can we reduce the resolution to make it faster? Or is this not the underlying issue?

Changed: os.system('convert "%s.pdf" temp.png' % self.filename)
To: subprocess.call(['convert', self.filename+'.pdf', imFile])

Putting the filename in quotes within subprocess.call function ('"'+self.filename+'.pdf"') gives an error for me. Can you confirm that removing the quotes and changing to subprocess still works for you?

I have cloned the project into a directory; but when I try python journal2ebook.py , I get this error:

from PIL import ImageTk
ImportError: cannot import name ImageTk

I am running Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56), under Ubuntu 14.04

PIL.VERSION shows 1.1.7

Hi,
is this project still alive?

Personally, I'm interested in this project and could look into updating it to python3 etc.

BR,
Constantin

While launching after the given install steps, I had to manually change the source to import ImageTk as follows:

- import ImageTk
+ from PIL import ImageTk

Not sure whether this works for all distributions so not sending a pull request.

I wonder if it's possible to get a more featureful open box (e.g., sort by date modified, type letters to zoom to the potential file)

After processing, change the preview image to the new pdf. Or should it be in its own box? (A toggle between original pdf and new pdf?)

Use pdftk to allow (e.g.) removal of extra pages.

Pass a button click to the terminal after running k2pdfopt?

Accidentally pressed New File and chose an invalid filename. Then clicked Ready to convert. Received this error:

Exception in Tkinter callback

TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'tuple' objects

Position top/bottom margin scale bars on the left of the page image

When I click ready as an epub, I still get a pdf.

Compatible with windows if the following are true:

*PIL is installed

*ImageMagick for windows is installed

*k2pdfopt.exe is in the windows path or included with journal2ebook

Window size should be flexible and easily adjustable (by clicking and dragging the window box). When the window size is adjusted, the pdf image size should adjust with it.

e.g. from zotero - started work in branch master (see file grabMetadata.py)

Sometimes journal profiles need to be modified. Right now if you type the same name it just duplicates. Might be good to ask about overwrite

A particular journal will likely have parameters that work for all articles in that journal. It would help to save the parameters for a particular journal, and add bulk conversion. (Can we read pdf metadata to get the journal? This might work best as a plugin for a reference manager.)

fixed by just using () instead of '' to skip changing the image if cancel is pushed.

I'm trying to get journal2ebook working on Ubuntu 18.04 and it exits with the error below when trying to load a PDF.

convert-im6.q16: not authorized /home/troy/Documents/some-file.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/412. convert-im6.q16: no images defined /home/troy/Documents/tempfiles/temp.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3258.

1. I can't seem to get the program to work on os x 10.6.8. I know i have imagemagick, gs, and k2pdfopt installed and working. I have "python launcher" installed. I don't know how to see if I have PIL. (I installed Pillow instead of PIL)
2. When I run from terminal I get:
   File "/usr/local/bin/journal2ebook", line 69
   self.configVars={line.split(':')[0].replace(' ',''):line.split(':')[1].lstrip().rstrip('\n') for line in f} #dictionary of configuration variables
   SyntaxError: invalid syntax

There seems to be a caret under the word "for"

I am only a beginner at linux, so I need somewhat explicit directions.

1. If I fail to get it to work, I wonder how i go about uninstalling it. Nonetheless, I look forward to being able to try it out.
2. Also, running tesseract I get the following:
   Error opening data file ...TessOCR-1.08.-5074127fdf195/TessOCR-1.08/tessdata/eng.traineddata
   Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory.
   Failed loading language 'eng'
   Tesseract couldn't load any languages!
   Could not initialize tesseract.

I do have a tessdata folder,
/Applications/VietOCR3 App/tesseract-ocr/tessdata
(But I havent been able to get vietocr3 to work. another story)
How do I set the tessdata_prefix??

thx
