DJVUSED(1) DjVuLibre-3.5 DJVUSED(1)NAMEdjvused - Multi-purpose DjVu document editor.SYNOPSISdjvused [options] djvufileDESCRIPTIONProgram djvused is a powerful command line tool for manipulating multi-page documents, creating or editing annotation chunks, creating or editing hidden text layers, pre-computing thumbnail images, and more. The program first reads the DjVu document djvufile and executes a number of djvused commands. Djvused commands can be read from a specific file (when option -f is specified), read from the command line (when option -e is specified), or read from the standard input (the default).OPTIONS-v Cause djvused to print a command line prompt before reading commands and a brief message describing how each command was executed. This option is very useful for debugging djvused scripts and also for interactively entering djvused commands on the standard input. -f scriptfile Cause djvused to read commands from file scriptfile. -e command Cause djvused to execute the commands specified by the option argument commands. It is advisable to surround the djvused commands by single quotes in order to prevent unwanted shell expansion. -s Cause djvused to save the file djvufile after executing the specified commands. This is similar to executing command save immedi- ately before terminating the program. -n Cause djvused to disregard save commands. This is useful for debugging djvused scripts without overwriting files on your disk.DJVUSED EXAMPLESThere are many ways to use program djvused. The following examples illustrate some common uses of this program. Obtaining the size of a page Command size outputs the width and height of the selected pages using a HTML friendly syntax. For instance, the following command prints the size of page 3 of document myfile.djvu. djvused myfile.djvu -e 'select 3; size' Extracting the hidden text Command print-pure-txt outputs the text associated with a page or a document. For instance, the following shell command outputs the text for the entire document. Lines and pages are delimited by the usual control characters. djvused myfile.djvu -e 'print-pure-txt' Command print-txt produces a more extensive output describing the structure and the location of the text components. The syntax of this output is described later in this man page. For instance, the following shell command outputs extended text information for page 3 of doc- ument myfile.djvu. djvused myfile.djvu -e 'select 3; print-txt' Extracting the annotations Annotation data can be extracted using command print-ant. The syntax of the annotation data is described later in this man page. For instance, the following shell command outputs the annotation data for the first page of document myfile.djvu. djvused myfile.djvu -e 'select 1; print-ant' Command print-ant only prints the annotations stored in the selected component file. Command print-merged-ant also retrieves annotations from all the component files referenced by the current page (using INCL chunks) and prints the merged information. Dumping/restoring annotations and text Three commands, output-txt, output-ant, and output-all, produce djvused scripts. For instance, the following shell command produces a djvused script, myfile.dsed, that recreates all the text and annotation data in document myfile.djvu. djvused myfile.djvu -e 'output-all' > myfile.dsed Script myfile.dsed is a text file that can be easily edited. The following shell command then recreates the text and annotation informa- tion in file myfile.djvu. djvused myfile.djvu -f myfile.dsed -s Extracting a page Both commands save-page and save-page-with create a DjVu file representing the selected component file of a document. The following shell command, for instance, creates a file p05.djvu containing page 5 of document myfile.djvu. djvused myfile.djvu -e 'select 5; save-page p05.djvu' Each page of a document might import data from another component file using the so-called inclusion ( INCL ) chunks. Command save-page then produces a file with unresolved references to imported data. Such a file should then be made part of a multi-page document containing the required data in other component files. On the other hand, command save-page-with copies all the imported data into the output file. This file is directly usable. Yet collecting several such files into a multi-page document might lead to useless data replication. Pre-computing thumbnails Commands set-thumbnails constructs thumbnails that can be later displayed by DjVu viewers. The following shell command, for instance, com- putes thumbnails of size 64x64 pixels for all pages of file myfile.djvu. djvused myfile.djvu -e 'set-thumbnails 64' -sDJVUSED COMMANDSCommand lines might contain zero, one, or more djvused commands and an optional comment. Multiple djvused commands must be separated by a semicolon character ';'. Comments are introduced by the '#' character and extend until the end of the command line. Selection commands Multi-page DjVu documents are composed of a number of component files. Most component files describe a specific page of a document. Some component files contain information shared by several pages such as shared image data, shared annotations or thumbnails. Many djvused com- mands operate on selected component files. All component files are initially selected. The following commands are useful for changing the selection. n Print the total number of pages in the document. ls List all component files in the document. Each line contains an optional page number, a letter describing the component file type, the size of the component file, and identifier of the component file. Component file type letters P, I, A, and T respectively stand for page data, shared image data, shared annotation data, and thumbnail data. Page numbers are only listed for component files con- taining page data. When it is set, the optional page title (see command set-page-title below) is displayed after the component file identifier. select [fileid] Select the component file identified by argument fileid. Argument fileid must be either a page number or a component file identi- fier. The select command selects all component files when the argument fileid is omitted. select-shared-ant Select a component file containing shared annotations. Only one such component file is supported by the current DjVu software. This component file usually contains annotations pertaining to the whole document as opposed to specific pages. An error message is displayed if there is no such component file. create-shared-ant Create and select a component file containing shared annotations. This command only selects the shared annotation component file if such a component file already exists. Otherwise it creates a new shared annotation component file and makes sure that it is imported by all pages in the document. Text and annotation commands print-pure-txt Print the text stored in the hidden text layer of the selected pages. A similar capability is offered by program djvutxt. Struc- tural information is sometimes represented by control characters. Text from different pages is delimited by form feed characters ("f"). Lines are delimited by newline characters (" "). Columns, regions, and paragraphs are sometimes delimited by vertical tab ("
