Mobi Creator and the command line

Ortep · 06-11-2009, 08:46 AM

I have several hundreds of PDF's and I'd like to convert them to PRC. After some testing I found out that the best results are obtained with Mobi Creator. The only problem is that it has to be done one PDF at a time. Did anybody managed to automate this process?

I know it will run more or less automatically I you drop all the files on Mobi Reader. But I want to keep the intermediate html and opf files you'll get when you use Mobi Creator. This is because the meta data is not available in the PDF. When the OPF is available I can correct them by simply double click the opf and press build after the correction

Moved to the Mobi forum. You're more likely to get help here than in the Gen3 forum.
