Commercial program says it can "make your own pdf e-books" - Anyone know about "
A commercial product (from Caisdata) called "Foxonics" advertises that it allows you to "make your own pdf e-books." Has anyone tried this program? It was a recent "Giveaway of the Day." If so I'd love to know your impressions.
http://www.caisdata.com/foxonic.htm The company says that it allows custom pdf output sizes. In particular, I'm wondering what happens in this program if you print a web page or word document to a pdf formatted for a Sony Reader. Does it reformat the page or does it drop words that extend beyond its print page size? Thanks. Last edited by Fugubot; 04-29-2009 at 03:21 PM. Reason: Pressed Enter while writing post |

Can't convert web pages & word docs with Foxonic; it only creates image-based PDFs. From the site:

PDF is not an eBook format. Don't get fooled by it. And Foxonics is not helping any.
