pdg files

[Donald B. Wagner]

Hello all -

I recently received from a Chinese friend a collection of files with
the suffix ".pdg". I gather that this is a Chinese variant of ".pdf",
but I haven't been able to find a program to read it.

Does anybody know of one? Preferably for Mac of course, but I can use
PC programs under Parallels.

Regards
Don

Hi Don,

I recommend using Pdg2Pic, which can be downloaded at <http://www.comicer.com/stronghorse/software/#Pdg2Pic>.

I recently looked into this and wrote the below to Thorsten Lemke, as part of an investigation whether it would be feasible to have GraphicConverter convert this format.

Regards,

Jens

PDG is a proprietary format of <http://www.ssreader.com/>; I have not been able to find any format description. One is meant to access it with the SSReader, which can be downloaded at <http://www.ssreader.com/download/download.html>. There are "cracked" readers of the same format, such as that at <http://www.jfsky.com/softview/SoftView_5782.html>.

The developer's web page has a number of pdg-related apps: <http://www.comicer.com/stronghorse/software/index.htm>. There is also an English version of Pdg2Pic: <http://www.comicer.com/stronghorse/software/exe/Pdg2Pic_eng.zip>, the explanations in the html file are still in Chinese!

Black and White can be transformed into TIFF, PNG and BMP, colour also into JPEG and JPEG 2000.

He writes that it works through SSReader, so you have to install SSReader first (or have some other way of accessing the crucial PDG2.dll. This means, I think, that he has not reverse-engineered anything, just found a way to hook into a dll in SSReader. Probably this means that there is no way of converting this format with GraphicConverter.

There is no English version of SSReader. The download page is <http://www.ssreader.com/download/download.html>.

The developer has written some articles in Chinese on the subject of pdg's: <http://www.comicer.com/stronghorse/water/software/pdg2pdf.htm>, <http://www.comicer.com/stronghorse/water/software/pdg2pdfbig.htm>, <http://www.comicer.com/stronghorse/water/software/pdg2text.htm>, but I have not read them.

Do you know how to convert PDF files to PDG? I search at any place, and only found PDG to PDF..

[Jens Østergaard Petersen]

Hi Christian

The last posting on <http://www.hychess.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=49738> gives a strategy.

PdgRenamer 2.06 can be downloaded from <http://www.onlinedown.net/softdown/71689_2.htm>.

I have not tried this myself. Let us know if you succeed!

Cheers,

Jens

As an update/note to the revival of this thread, and I know it's been
4 years, but this link is no longer valid. Not sure where it lives
now.
