General Discussion / Joining lines from pasted text
Last post by a.l.e - Today at 07:16:07 PM
When copying text from a PDF, we often get the text line by line.

https://github.com/aoloe/scribus-script-repository/tree/master/join-lines

Today, I wrote a script that joins those lines in paragraphs.

If you copy the "scribus-script-repository" repository on your disk and add it to your script folders in "Preferences > Scripts", then you can simply run it from the Scripts menu:

Of course, you can also just copy the Python file in your own collection of scripts.

Please read the README in the folder linked above for the exact behavior of the script.

i do believe that scribus can export in html, then you can just open the file in your browser locally, no web server needed

That would require a website though wouldn't it? If so, it can't be done as that requires money I don't have.

Pdf is "Images and text on page" paradigm.
It seems that you need "One page html".

I created the document in Scribus. I plan to keep it in this format for printing, but it works great on PC or mobile phone, and for this it would be good if it could be one long document without the gaps. I chose PDF because most people's phones can open PDF, but if there is another format that phones can open, then I don't see why it strictly has to be PDF.

was this document given to you? or did you create it? what you are asking for can be done, with limitations.
can you give more information about this document? its it to be pdf only? would it be printed?

Not enough material, so a gap at the bottom of the page, then the next section is too big to fit on, so it has to go on the next page leaving a gap. See photo.

big gaps as in page margins> or just not enough material on that page to fill it reasonably?

I have a 16 page document that is in sections with text, photos, diagrams, links and hyperlinks. Because it is in sections that need to stay together, it means that there are sometimes big gaps at the bottom of some pages. Is it possible to create a document that is one continuous document that can then be exported as a PDF?
