Why don't you run off now and go identify some verbatim quoted press releases? keep mobileread safe!
anyway, pdinfo's job is pretty simple. it just prints out the page count and bookmarks. writing a program that does this with a pdf library should be trivial. this is one reason why this issue re pdinfo is damn stupid in the first place. oh no... mobileread's hosting wAreZ. come here to download the most important piece of a $350 pdf package... the binary that just prints out page numbers!
anyone care to recommend a good library? preferably for .net?

Alex,
PLEASE stop trying to shift the blame for your actions onto Mark. He has done absolutely nothing wrong; it is you who are breaking the law.
MobileRead is a "legit" site; we, as MR Editors, most definitely do care about issues of this nature. The company which hosts this web site has, in the past, shown themselves willing to shut down sites at the merest mention of copyright infringement. We have
got to take these matter very seriously indeed.
You may believe that these matters are unimportant - that's fine; you're free to think that - but we take these matters seriously and we encourage all MR members to report possible copyright infringement issues to us.
We expect all MobileRead members to maintain certain standards of politeness and decorum towards one another. Abuse of members of this board will not be tolerated. You
will be banned from this board if you continue this abusive and aggressive behaviour towards Mark or anyone else.
