Bob, could you please elaborate on the problems have with installing/running? I know v1 was quite confusing, but what are your impressions of v2? I really hope you could give feedback so that I could clear up any confusions in the UI.

ok, to answer your questions
1) Landscape mode gives a generous overlap of almost 20%. This is the same as if you rotated a pdf file. Quarters mode lets you adjust the overlap.
2) You need AutoImager and Adobe Reader (which I'm sure you already have). I plan that AutoImager won't be needed soon. The install instructions are very simple. Double-click 'install'. It explains a few things. What it says is that after installation, you can right-click any PDF in Explorer and there'll be a 'PDFrasterFarian' option.
3) Yes, it only works on Windows (2k/xp/vista).
4) Yes. With the new image enhancement of v2, the average page is even readable in portrait. Landscape you should find very comfortable.
