You answered before you read what you were answering? *facepalm* Anyway... I eventually gave up on the problem. The work around I used was to print the file and physically cut the document and then rescan it. Fortunately OCR and printing technology makes that possible though it was a...

Ahh, I'll have to check it out. Thanks anyway. It's kind of crazy to me that there isn't some open source suite that includes this type of operation. PDF is a hyper common file format and books being shaped as their are, plus the nature of flat bed scanners, coupled with Project Gutenberg and...

Can you link to the gui, or give me a Google search term? Or are you saying it's built in? I must admit I was somewhat confused by the program's many download options, it's entirely possible I grabbed the wrong one.

And you've made it obvious that you think all intellectual advancement is done for profit. One wonders then why, for example, Ben Franklin donated so many of his patents to the public domain, or why so many of those physicists and engineers you mentioned end up working under government grants...

imagemagick is certainly powerful enough, but it's CLI only isn't it? Irfan view will do batch cropping and conversion, but it takes some trial an error to get the numbers right. Thanks :)

...or I could just say my piece as an addendum to my response to the original post... oh, right. Is this not a "Free Speech Zone"? Anyway... Update on the split process. There is an interesting app that may help work around some problems if not outright solve them. It's open source, it's...

"A-PDF Page Cut" will do what you want, the free version water marks the file though, if that matters. I'm also still looking for a free version. I'll post back here if I find one. @berkeman Looking for a way to avoid having to say "I don't know." eh? Begin Rant: "Legal" is a...

Depends on your definition of needless. But that aside, my contention is that a solid tire can be developed that would do the job the air is doing. Heh, I think they look awesome, but I don't know about them being the future. Call me cynical but I think it's more a tactical patenting niche...

It's funny how whenever this debate crops up, people seem to forget the existence of polymers. Humanity is capable of producing a substance which is springy and solid. Seriously, I grow weary of intelligent adults speaking like variable density materials are science fiction, while sitting...

The main reasons that bikes still have inflatable tires as opposed to a whole new range of materials that addresses all concerns are convention and money. Status quo defenses aside, I refuse to believe a material can not be developed which would successfully replace air as a filler. Now before...
