I usually save the output from Acrobat to a HTML v3.2 file and start from there converting to .IMP using eBook Publisher.
However, the
best route I've found for reading magazine/technical type .pdfs on the REB 1200 is using
PDFRead v1.7 (see Content forum sticky
here). Unfortunately, until now, the output has been in 16 grayscale.
However, Ashish Kulkarni (author of PDFRead) had previously implemented 16 (4-bit) colors for the REB 1200
and I had modified his code to allow 256 (8-bit) colors for the REB 1200
.
Any higher color depth would just increase the resulting .IMP file's size GREATLY without any corresponding betterment!
These modifications have not yet been finalized, but will be part of the next release, v1.8. I have been granted developer status by Ashish and intend on finalizing these changes soon ...
p.s. by the way, I got my inspiration for my
mobi2imp from Ashish's .IMP creating module (ImpOutput) in PDFRead and mobi2html in MobiPerl from tompe on mobileread.com.
