Ruby script to convert CBR or CBZ files to PDF.

Features:

• Can trim whitespace from pictures
• Autoscales images to fit page
• Auto orientates page according to dimensions

Requirements:

• p7zip and unzip

cbx2pdf -[crtvVd:i:o:p:]

-V: Display version information
-h: Display usage information
-d: Deskew images (by threshold - 0.40 is good for most images)
-t: Trim pictures
-i: Input file (.cbr or .cbz)
-o: Output file (pdf)
-c: Check local configuration
-p: Page size (default A4)
-r: Resize images rather than scaling them

Convert file "Issue 001.cbr":

cbx2pdf.rb -i "Issue 001.cbr"

Convert file "Issue 001.cbr", trim white space from edges, deskew them, and output to "Issue_001.pdf":

cbx2pdf.rb -i "Issue 001.cbr" -o Issue_001.pdf -t -d 0.40

If no output file is given, the output will be to the current directory. The file name will be the same as the input file, but with a .pdf extension, rather than a .cbr or .cbz extension.

If no switches are given it will assume the first argument is the input file and the second is the output file. For example:

cbx2pdf Painter\ \&\ Poet\ William\ Blake.zip Painter\ \&\ Poet\ William\ Blake.pdf

Wildcards can now also be used, eg:

cbx2pdf *.cbr
