Cafescrive - Because textbooks are too fucking expensive.

Ok, here is a new idea... Use screen capture software + keypresser ( dunno what they are called but they are used in games to bind complicated key combinations to one key or periodically press a key)...

Now, use the keypresser to press pgdwn after 5second intervals while recording the screen.

this way...>>you have a video with 5 seconds on each page.

now cut frames .

use the frames to make pdf..

Making a PDF from a video would be very poor quality.

It will be very easy to do automate the task with autoit
I can do it, but for that I need to know the pdf viewer gui.. the client program you are using.

Cafescribe offline. And the file is .enc like i said. Not sure what you mean by pdf gui..
Thanks for the link, the book i'm trying to turn on the into a pdf wasn't on there but i'll try it next semester :]

Kuva if you write that script Baby Jesus will summon upon you 70 virgins and an iPod(60 gig model).

After some research I came to a conclusion that it's harder than I thought... Cafescribe offline is very weird - doesn't let me read any books. Online version uses Flash to display stuff so accessing via Window controls is not possible. Making screenshots became a doubtful idea.

Did you even bother taking a look at the Cafescribe?

Printscreen everything by hand and let python put together the pdf? Just need to save all the images/ptrscreens to one dir and can write a script to make all images into one pdf.

A batch crop tool would help as well

Going to give this a try. Most likely Thursday. I'm just worried about the quality cause like i said the text is small and requires zooming in to a get a crisp clear look. that causes the page to be out of range in the screen, however.

Thanks you.

also, i feel so fucking stupid for even renting this. We don't ever use it in class. No homework based off of it. Nothing.

Is this how they get the contents interaction to the left of a PDF? Not trying to do this cause i know it's unlikely since i don't actually own it, just curious.
