Iliad can't remember last page read in some PDF

Hi!

I can't find the answer.
I have some PDF who seam to be unprotected and each time I open them, they start at page 1...

Any idea?

Thank you.


---*---
Take 2

The problem seams to be related to the incapacity of the Iliad to create the appropriate Manifest.xml file

Once I create one everything is back on track.

How can I fix this?

Thank you

The first time you open a new PDF document, the iLiad will create a directory with the same name as the original document, move the document into the directory, and then create the manifest/etc files. Sometimes, if there are funny characters in the PDF filename (spaces, symbols, etc), the iLiad will be unable to create a directory. If that happens, every time you open the document will be like opening it for the first time. Anything like that possibly going on?

Hi!
Thanks for the reply.
I try stripping non ascii characters like (à or even space) in files to no avail.
But your hint makes me realize that the Iliad is in fact not able to create the folder.
I try moving my book from CF to my MMC card and all worked well.

So now I'll try to reformat my CF and see what happens.

Thank you

Yeah, that was my next thought... full and/or corrupt card. Make sure to format it as FAT32. That seems to work the best.
