Philflound Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I just got a batch of about 300 manuals and discovered some ones not on the list. Among them was the black and white Riddle of the Sphinx. I've been trying to find someone who scanned all the pages. My problem is that the one I have has the pages out of order. I'm wondering if this was a fluke with mine only, they made more than one error with this, or they all are out of order? If anyone owns this, please look at the color manuals either on atariguide.com and compare your b&w with his full color scan of all pages. He only has the front and back cover of the b&w, so that doesn't help me. Also, I remember reading several months ago someone had scans of tons of manuals. If that was user42, I downloaded his pdf files, but I was looking to get them in .jpg format. I'm looking to put the manual variations on the videogamevariations website. Scanning tons of manuals is going to take very long, so if I can find an easier way, someone let me know. Atarimania and Atariage don't have too many and Atariguide has his watermark on each page, which I usually don't mind, but many times covers up vital information.

Philflound Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Guess no one owns this at all? I see at least 2 or 3 on Ebay. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user42 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 You can save a pdf as jpgs with Acrobat Pro.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Thanks for the advice. I'll have to try it after doing some work on the giant variation list. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Turns out I don't have Acrobat Pro and definitely cannot afford to get it. I'm going to see if I can find something else that can convert them for free. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Found a program called Boxoft that converts the files to jpg. Now i have to just do the conversions. I looked at the 10 files you have. It seems that you have many duplicates in the zips, meaning file 1 and file 2 have some of the same scans. Is this true, or are they different variations of the same game? Right now I'm opening everything in separate files in case they are different.

user42 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I'm pretty sure the big download with 10 files is a split rar. That means that it is really one big file split into 10 pieces. You should just click on the first one and winrar extracts the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil This page might be of some use to you, Phil. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-ways-to-convert-a-pdf-file-to-a-jpg-image/ It covers a number of online and offline solutions for converting a PDF to a JPG file. I'm sure there's something on the page that should work nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Boxoft worked out. Once I go through the files, I'll pull everything I need an erase duplicate information. This is a giant challenge anyway. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberang Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 My RotS b&w manual's pages are in the incorrect order as well. Not a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
