Docsplit

Available also as a gem, holding both the CLI and the Ruby library.

Features:

• Searchable UTF-8 plain text
• Page images or thumbnails in any format
• PDFs
• Single pages
• Document metadata (title, author, number of pages...)

What is new in this release:

• Bug fixes for LibreOffice support.

What is new in version 0.6.4:

• Added a language flag for the Docsplit commandline.
• Fixed several bugs.
• Preparations for the deprecation of pdftk.

What is new in version 0.6.0:

• Docsplit should now handle shelling out for documents with arbitrary characters in their filenames correctly.
• A --density option was added for specifying the resolution of rasterization when generating images from documents.
• The image resolution for OCR has been doubled from 200 to 400 DPI - this shouldn't make a noticeable difference for normal docs, but will make a world of difference for the fine print.
• Docsplit now uses GraphicsMagick's --despeckle before OCR.

What is new in version 0.5.2:

• For transparent conversion to PDF, made Docsplit prefer GraphicsMagick over OpenOffice, when the file format is one that GraphicsMagick is able to read: (png, gif, jpg, jpeg, tif, tiff, bmp, pnm, ppm, svg, eps).
