useful web converters
Last night I was looking around at sites that would take my Cinema 218 flyer and turn it into a poster. Most all of them that I found required that I submit a picture in jpeg format. My flyer is in pdf format, so I needed a way to get from pdf to jpeg. A quick apt-cache search pdf2 didn’t reveal anything, so I started looking on the web. I found this site: TOM Conversion Service. This site will convert from just about any type of document format (jpeg, tiff, doc, pdf, etc.) to another. Very handy to have in your bookmarks.
You can, apparently, also download the Perl code and use it locally. Since I am a Perl idiot, I passed on this option, but some of you programmers out there might be able to build a useful Intranet application out of this.
