Image and PDF converter: Image2PDF 2.4 for all Amiga systems
At the end of August, we reported on Bernd Assenmacher's PDF2JPG tool, which can be used to convert the images contained in PDFs into JPG images. As the author has developed further tools, Image2PDF (converts images into PDFs) and PDF2PDF (converts PDFs into copy-protected PDFs), there was a request in the subsequent comments to the news article to bundle these tools into one. This has been realised with the present Image2PDF version 2.4, which is available for AmigaOS 3, 4, AROS and MorphOS. The author has kindly provided us with a few explanations of the new version:
"The new version can do even more, such as "PDF2Image" (i.e. convert PDF not only into JPG or PDF format, but also into other formats such as PNG, BMP, GIF or ILBM/IFF). PDF2Image" also includes options such as "scaling" and "PDF2JPG" allows you to set the compression quality of the JPG image.
As another feature I have added an image scaling function "Image2NewSize", which can scale images to the desired resolution while maintaining the aspect ratio. (The result is of course highly dependent on the source image used). All other functions known from "Image2PDF V2.3" are of course still available. With "Image2PDF", you can now also scale the images at the same time by setting "ImageSize" as the format. I am already working on "Image2PDF V2.5", where the whole thing should be a bit more intuitive and where a function for converting images into other image formats will be added.
The beta versions can be downloaded from my my website and tried out. I am well aware that there are good tools that offer such functions, but since "Image2PDF" is all about images and PDFs, I try to include as much as possible.
I hope that many people will enjoy the tool and that it can help with tasks involving scans, images and PDFs.
I would be delighted to receive feedback by e-mail. Everyone who writes to me will receive his/her personal key." (dr)
