让pdftohtml支持中文

没装fbgs时,查到pdftohtml和pdftotext可以转pdf为html和txt
不过对中文识别有些问题,我有几个用acrobat转doc成的pdf,用pdftohtml就能识别中文,而自己用latex写的就不行。

有个参数-c很搞笑,pdftohtml不认中文时,就把它们转成图片放到网页中。
另外有个参数是-enc,感觉不大会用,总说couldn't find unicodeMap.. “猜中”个UTF-8可以用,但是仍然不能正确转换。

原来我的pdftohtml是poppler-utils里的,后来把它卸了,装了xpdf一系列东西,以及一个单独的pdftohtml.
之后有一些变化,比如pdftohtml和pdftotext不需要参数就能正常转换的那几个pdf(说是用acrobat转的),现在必须用参数-enc才可以,而且totext用-enc GBK可以,而tohtml用-enc GBK有乱码,用-enc EUC-CN才行。
另外/etc/xpdf有一些unicodeMap文件,定义了一些unicodeMap,然而用在我自己的pdf上还是不行。

最后我又改回poppler-utils了,还是觉得它提供的pdftohtml好使。而且-enc命令也可以用,这应该是某个xpdf的包支持的。(注意,我没有完全卸载xpdf的包,只是把和poppler-utils冲突的卸了)

今天发现了cmap宏包,说是可以让生成的pdf中的文字支持复制粘贴。不过我试过,没有用。
然后发现了ccmap宏包,这个是针对中文的,是cct宏包的一部分。源里没有这个东西,于是我到http://lsec.cc.ac.cn/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cct/ccmap/把里面的东西全下载下来(其中Makefile和t1.tex可以不要,另外Attic里面的文件也要下来),放到/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ccmap(具体要看tex的安装目录),把包解开,最后运行texhash
现在在.tex文件里加入\usepackage{ccmap}(我记得cmap要求是在\documentclass后紧接着就调入cmap,不知道ccmap是否也需要这样),再用pdflatex编译,哇!出现中文了,只是默认是utf-8输出的,用-enc GBK选项就好了!

最后,根据一个同学的说法,本质不在于cmap还是ccmap,只要有那些.cmap文件就行了,我试了过了,的确是这样,现在用\usepackage{cmap}也可以了。

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Installing Linux on Surface Pro 1g

Windows 10 will soon reach its end of life, and my 1-gen Surface Pro is not supported by Windows 11. I (finally) decided to install Linux to it. Fortunately, it's a not-so-easy nice adventure: The device has only one USB port, so I have to bring back my 10+-year old USB hub. My live USB drive cannot boot directly, I have to disable Secure Boot first, by holding Volume Up during boot. I think years ago I learned that booting on USB might not work through a USB hub, but fortunatelly it worked well with my setup. This is done by holding Volume Down during boot. Wifi adapter was detected in the live Linux environment, but not functional. And I don't have a USB-Ethernet adapter. Luckily, nowadays we have USB-tethering from Android phones, which works out-of-the-box. Originally I planned to following this guide to set up root on ZFS, however, the system froze when building the ZFS kernel module. Then I decided to just use EXT4, yet I still learned a lot from the guide about disk par...

Fix Google Security Code

Google Security Code (http://g.co/sc) is one type of 2-step verification. This is particularly useful when security keys and passkeys are not available. I have been using it in my LXC containers, until today I found out that it stopped working. It just kept saying "The code is invalid". It is easy to rule out some factors: The code works on other browsers on my laptop. The code works on other devices that are directly connected to the router. So it appears that Google also checks IP addresses besides the security code. Recently I have IPv6 enabled, so most devices that are directly connected to the router have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. But  I only enabled IPv4 for my LXC containers. So I guess when a code is generated by device A and used by device B, Google should be able to check that device A and device B are closely located. But in my case, IPv6 address appears on device A but not on device B, which may look suspicious. To fix the problem, I just needed to disable IPv...
