Would it be possible to add an option to pdflef to all us to specify how much space between the end of one page and the beginning of the next? What happens is when you cut out headers/footers, and have the pages running without breaks, you get the teo pages right on top of each other with no spacing. It's literally the last line of the previous page and the first line of the next page joined together almost.

Cacapee, if you do not want to "waste" your time with this issue I could help you doing most of the work. |

Thanks cacapee, for a great tool - the TOC makes it great for reference books, and the fact that it handles djvu files too is fantastic. I can hardy wait for the 2-level TOC.
I'm running the pdflrfwin version 0.8 (the latest 0.8) and with one pdf file I get a "Error" message box with the text "Last position was: 33283942", when I hit OK it crashes. I made the pdf myself by merging a bunch of chapters together - am I doing something wrong? |

multi-level toc is already supported - unless there is a bug... Can you send me a test case that displays the "Last position was: 33283942" error?

I second this. That's exactly what I would like to have as well.

Pages 1-125 of the full text (589 pages) converts o.k., so does 125-300, but doing 1-300 in one go crashes. I extracted out pages 1-300 to a separate pdf so the resulting file is less than 5 MB, and verified that it crashes too. I also checked the conversion on a laptop and I get the same behavior (it crashes but it doesn't always give the error message first).

Hmmm. That PDF looks like it's copyrighted -- unless the author's given permission to re-post it, it might be better to go with a link to the originating sight instead -- we're workin' real hard to stay on the right side of copyright issues around here, you understand.

version 0.9 Added padding (in pixels) when using runpages. Fixed crash bug when generating toc. Added back ghostscript support. Added option to disable generation of TOC.

pdf/jpg output

Any chance for pdf/jpg output in the near future? Alternative would be an lfrtopdf or lfrtojpg or lfrtoprinter, but I cannot find anything like that |

png output should be possible. I dunno about pdf output. What do you need it for? Will you want to change the output size?

png output
Quote:
Apart from that, which has little to do with PRS-500, once I have png output, I can use it (after conversion to jpg or pdf) both with Sony and with all other devices that read jpg or pdf. I would not need to keep duplicates as lrf's and pdf's. On top of that, imagine that you scanned a road map. Lrf is limited to 6" or with your program to 2x6". Png (converted to jpg) can be scaled up and panned as an image even in Sony. BTW. I invite you to visit my thread about paper book to Sony (do-it-yourself repro v-cradle) in Sony - Accessories. You will see that I am quite serious about converting paper documents/books to digital format. I have digitized all kind of family and other documents. The number goes into tens of thousands (I am not exaggerating). Sony Book Reader is just a name. In reality it is a document storage and reader with one disadvantage of lacking folders. I am trying Archos 704 wifi right now. It cannot read lfrs but can pdfs, though it is very slow. Anyway, the universal png format can be used for all kind of various purposes. If you can do that output, please do. |

But if changing the size is a lot of work for you, do not bother to much. Png output will be sufficient. You work hard enough and everybody appreciates that. |

Can anyone guess why the compatibility with Sony Librie that was in pdflrf0.7 has been lost in the new versions? |

I was afraid of that. I made sweeping changes to the lrf outputter but obviously I could only test it with my Sony Reader. Let me look into it.
