When I try to use comic2pdf I get the following error:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "from_comic.py", line 16, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\comic\convert_from.py", line 554, in main
  File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\comic\convert_from.py", line 523, in do_convert
  File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\comic\convert_from.py", line 395, in create_pdf
ImportError: No module named reportlab.pdfgen

I am trying comic2pdf rather than comic2epub because the graphics output on the epub files is very poor.

comic2lrf works, but I want to try using comic2pdf because I am hoping that the PDF will be able to store graphics scaled so that the image width is saved at the resolution of the Sony's height, so that comics will still be rendered at max resolution when turned to widescreen mode instead of upsampled by the reader. I currently haven't been able to do this with comic2lrf--when the reader scales up an image for widescreen view it is obviously scaled instead of at a higher native resolution, even with the -w flag set.
