PDFresize - any good for PDF comics?
Hey,
this may be old news but has anyone tried using PDFresize from neeviaPDF.com for making PDFs fit the cybook better? I just converted a comic and it looked ok at 800 x 600 on my laptop (I dont have the cybook yet so was just playing about). Anyway, I might be overly optimistic just cos it looks readable on my laptop at that res :-) |

cool thanks, let us know if it produces anything useful for the Cybook. Maybe it will suck but would be nice to know... incidentally, the test I did (on a laptop) was to convert a CBR comic (zip file) to PDF using ComicRack (http://comicrack.cyolito.com/) then from there resize it with the aforementioned PDFresize.
Just for the record I assume the Cybook res of 800 * 600 is 800 vertical and 600 across? |

Cybook has a *screen* rez of 800x600. But there are usually margins/whitespace. And I've yet to get *any* of my PDF files to work with PDFResize, not just the downloaded comics. Derek |

Was the issue that they did not even load into PDFresize or did they not convert to something useable on the Cybook? When I tooled about with it I converted a CBR (using Comic Rack) to PDF then shrank that to 800*600 - looked fine on laptop. Of course looking fine on the Cybook I cant say yet....

The issue for me was that even text pdf files wouldn't reformat. I keep getting errors. Derek |

There are some dedicated tools available to convert comics to Cybook sized PDF's, look here for example: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...935#post135935 |
