When I try to open my test file I noticed that it crashes quickly too. Hence I think it is related with the number of pages ??? (since for large number of pages it acts normally) EDIT: I confirmed that it is related with the number of pages by just combining this seperate pages into one PDF. (in this case it displays correctly) Thanks for your help again. |

Yeah, because it embeded the real TimesNewRoman font . The first version embeded NimbusRomNo9L as a substitute.
Btw, this goes without saying, but just in case someone might misunderstand... the TurkishCharacterTest-win.pdf I made using windows out of convenience - it can be as easily created on Linux too, but one would have to point to the dir that contain the needed fonts. It's easier to do so on Windows, because all fonts are (usually) in the C:\WINDOWS\Fonts. If I understood correctly, gs will not look into subfolders, so on Linux you'd have to copy all the fonts you want to use to a single dir. And of course, there's no TimesNewRoman on Linux (usually), so you'd have to copy it there from a Windows box. On the other hand, on Windows, normal Ghostscript installation won't add gs to the path, so you'll need to specify the full path when invoking the command. If I understood you correctly, it works for you too if the document has more than 1 page? If so, I'm glad you were able to sort it out. Regards, Kai771 |

No, "new" means "other than old", i.e. different from the previous release by new features and bugfixes (see ChangeLog). Support for touch is not amongst the new features of this release. For that you will need to wait a little bit.

I have the same problem but I think screen savers is not really important for kindle! having no screen saver is not harmful for kindle screen pixels. even if it shows the "going into screensaver" message for a long time it's not an issue. am I right? |

Screen saver is just cosmetic I think. So not showing it won't do any harm to the screen. |

I wish I could connect my kindle to my pc and copy a pdf to it while the framework is killed! (shift p k)
is there any solution? PS: another small question: how can I turn on the framework by some key combination after I killed it by (shift p k)? Last edited by pax.alvi; 01-20-2013 at 06:44 AM. |

Not having screensaver image is a feature, not a bug, because it allows you to see what was the previous battery state _before_ waking up the Kindle and then compare with the current state and analyze (mentally) battery's performance. (Or you can remember to press Alt-. to do this automatically and then open the file kindlepdfviewer/batlog.txt in KPV to see the actual data)

Sorry that you will not be able to transfer via usb when the framework is down for now. As for key combination, kindly refer to Kai's reply
