Having problems with it not reflowing across pages

Unfortunately this is the way it works, our engine will not reflow PDFs across pages. We treat PDF pages essentially the same as ePub chapter, and the rendering engine is shared between PDF and ePub (as far as Sony is concerned). Reflowing across pages was hard, and we programmer types are lazy and conservative when dealing with deadline pressures

Having problems with metadata in books (this time with books from Tor)
|
So I noticed this in the TOR books as well (BTW, thanks for the books TOR, I do enjoy them). ADE and the code out of ADE that we gave to Sony looks for metadata in the pdfs in the well documented predefined locations for metadata (info dictionary). The TOR books (and a multitude of others) do not have this correctly filled out - go into Acrobat or Reader, Select File->Properties and in the Description tab look at Title/Author. Also unfortunately TOR password protected the document with the permissions set such that you cannot fix this oversight in Acrobat.
That being said, ADE uses the information in the PDF to seed it's own metadata store about files - manifest.xml in the Digital Editions folder. If you override the information about the book in the manifest, this will fix it in ADE. I forget off the top of my head if the code in the Sony Reader is picking information up from the manifest, or from the book itself, and unfortunately I don't have a Reader to play with right now (short supply at work, and my wife's Reader is HER - keepyourgrubbyfingersoffgetyourowndamn - Reader).
