
Maybe someone could help...
Thx.
Does anyone know of an app that will allow me to view tif files?
My efaxes come over via tif format and while I can read all my pdf and doc files that I get emailed for work, I still cant view my efaxes. I have done a search but it appears that all the image viewing programs support: bmp, jpg, gif, png but that is about it.
TIA

read somewhere beamreader from the market can read tifs
I read that too, but it appears that that feature was in a pre release version, current version (or at least the free trial, and I'm not about to drop $4 till I know for sure) only seems to support pdf files, if I browse to folder with a tif in there it doesn't show it, and when clicking on a tif file in a file explorer there is no option to open it with beamreader. I head that the 3D gallery and astro image viewer work but they only allow viewing of the 1st page, but in my tests it would just show a black screen, either way not very useful.
From what I've read, as I am in the same boat, there is no native / built-in ability at the android system level to interpret / display .tif format files.
I actually wrote a filter in gmail that forwards my faxes to my home email server, where, upon receipt, a .procmail script launches, uses imagemagick to convert the .tif to .jpg, and then sends the attachment back to myself, just so I can view the fax from my phone.
I had thought about doing the same thing, so I would probably just use a pdf printer to convert it, since I believe a single pdf file would be better able to handle multiple pages rather than having multiple jpg files.
Actually in a pinch I did discover this: http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf/
Coupled with Opera Mini takes about 2 mins to get a pdf of the file emailed to my phone.

That's the beauty of ImageMagick, between that and ffmpeg, there's not much you can't convert.
My needs were slightly different, but I'd be remiss if I didn't reply and say that with the simple addition of 'GhostScript' installed on the same machine, ImageMagick will auto-convert a multi-page tiff to a multi-page PDF, no questions asked.
resco photo manager and pocket xnviewer can read tif.
And the Resco photo manager works so smooth,but it can not bookmark a tag layer,so if you next time read the tif file ,it begins from tag 1. And does not have a go to function. If some one can solve these problem I'd rather chose to spend some time converting pdf files to tif files.
Sorry,I did not notice the question is about android phone.But some one geek can help me?
Guys does anybody knows how to convert PDF of language other than English to EPUB?
It seems when we use software like callibre the font of the book becomes jumbled up and unreadable.
If anybody knows the solution please post ASAP.
translate pdf using google translator or similar tool and then convert to epub.

Thanks for rply, but that is not what i meant. I have a pdf file in Hindi and I want to convert into epub without changing language. That is HINDI.pdf-Hindi.epub.
EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that the text display can be optimized for the particular display device used by the reader of the EPUB-formatted book, although EPUB now also supports fixed-layout content. The format is meant to function as a single format that publishers and conversion houses can use in-house, as well as for distribution and sale. It supersedes the Open eBook standard.

I don't think Hindi can be reflowed according to the screen sizes, thus eliminating the possibility of epub creation.
It's interesting... I'll look it up.
is the pdf you're trying to convert searchable?
Try this
1. Convert the file to epub in Calibre (this will only work if the file actually uses Hindi text and not images/glyphs)
2. Get a Hindi font - An open source/freely licensed one if you plan to redistribute the document.
3. Use Sigil to embed the Hindi font into the file - you'll get more help for this part on the Sigil or epub authoring sub-forum.
sry for late rply, but yes the book is searchable. Google for this "Harry Potter aur Paras Pathar".
Just read philosopher's stone?
OR
Attach / PM me the pdf. I'll give it a try
Hey guys,
I normally lurk the forums as I'm always able to come to some sort of solution, but this time I'm truly lost! I've tried everything to find a PDF viewer for WM7 that has a search function. I need an app that can search for keywords in a PDF by tomorrow and I have tried everything from:
1. DotNetNuzzi PDF Viewer-- incredible lag, completley inoperable.
2. Convert PDF to .doc ( using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, NitroPDF 7) to search keywords in WM7 Office-- PDF formatting goes to complete ruin, no use.
3. Convert PDF to ePUB (using various online converters/standalones) to read via eBook readers from marketplace (Freda, Bookvisior)--PDF formatting goes to complete ruin, no use.
I don't know what to do, and I need to be able to search large PDF files by tomorrow. Please helppp me!
Hmm... normally I wouldn't recommend this, but maybe something like Google Docs (plus, if needed the Find On Page commandlet for IE on Windows Phone)? Another, even hackier option, would be to use RemoteDesktop (an app, does exactly what it says) and open the PDF on a PC instead. Yeah, it would lag, but a "large" PDF is likely to realllly strain the phone anyhow.
Searching PDFs is surprisingly difficult; I believe the default viewer on Android can't do it either. What do you need this particular capability for? There might be a better way. For example, I think the Adobe app lets you jump by page, so you could search text in another tool (that messes up the formatting, so long as it leaves the page breaks) and then jump to the relevant page. Alternatively, does the PDF have headers? You could navigate by table of contents, if the headers are sufficiently fine-grained...
