Quick and Dirty PDF Sharing

by Paul Legan on January 24, 2009

Okay so I’m a fan of John Resig.  His work surrounding JavaScript has been so incredible and important that his blog has become one of my top 5 favorite to read.  One of his recent projects was to write a simple shell script to convert PDFs to simple PNG+HTML+JS presentations for viewing in a web browser. Resig’s script makes use of Image Magick for image processing and conversion, which makes the script very simple and powerful at the same time.
