Hi!

I like that it opens up the explorer shell, pretty nice, it sure woke me up lol!

As far as a white png being generated from the pdf (bug), this wasn't the case... I checked the generated png's and nothing, they were fine, no blanks. Also, it's interesting that when I load it up in the mobi-reader the blank pages don't appear, it displays just fine... only inserts blanks on the Kindle 2.

Regarding unpaper, I checked out some other unpaper options like pre-wipe, post-size, and no border...

--pre-wipe is a problem to use because you have to specify a region (or multiple regions) in absolute pixels that's not relative to the edges so it would be a real pain to have to do that for every pdf. It's already somewhat of a pain to specify relative pixels for the unique margins of every different PDF file but I think we can live with that.

--post-size - not sure what happened here, don't recall exactly what it was but the gist of it is that I tried the setting a few times and the first time the image quality was pretty bad, fonts were extra big and bleeding, so I switched off the image dilation and that worked but I didn't see any difference in margins so I stopped playing with it.

--no-border wasn't good for me in conjunction with the --pre-border settings because it negated it for some reason, even though --pre-border isn't a border, so I don't know what's going on here. In any case, no need for it.

I sent you an email with the files so you can fool around with them.

Regards,

Anthony
