Free pdf format software for linux

Common Data Format is a self-describing data abstraction for the storage and manipulation of multidimensional data in a platform- and discipline-independent fashion.
It consists of a scientific data management package (known as the "CDF Library") that allows programmers and application developers to manage and manipulate scalar, vector, and multi-dimensional data arrays.
Enhancements:
- Adds new sets of APIs to allow Standard Interface to interact with zVariables and other CDF-related information.
- Adds MingW and FreeBSD ports.
- Adds support for Intel C++ and Fortran for Linux.
- Adds the ability to create legacy CDF 2.7 files.
- Fixes a bug that prevented directories from having .cdf or .skt extensions.

PDFMap is a Python library which helps you create of high quality maps in PDF format. Objects of any type (either shapes or images) can be placed on a map and scaled and rotated to reflect their original dimensions and orientation. You can make each object clickable in Adobe Acrobat Reader (e.g., to access a Web-enabled application from which youve extracted the data used to create the map).

It serves successfully in drawing archaelogical objects on cave maps, but as the examples may show you, it can also draw things at a very high scale, e.g. an Europe or World map.

Each map can have an optional rasterized background which can be rotated automatically if it is not North oriented.

PDFMap can automatically draw objects on each map. Objects can be of any type (e.g. City, School, Archaeological objects, whatever you like), and are represented by shapes or images, scaled to the actual objects dimensions and orientation. Each object can also have an associated url which will render the object clickable in tools like Adobe Acrobat Reader (NB : the clickable area is always a rectangle of the actual objects dimensions, not of the representing shapes dimensions), the use of this feature depends entirely on your imagination : draw maps from a database and link back to a web enabled application which manipulates this database is just an example (and an interesting one at that, just
believe me).

PDFMap uses two types of input files :

Configuration files :

Those are used to tell PDFMap which shape or image should represent each type of object, as well as set different parameters for this objects type :pen thickness, colors, minimal and maximal size, etc...

Data files :

Those are used to feed PDFMap with lists of objects to draw. They are generally the result of an ASCII export from your favorite spreadsheet or relational database management system.

The tests/ subdirectory contains sample configuration and data files which are well commented. Read them and run the tests programs to learn how PDFMap works.

PdfRipImage is a utility to extract images from PDF documents and convert them to a format of your choice. You can choose to extract whole pages or just the images contained in them.

The program is available as a command line shell script.

OODoc::Format::Pod is a Perl module to produce POD pages from the doc tree.

INHERITANCE

OODoc::Format::Pod
is an OODoc::Format
is an OODoc::Object

OODoc::Format::Pod is extended by
OODoc::Format::Pod2

SYNOPSIS

my $doc = OODoc->new(...);
$doc->create
( pod
, format_options => [show_examples => NO]
, append => "extra textn"
);

Create manual pages in the POD syntax. POD is the standard document description syntax for Perl. POD can be translated to many different operating system specific manual systems, like the Unix man system.

a2pdf project converts ASCII text to PDF format, with optional line/page numbering and Perl syntax highlighting.

Usage:

a2pdf [options] input.txt >output.pdf

Options:

a2pdf recognises the following command line options:

--help
Prints usage details and exits.

--doc
Displays full documentation and exits.

--version
Prints version number and exits.

--title
Sets the title to be included in the page header. If unspecified, the title will default to the name of the file which is being converted, or to STDIN if a2pdf is processing from standard input.

--timestamp
Boolean option - if set, the timestamp of the file to be converted will be included in the page header. This option is turned off by default.

--icon
Path to an image file which will be included as part of the header in the top left of each page. Image files may be in any format supported by PDF::API2.

--icon-scale
Scaling value for icon images, default is 0.25.

--header | --noheader | --notitle
Prints a header consististing of the page title, and optionally the timestamp and an image icon at the top of each page. This option is enabled by default, use "--notitle" or "--noheader" to disable.

--footer | --nofooter | --page-numbers | --nopage_numbers
Adds the current page number to the bottom of each page. This is enabled by default, use --nofooter or --nopage-numbers to disable.

--line-numbers | --noline-numbers
By default, line numbers will be included in the output PDF file. To disable this behaviour, use the --noline-numbers option.

--perl-syntax | --noperl-syntax
Enables or disables (default is enabled) Perl syntax highlighting. This feature requires that the Perl::Tidy module is installed.

--page-height
Page height in points. Default is 842 (A4).

--page-width
Page with in points. Default is 595 (A4).

--margins
--left-margin
--right-margin
--top-margin
--bottom-margin
Specifies the non-printable area of the page. The margin option will set all margins to the same value, however individual margins may be altered with the appropriate options. Values must be given in points. The default value for all margins is 48 points (0.75").

--font-face
Sets the font to use for the PDF file - currently this must be one of the PDF core fonts. The default font face is Courier.

--font-size
Font size in points, default value is 10.

--line-spacing
Line spacing in points, default value is the font size + 2.

--noformfeed
By default, any formfeed characters in the input stream will be processed and will act as expected, i.e. a new page will be started in the output PDF file. This can be disabled with the "--noformfeed" option which will cause all formfeed characters to be ignored.

Options may be given in any format recognised by the Getopt::Long Perl module, e.g. --name=value or --name value. Option names may be abbreviated to their shortest unique value.

If the input filename is not given, then a2pdf will expect to receive input from STDIN.

CL-PDF is a cross-platform Common Lisp library for generating PDF files.

It does not need any third-party tools from Adobe or others. It is used by cl-typesetting to provide a complete typesetting system.

AnyData::Format::Mp3 is a tied hash and DBI access to Mp3 files.

SYNOPSIS

use AnyData;
my $playlist = adTie( Passwd, [c:/My Music/] );
while (my $song = each %$playlist){
print $song->{artist} if $song->{genre} eq Reggae
}

OR

use DBI
my $dbh = DBI->connect(dbi:AnyData:);
$dbh->func(playlist,Mp3,[c:/My Music],ad_catalog);
my $playlist = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
SELECT artist, title FROM playlist WHERE genre = Reggae
});
# ... other DBI/SQL operations

This module provides a tied hash interface and a DBI/SQL interface to MP files. It creates an in-memory database or hash from the Mp3 files themselves without actually creating a separate database file. This means that the database is automatically updated just by moving files in or out of the directories.
Many mp3 (mpeg three) music files contain a header describing the song name, artist, and other information about the music.

Simply choose Mp3 as the format and give a reference to an array of directories containing mp3 files. Each file in those directories will become a record containing the fields:

song
artist
album
year
genre
filename
filesize

This module is a submodule of the AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm modules. Refer to their documentation for further details.
