I'm trying to not do the naive pdf creation, where each page is just the raster. Trying to keep the JBIG2 bilevel, as I get better quality at lower file size. Using jpeg2000 too, where appropriate, but the pdfs are still x2.5 the size of the original. Though, I can have it spit out decrypted djvu files that are exactly the same filesize... I just don't like that format for archival.
If you want the Rolling Stone or Playboy archives decrypted, ReconSuave on github has tools to do those. I got tired of waiting for him to do The New Yorker though.
- mekael 4mo agoIve mainly been outputting them to high fidelity jpegs and then stuffing them into a cbz for portability. Works well went im reading on my ipad. As for the others i had them sorted out about a week or two after i decompiled the original binaries. I’ve definitely kicked myself a few times for not posting about them sooner, but the fear of pissing off CondeNast tempered my willingness to show off
- NoMoreNicksLeft 4mo agoI don't think CondeNast cares. Do any of the cbz readers handle jpeg2000? It makes a big difference in filesize without any quality degradation. Like 40% smaller, maybe more in some cases. You should tinker with that if you have the time.
- fc417fc802 4mo agoOkular handles cbz that contain jxl with no issue. (IIUC both archive format and image format support is provided via a pluggable extension system but I don't recall the details because my setup has "just worked" for a very long time now.) Also FYI you can use mupdf to read cbz archives although I don't personally recommend it for that usecase.
