[SOLVED] How to export a selection in a PDF file as PDF ?

I tried a lot of PDF readers, but none of them supports exporting a selection as PDF. Okular have a similar function, but it can only save selections as JPEG or PNG. Alternatively, I can take a screenshot of a selection in one PDF reader, but still JPEG. I want to use this function to crop a selection such as formulas, vector graphics inside a PDF file. I know Preview.app in OS X works great for me. I am wondering if there is any alternatives for Linux. Thank you so much.

Maybe take a look at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gpdfx/ or maybe one of PDF's editors like MasterPDFEditor (free for non-commercial use), pdfeditor etc. Or one of converters like pdf2html and after conversion plug html (or the other format) into LaTeX document. Or... make OCR on PDF and then plug document saved in even plain txt format. Also, there is this utility: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ … b/pdfpages (and in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/latex-pdfpages/) - maybe it will be helpful for you (I don't use LaTeX).

  • How to export all the man page in mac to PDF?

    How to export all the man page in mac to PDF?
    I have tried "man -t cat | pstopdf -i -o ~/Desktop/cat.pdf" but this only output one page.
    How could I dump all the man pages to pdf with one or few command as possible?
    The other question is, I copy all the man pages form /usr/share/man, they are .gz.
    After I unzip them and open with less, texteidtor, ultraeditor, all the formate are weird.
    Is there any tool could open them with the right formate as man does?
    I know the man in linux uses the tool "less" to read man pages. How about mac???

    I use Bwana. Copy all and paste into TextEdit. Then, save it. This is the beginning for diskutil:

    NAME
         diskutil -- Modify, verify and repair local disks.
    SYNOPSIS
         diskutil [quiet] verb [options]
    DESCRIPTION
         diskutil manipulates the volume-level structure of local disks.  It pro-
         vides information about, and allows the administration of, the partition-
         ing scheme of disks, optical discs, and AppleRAID sets.
    VERBS
         Each verb is listed with its description and individual arguments.
         list [-plist | device]
                    List disks.  If no argument is given, then all disks and all
                    of their partitions are listed.
                    If -plist is specified, then a property list will be emitted
                    instead of the normal user-readable output.  If a device is
                    specified, then instead of listing all families of whole disks
                    and their partitions, only one such family is listed.  In that
                    case, specifying either the whole disk or any of its slices
                    will work.  The -plist and device arguments may not both be
                    specified at the same time.

  • How to export the data to a excel file from RSA3?

    Hi experts,
    1.I am trying to save the RSA (SRM extractor) to excel spread sheet to compare SRM data with BI data. When i run the the transaction RSA3 it just showed me 10 different data packets. How to export the data to excel spread sheet for reconciliation?
    2. Does any body know if the stepup tables exist for SRM extractors?
    Thank in advance
    Sharat.

    Hello Sharat,
    You have two options of saving data to excel sheet:
    Step 1: 
    Goto RSA3, change the "Data Records / Calls" to 1000 and then execute. This way instead of 10 different packets you will get one packet.
    Step2:
    Click on the list button, open the packet by double clicking it. You will see all the data on your screen.
    Step3:
    Goto System -> List -> Save - > Local File -> Spreadsheet and give some name for your xls file.
    Assign points if helpful.

  • How to export special characters into an XML file?

    Dear experts,
    We read files from our customers and save data into our customized table without any character changed, including some address fields. In those address fields, some special characters (not in our code page) are also kept. When we want to write these address fields into an XML file or flat file, the special charcters become "##" or not readable, can anyone help us to solve this issue?
    Question1: How to write special code to an external file?
    Question2: how to use 'CALL TRANSFORMATION' from an internal table to an XML file?
    Your answer is highly appreciated!

  • How to export an IMovie as a small file quicktime movie

    I have searched and searched for answers or tutorials explaining how to export an IMovie as a quicktime movie that is small enough for emailing and posting to the internet. If I use the default setting my quicktime movie ends up being over 500MB which is way to large for sharing. I tried exporting using the "custom" or "compression" settings but don't understand what H 264,DV Pal, etc. means.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    To get a movie to that size, you can 1) make it shorter. 2) make it a smaller dimension. Like scale it down from 1920x1080 to 320x240 3) Take away quality by reducing the bit rate, reducing the number of key frames, etc. 4) Reduce the frame rate from 30 frames per second down to maybe 15 frames per second. The resulting movie would be postage stamp size and not very good. Use h.264 because it compresses very well.
    By far the best way to send a movie is to post it to YouTube or similar site in full resolution and then link to it in your email.

  • How to export user defined properties in seperate file

    Hello,
    i want to export user definied properties in a seperate file using OMB+ commands. The documentation of this topic doesn't work.
    The OMB Code I use is the following:
    OMBEXPORT TO MDL_FILE '${Pfad}/006_${Project}.mdl' \
    FROM PROJECT '${Project}' \
    ALL_CLASS_DEFINITONS \
    CONTROL_FILE '$SANDBOX_HOME/Project.ctl' \
    INCLUDE_USER_DEFINITIONS \
    OUTPUT LOG TO '${Pfad}/006_${Project}_exp.log'
    The control file defines the path and filename for the the definitons in this way:
    DEFINITIONFILE=C:\Arbeitsverzeichnis\udp.mdd
    But the file will not be created and i get no error message.
    When using this command the udp' definitons will be exported, but in the general project export file. Which is the correct way to export the definition in a seperate file?

    - Create a user-defined OTD with one String field.
    - Create an XSD-based OTD with repeating name and value fields of type String
    - Create a "New Web Service" Java Collaboration whose input will be the first OTD, whose output will be the second OTD and whose operation will be named getProeprties, or some such
    - Implement, in Java, the code necessary to read your properties, given the properties file name or path (given in the input OTD) and populate the name/valur pairs on the output OTD
    - drag the operation of the collaboration onto the Business Process Editor canvas as an Activity
    - Configure a Busienss Rule to set the input of the getProperties activity to the name/path of the properties file
    - Configure a Business Rule(s) to use the name/value pairs returned from the ivocation of teh getProperties service
    If you wish to take this one step further you could consider writing the java collaboration
    a) generically so it can be reused from different business processes
    b) to cache the properties on first read so each invocation after the first one simply returns the in-memory values instead of re-reading the proerties from disk
    c) generically so it can read, cache and return different property sets depending on the properties file/path provided as input.
    Bear in mind that IO from a java collaboration by means other than an eWay violates the EJB spec.. It works all the same.

    if you are trying to build your own software. you should read the instructions on how to compile this project and find out how said library is packaged in arch. (pacman -Ss name-of-library)

  • How can I export a selection as premiere PROJECT FILE to edit in another project....?

    Wondering if anyone else has come across this issue....I must of hit an awful evil key because for the third time deep into an edit I traced back to my intro to find most of the audio pulled a Houdini on me and disappeared.
    I've been through a tough edit, it's not as simple to just go back into my bins and recollect the clips to create my intro.
    Luckily I found the exact intro I need in an auto-saved project file. Copy and pasting obviously does not transfer through project file changes, there is an option to "Export as Premiere Project File" under File, however after marking specific in and out marks and even selecting all clips I want to export, my option tool remains gray and inaccessible.
    I need to export these specific clips as a project file so I may import the file as a sequence to a larger project.
    Help?
    Thank you so much in advance for your time and feedback.

    Have you tried importing the sequence through the Media Browser?  To do so, browse to the backup of your project and double-click it. That will show you all the contents of the project. You can then drag the sequence into your working project.

  • How to Export Address Book contacts as CSV file for Gmail?

    Hi
    I wish to export some of my Address Book contacts towards Gmail (which i use through the web interface for now) but I don't want to export vcards as i don't trust big brother Google with all the other data (snail mail, phone numbers, birthdays, etc).
    I have tried to do the export through Address Book but found no CSV export option.
    I've searched the forum for an answer, but to no avail. Some other (paying) websites claim to offer solutions but the "pay before you see" deters me from using them.
    Any tip on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Scripts and software also welcome, if shareware/freeware.
    Cheers,
    FMN

    Thanks for your answer, but gmail's help specifically states one can import contacts in CSV format and i was looking for a simple batch solution.
    Here is a link to the relevant gmail page (might be in French - am not a "Froguette" for nothing ;)) about importing:
    <http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=28647>
    and the one about importing addresses as CSV files:

  • How to export 1080 HD video to MPG4 file with chapters?

    Now that I have put a sequence together in FCE, how do I create a 1080HD MPG4 file that can be used on a PC, MAC or with the WD HD Media player (for those that know the latter).
    Thanks!

    That process will work, but won't give you HD video (as iDVD output is only SD). If you have FCE and Quicktime Pro, you could create what you are after.
    1) In FCE, use File->Export->Quicktime movie ... (and include all markers) -> File1
    2) In FCE, use File->Export->Using Quicktime Conversion ... -> File2
    3) Using Quicktime Pro open File1 and File2, extract the chapter track (text track) from File1 and then add it to File2.
    4) Using Quicktime Pro make the newly added text track in File2 the chapters for the video track. Save the result a self contained QT movie file.
    You will now have a a HD video file with chapters.
