Trouble with TOC
Although this is only my 3rd conversion, I was following the tutorial posted on 1st page. The first 2 conversions worked fine, but I simply can't figure out what's wrong with my last attempt. I can't get the TOC to work properly - usually (in reader and also in eBook Library) only some titles get "hotlinked" and it seems that only the first letter is linked. Could someone have a look? It's driving me crazy.

I have not looked at your example, I am not that good to find a problem anyway, but I might venture to suggest you to do the following:
Go to: Makes eBooks -> Sony Reader -> options On the right hand side of the options window there is a column named: misc in the column you have to make sure that option "toc" is ticked (most likely it is) and in a drop-down menu next to the option "toc" you have to choose FULL (you probably have "short"). Hope it helps. A. Last edited by astra; 11-12-2007 at 05:24 AM. |

BD can covert to LRF from many different file formats.
HTML, TXT, RTF, DOC, LIT, FB2....pdf as well but it looses all formating such as italics. If you want to conver PDF to LRF via BD you have got to open in Adobe Pro save it as HTML v4, then load html to BD. Or use some pdf to HTML/RTF converter, but from my experience they are worse than Adobe Pro., which is far from perfect as well.... |

I just checked out the prices for Adobe Professional - to much. Any other suggestions? I have been reading about pdflrf - but it seems as if it would be be very difficult for me to do - very technical. Have you tried it?
Thanks |

Author and title are separate items of "metadata" in the file. |

Yes, I tried it. Actually, from a tech point of view it is even easier. I tried it using all defaults and it works very well. the only problem is that I don't like the output file...it is like a collections of pics of individuals pages. Cannot change font size and a few other isses. As a last resort maybe, otherwise I don't like it. But the program is superb.

I actually find that pdftohtml does a better job than acrobat.

LOT easier to organize books if they are set up the same way. Now I have Fiction books A-Z set up by Author with folders for HTM, PDF, LIT, LRF, DOC, RTF, and TXT. Searches also will work fine for the title or the author. |

Personally I just name my files to be the book's title, and I store them on my hard disk in a directory structure which reflects the author. I have one folder per book, and store all the files (the original source file, the BD "LastFile" folder, and the converted files) in that folder. Eg, in this case I'd have a folder "Verne, Jules". Within that I have a folder for each of Verne's books - "From the Earth to the Moon" in this case, and then within that folder I have all the files for that book. |

I always add author's name to file name of a book that I either create myself or download here. Just like that
