Re: Printing from Linux

I have installed the freeoffice on Linux mint. But I cannot print the document from any of the product of freeoffice. But I can print from Libreoffice and other pdf documents from the same system. ... which means, there is hope ! :) Whenever I am giving the print command it gets cancelled. I have a...

Re: Document protection

An alternative would be to offer the book in the form of a PDF, but I'm concerned that it would be too easy for a person to buy one copy and then give copies to all their friends. I know that FlexiPDF allows setting a password to provide protection against unauthorized editing or printing, but is t...

Re: BUG: Install returns "file not found"

I am running Bazzite Linux. I downloaded the RPM file. I doubleclicked the file, I right-clicked and Open File with Discover and in both cases I got a failure to open due to a missing file. PSE report *which* file has been found missing. Apart from that, installations on Linux happen in diverse way...

Re: Print as/Save as/Export : monochrome TIF

I could have put this at the beginning of the thread, but it would have diverted the discussion from the start. The reason for my original request is the complication in my own current solution: A script which calls tools and one other script: #!/bin/bash ORIG="$1" NEW="$2" ONAME...

Re: Print as/Save as/Export : monochrome TIF

You could just write a bash script to convet it from pdf to tiff then delete the pdf via poppler, imagemagik or something like that... I do that with ghostscript for the converion to tif, convert for the conversion to monochrome tif, tiffcp to assemble multi-layer tiffs then tiff2pdf for the final ...

Re: Print as/Save as/Export : monochrome TIF

It looks like ... a CUPS-filter cannot do what I want. Such a filter needs input as Postscript or PDF and calls any kind of converter that you wish to deploy in the process, meaning that the procedure with a custom printer is almost identical to my own current solution with a script. When you want t...

Re: Print as/Save as/Export : monochrome TIF

After the consultation of a few sources, not always on the topic of writing Cups filters, I venture that there can be a way to “print to Tiff” via Cups. However, I am unable to put the pieces together. I have started a thread In a German newsgroup but do not give it much hope. If anybody knows writi...

Re: Print as/Save as/Export : monochrome TIF

Ghostscript, Imagemagick and Poppler can create TIFFs from PDFs in Linux. Probably you can even set up TIFF creation as a custom printer driver in CUPS. I use Ghostscript, imagemagick and the libtiff-tools. That is how I created the example from my OP, above. I will check the custom printer option ...

Re: Print as/Save as/Export : monochrome TIF

... I think you are asking for a function to export and convert text files into PDFs that are essentially the same as scanned images. No. I just want to export to TIFF, which is an image format. You do with am image whatever you want. My own use of the function would be the creation of PDFs but I d...

Print as/Save as/Export : monochrome TIF

This is a request that I had formulated a few times, years ago, probably in the German speaking forum. Hope dies last. PSE consider an export function for SoftMaker Office, at least the text processor. The reason for *me* to ask for such a feature is quite simply this: ----------- -rw-rw-r-- 1 micha...
