May be of use for those Macusers out there who don't want to copy a lot of files to get it to work.

The output is a lot better than it is using Calibre (at least for the pdfs I tried)
I'd started using PDFRead from the command line on Mac OS X, but given this comment I tried Crossover, as I thought it might be nice to be able to run it with a GUI. But it's not working for me. Crossover (8.0.1) seemed to install just fine on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. I used Crossover to run the PDFRead 1.8.2 installer apparently successfully. But when I run PDFRead all I ever get when I click the "Convert" button is "Please enter the conversion details", and no converted file. My settings are shown in the image inserted below. I started with more default settings and no options specified for unpaper, but gradually set some value for every field in the GUI, all to no avail. Any idea what's going on?
