I figured out the problem. I needed to download the full update, rather than the 07/30/07 test update that is listed below. I first downloaded the latest install and the 07/30/07 test update, and graphics did not work even after running the regsvr32 GflAx.dll command. I then uninstalled, re-downloaded the installation, downloaded the full update and then ran regsvr32 GflAx.dll. After that graphics worked. Problem solved.

hello, I hope someone can help.

I installed BD as per the wiki. I have windows 7 64 bit.

I can load the pdfs and hit the "convert to fb2" button and my book is supposedly created but when I hit open file it takes me to my documents folder.

Infact, the "FB" folder where it should be under does not even exist. Did I install the program wrong.

dont know what to do. thanks.

I just finished editing a book (Orwell's 1984) in BookDesigner. I searched and replaced all the text to make sure that correct dashes were used (hyphens for word separation, as in "pig-iron", and long dashes to break a sentence, as in "It was always at night—the arrests invariably happened at night".)
Looks OK in BD, but when I made the LRF file, all were converted to hyphens.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your answer, but I think this doesn't apply in my case, as I already have the correct dashes in my BD file. The problem is that, when I make my LRF output file, BD converts all of them to hyphens.

After you click on "make Sony Reader book" the Sony pane will come up. Click on the "Options" tab. Then be sure to select "as it is" in the "dashes" option.
Hopefuly, this should sort things out for you.

Thanks Patricia!!! I had never noticed that option (and I must have looked at it more than 100 times). Now it's ok.
