Eine neue #Publikation von mir in der heutigen c’t 3/2026. Darin zeige ich ganz praktisch, wie Daten aus #PDF#Formularen mit dem #OpenSource #Tool #pdfcpu automatisiert ausgelesen und mit #jq oder #curl und etwas #bash in ERP- und Ticket-Systeme wieder importiert werden. Ganz ohne Medienbrüche, proprietäre #Software oder #Bigtech #abo

Question for the #digipres community, for #PDF validation why choose #pdfcpu over #JHOVE? I’m running pdfcpu I’m down to just over 1000 invalid files out of 175K files vs nearly 10K well formed but not valid files when running JHOVE.

うーん、 #pdfcpu を使うと #PDF に含まれた #JPEG は非再圧縮で引っこ抜けるようだけど、G3 FAX圧縮された2値はフルカラーPNGに変換されてしまうな‥‥ 全く出てこないよりはマシだが
