Figured out the "oe" problem, the Book Cleaner uses the character œ (unicode 156) as a temporary conversion character, Book Designer must be matching this to "oe" and then converting to an em-dash. I simply ammended the before and after macros in Book Cleaner to use the unicode character 137 (guess this is never used in books) instead of 156 and it seems to work fine now.

I can open them there, but all the undefined characters (that show up as little boxes) are making me a bit unsure of what I'm seeing, and a bit leery of just editing them .... |

You just edit them in the Book Cleaner utility. I made copies of the two .BCF files and edited those. It's not too intuitive, but just select the 'before', edit the unicodes and 'save', then select the 'after' and do the same.

The default replacement of middle and long dashes by the short ones was done in order to accelerate and simplify the book formatting and editing. However recently many users have asked me to make this feature optional. So, when I will have a time, I will add a checkbox "keep dashes" to the Settings. |

vvv, would it be possible to add a few features? I would really like tables, graphics next to text, the ability to change the text sizes and fonts. So for example, I can use Times New Roman if I desire and for bold text, I can use Times New Roman (Bold) and then for itlaic, Times New Roman (Italic).
Thanks! Jon |

As for the images inside the text, BD itself has this support. And in lrf there is such an option, but unfortunatly it is not working properly... Last edited by vvv; 04-19-2007 at 02:46 PM. |

The users have found a problem with formatting of lit-files (sometimes the spaces before <i>-tags are lost). It turns out that it was a bug in clit12a which is used in BD for the preliminary lit processing. The bug was fixed in clit18. To install it under BD: Get it from
http://www.convertlit.com/clit18.zip unzip, rename clit.exe as clit12a.exe, and copy it to the main BD dir. |

vvv,
Does this also fix the problem with meta-tags not being recognized by Reader or Connect; i.e., LIT-to-LRF via BD? I've posed the question in a few other threads, but no one has responded, perhaps because they don't know. I edited the tags using EditLRFMetaGUI, but no tags show while when polled using the meta tool, the tags are there. Thanks for the help! |

The ones that the Reader and Connect use to see the author, title, Book ID, etc., when loaded. If either cannot be read, the book will be filed by file name. I opened the file in EditLRFMetaGUI and was able to see that BD filled these when it was created; however, for some reason the software nor the device can read them.
Thanks for addressing my question, love the program! |

Question: When I import a file (a pdf) that has superscripts, it makes these "titles."
Is there any way to either a) Remove the superscripts b) Keep them as superscripts, and not titles I tried unchecking "detect titles by keyword" and "detect titles by style keywords" but the superscripts still came up as titles. |

My work has Adobe Professional, and while you can probably do this with Adobe Standard, I'm not sure if you can do it with Adobe Reader. But give it a shot! Anyway, open the PDF and go to a page with the title at the top. Then go to Document -> Crop Pages. Under "Margin Controls" change the top so that the line appears below the title. In "Page Range" select All. I kept mine as Apply to: "Odd and Even Pages" but you might try just Even. Click OK to crop the document. Now, even though it's cropped, the words are still there. If you try to save the PDF and import it into BD, it'll still detect the title text. Also, you should check the document to make sure you didn't crop anything you didn't want to. What you have to do is go to File -> Print. Select Adobe PDF and print it to a new document. Open the new document and voila, no more titles every two pages. |
