Please mind that each page will have a size of 0.1-0.7 MB and that it will not be possible to search or make notes in the book.
Test-print a page before printing the whole book to check the quality.
Let me get this straight... it exports as images and inserts a watermark?

Why would anyone put up with such nonsense?

If you want a PDF maker that (like this one) works as a virtual printer (and hence can be used with any application that can print), which is completely free, Open Source, and does not have such glaring problems (i.e. no watermark, exports text as text so you can use the dictionary, etc.), look at something like PDFCreator.
