Hi review,

They claim that there is no difference in the layout quality compared to a traditional book which is exactly what would latex do for you. So what am I'm missing that you want to convert your files to rtf? Sure, with rtf it is easy to change the font size which would be that easy possible with the pdf.
my problem is that the pdf files that are generated (in the standard font) are not very legible, unless I adapt the margins or change the font, something that is not always possible/practical if you have to e.g. conform to journal requirements or if you are working with other coauthors - I will definitely stay away from html, then, and will update you on how the files looks: I'll try to post an image of the pdflatexed fle and of its rtf twin (well, if I manage to discover how to do it ).
