Seriously, you could use it to generate invoices, create birthday cards, or all other sorts of fun things. Like we said, if you really like Google's homepage today and want to save it as a PDF, you could use wkhtmltopdf for that. Check out the auto-generated wkhtmltopdf manual.Ĭommand line tools are awesome, but I want a C library. There are plenty of command line options. That's great, I've always wanted to turn Google's homepage into a PDF, but I want a table of contents as well. Create your HTML document that you want to turn into a PDF (or image)įor example, if I really like the treatment Google has done to their logo today and want to capture it forever as a PDF:.
Download a precompiled binary or build from source.There is also a C library, if you're into that kind of thing. These run entirely "headless" and do not require a display or display service. I hope you find something that works for you, anyway.Wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are open source (LGPLv3) command line tools to render HTML into PDF and various image formats using the Qt WebKit rendering engine. i do this sometimes when i forget to tag a book before sending it. also, when your reader is connected, you can view what is on it by clicking on the reader in the top bar (next to library view icon), then you can see what is on there and if necessary add tags without re-loading the book. you can add tags and series info individually (highlight book in the library view, type E for Edit meta data, type in tas or select from the drop-down list among the tags already created), or in a batch edit : holding down the ctrl key (i think it's option key on a mac) select all the books you want to tag, type E, enter tag / series name. Just one thing though, you mention calibre has no playlists, have you tried using the tags and series functions for those ? i use them all the time, both of them will create "collections" when you transfer the books to the sony, this could be a good way to make a playlist. We all have different needs and tastes so it's hard to design one soft which can satisfy everyone, luckily there are other options. You may like it, and that is fine, but I do not. I have it installed for the command line tools, but the UI is utterly horrible.
calibre alternatives are mainly Ebook Readers but may also be Ebook Libraries or PDF Readers. Other great apps like calibre are Polar, Moon+ Reader, ReadEra and Librera Reader. The best alternative is MuPDF, which is both free and Open Source.
If you must know, it is ugly, slow, has no way of editing what is on my reader without putting a new ebook on it (which I have to do MANUALLY, it does not trigger on change), it has no playlists, no way of tracking what I want on there, etc etcĪll it does for me is ADD complexity, not subtract from it. There are more than 100 alternatives to calibre for a variety of platforms, including Android, Android Tablet, Windows, Linux and iPhone.
