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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

... 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...

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...

You recognize that this path is identical to the one, I suggested? Just to be sure.

I cannot find an option to change the interface font or to find which font needs to be install and accessible :/ While the specifics of your system and configuration are important, I only encountered similar problems when a requested font had not really been available. I suggest to find the setting...

It's all a bit silly, since they are the same fonts and I don't think there's any way for anyone to know whether a file was created using a Home or a Professional version of Windows or Office, but technically Microsoft does make that distinction in their licensing agreements. Unless you are using a...

I just hope that SoftMaker stays SoftMaker.

If SoftMaker were to integrate DeepSeek into FreeOffice, and if DeepSeek is any good -- users of FreeOffice would have less incentive to upgrade to SoftMalker Office. You sweep away all that surrounds a server software hosted in China. Maybe the friendly face that AI-rika shows in the forum unbalan...

Meandering around the pitfalls of reality will not give you an advantage in your campaign to boost your data-sucking machine.

There is one shiny cool feature about SoftMaker that you overlook. Keep it going.

This tells a lot about the quality of the public . Nothing about the quality of any product or service. “ Nothing is more noble and requires more courage than to find oneself in open contradiction with our times, to stand up and to say: NO! ” (rough ad-hoc translation of Kurt Tucholsky) I am not cou...
