Re: ScanTailor for OSX is here

I installed using the instructions in the first post of this thread. It seems like some of the images obtained from Googlebooks were rather awkward: some of them in jpg made ST crash on my minipc, while it had no problem with the particular PGN. Did you dl the that image I and run your OSX version o...

Re: ScanTailor for OSX is here

Here we go: I was working on a big format book partly scanned by myself, partly grabbed from googlebooks. The normal jpg images that I got using googlebooksdownloader caused no trouble, but this particular title page png (only 8 kB) made the program crash on my Mac: http://www.mediafire.com/?h8yaxy7...

Re: ScanTailor for OSX is here

The OSX version crashed when I tried to work on a folder with images in mixed formats. Tried the same thing on my pc, where it went smoothly.

Re: PDFBeads — Convert Scanned Images to a Single PDF File

I'm talking about effects that you get in mixed mode like the one in the right bottom corner. I would obviously like it to be darker and not washed out. http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/1637/dreyer1.jpg I remember Tulon answering this in a Scan Tailor thread and saying that it would be difficult to ...

Re: PDFBeads — Convert Scanned Images to a Single PDF File

I'm using the exact same software as suggested in the YouTube instruction video. Can't recall that the jbig2enc being a RubyPDF build. I tried -B 600 and the result is indeed something completely different. The size was tripled compared to the default value, but still a tad smaller than with Acrobat...

Re: PDFBeads — Convert Scanned Images to a Single PDF File

Thanks again.

I'm less concerned that I have to do the OCR scan with another program than with the fact that I get such low quality pictures in the PDF. Is there a way to manually choose the level of compression?

A portable version of PDFBeads sounds great!

Re: PDFBeads — Convert Scanned Images to a Single PDF File

Thanks! I ran the command loyukfai gave and ended up with a PDF file that was in fact a lot smaller than the result I got using Acrobat Pro on the same folder. BUT: The images also look A LOT more compressed and blurred. Not sure if this is because the batch of tiff images were a mix of greyscale/mi...

Re: PDFBeads — Convert Scanned Images to a Single PDF File

I find it quite hard to get a grasp on this. Could someone please give an example of the command line I should write to simply convert a folder of Scan Tailor converted files with text&images into a compressed PDF file? I constantly get the following messages when I try to fill in : "Warnin...
