equivalent JPG file that cuneiform can process
It is worth noting that the ImageMagick ChangeLog shows many PNG-related changes since the version of ImageMagick that cuneiform is linked against. http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php > that cuneiform on Fedora is linked against ImageMagick wrong
How it could be linked "wrong"? It is either linked nor not. ImageMagic issue - may be.
Did you send your file to gscan2pdf maintainer?
(In reply to comment #4) > > that cuneiform on Fedora is linked against ImageMagick wrong > > How it could be linked "wrong"? It is either linked nor not. I suspect that he meant either: 1. Could be an old version of ImageMagick (in fact, it _is_ an old version of ImageMagick, as I mentioned above, and see also the bugzilla ticket that I added as a dependency of this one). 2. Could have been linked against one of the ImageMagick forks with different / inferior PNG support. In any case, what he meant is really irrelevant, since it is clear that Fedora 18 has an old version of ImageMagick and there have been many intervening PNG-related fixes to it. So the first thing to try to address this bug is a newer version of ImageMagick in Fedora. > ImageMagic > issue - may be. > > Did you send your file to gscan2pdf maintainer? Yes, of course, that's how he verified that it works on his (gentoo amd64, as I mentioned) system even though it doesn't work on mine. Works in F20 with new ImageMagic. Closed. |
I generated the attached file foo.png as follows: 1. Write a line of text in oowriter. 2. Export to PDF. 3. pdftops 4. pstopnm -dpi=300 5. convert foo.ppm foo.png When the resulting file is passed to cuneiform, it reports: Cuneiform for Linux 1.1.0 PUMA_XFinalrecognition failed. When I then convert the file to jpg ("convert foo.png foo.jpg"), also attached, cuneiform recognizes it with no trouble. I discovered this while trying to use cuneiform through gscan2pdf, though I've boiled it down to a simple test case as outlined above. I've been told by the maintainer of gscan2pdf that cuneiform has no trouble with PNG files like this one on gentoo amd64. He theories that cuneiform on Fedora is linked against ImageMagick wrong, or against the wrong version of ImageMagick, or something, but that's just a theory. The version of ImageMagick in Fedora 18 is 6.7.7.5, which was released in May of last year, and there have been lots of changes since then, so his theory is plausible.
