360 Problem with viewer

soccera · 04-08-2011, 11:42 AM

Hi,
i use a Pocket Book 360t
My problem is the view from this unit.
If I open a normal PDF-File and the view to 130% scale (smaller view possible but then it's too small), then it's increases but the text itself does not fit on the screen size of the Ebook and disappears a little bit =/
I tried to convert it into Epub. Everything is fine without pics=/
but the pdf-file includes text and images.
Is there any solution?

There is no real "solution" for pleasant reading of PDFs on an ereader if the PDF was designed for a much bigger screen or for printing.

You could try one of the many free PDF cropping utilities which attempt to remove the excess whitespace margins on each page. Here's a link to Briss available in the MobileRead PDF forum. It's one of the better ones I've tried.

For a more general discussion of the problems/solutions this may be of interest.
