From: Hartmut Goebel <h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com> I'm pleased to announce pdftools.pdfposter 0.7, a tool to scale and tile PDF images/pages to print on multiple pages.

It expects as input a PDF file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a PDF file, maybe containing multiple pages together building the poster. The input page will be scaled to obtain the desired size. This is much like ``poster`` does for Postscript files, but working with PDF. Since sometimes poster does not like your files converted from PDF. :-) Indeed ``pdfposter`` was inspired by ``poster``. For more information please refer to the manpage or visit the `project homepage <https://pdfposter.readthedocs.io/>`_. What's new in version 0.7 --------------------------------------- * Incompatible change: `DIN lang` and `Envelope No. 10` are now defined as Γ landscape formats. * New options ``-f``/``--first`` and ``-l``/``--last`` for specifying the Γ first resp. last page to convert * Reduce the size of the output file a lot. Now the output file is Γ nearly the same size as the input file. While this behaviour was Γ intended from the beginning, it was not yet implemented for two Γ reasons: The content was a) copied for each print-page and b) not Γ compressed. * Make the content of each page appear only once in the output file. Γ This vastly reduces the size of the output file. * Compress page content. Now the output file is nearly the same size Γ as the input file in much more cases. I thought, the underlying Γ library will do this automatically, but it does not. * Fix bug in PDF code used for clipping the page content. Many thanks Γ to Johannes Br─╢del for reporting this bug. * Add support for Python 3. * Use `PyPFDF2` instead of the unmaintained `pyPDF`. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible | --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-3 * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
