To be able to Optimize document (default, screen, ebook, printer, prepress) with ghostscript, you can remove in ghostscript_kmenu.sh these parameters: -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 or you'll get an Error: Can't set GraphicsAlphaBits or TextAlphaBits with a vector device

Thanks for this very useful service menu.
Is it possible to extract non contiguous pages with PDFtk submenu? Because I could only extract a range, eg. 7-11, but could not page 7, and 9-11. Is this a shortcoming of your service menu, or simply I did not know the right syntax to give the range?

You need do it in two step.

Definitely one of the most useful service menus, after preparing some stamp files for pdftk, I use this a lot. Also repaginate is something I very often need as well as burst and join.All work flawlessly on Debian Wheezy KDE 4.8.

Great work, thank you.

I have quite a few issues with KDE 4.8 SC2

- the selection order doesn't seem to work anymore, instead it's sorted by filenames

- combining pdfs often results in nothing

I encountered that converting pdf2djvu with presets dpi600 or dpi300 do nothing. Although Custom and Advanced presets work. By slightly modifying dvi option handling in a shell script i get this to work.

The "convert to booklet" looks like just what I want, but I get an error when I run it on kubuntu 10.10:

pdfnup ERROR: the --pages option is not allowed,
see 'pdfjam --help' or http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam
for page selection examples

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hello
This is the most useful ServiceMenu I've ever seen.
Would it be possible to put all the services within a sub-menu? For example, the sub menu PDF in "Actions".
Thank you very much.
