dcm2pdf usage question

[niirdan]

hey again, I am interested of converting a dicom SRs into pdfs , using dcm2pdf tool .
the file type is .162450 (sent directly from GE US) which is not encapsulated .
there is any way to convert it using DCMTK tools or to encapsulate it and then use the tool ?
(I can send the given SR if this is necessary)
Best regards , Dan Nir

As the documentation (man page) says: "The dcm2pdf utility reads a DICOM file of the Encapsulated PDF Storage SOP Class (dcmfile-in), extracts the embedded PDF document and writes it to an output file (pdffile-out)."

That means, this tool does not support what you expect. If you want to render a DICOM SR document into a human-readable format, dsr2html might be the right tool for you.
