PDF - turning page speed

blueowl · 05-07-2007, 08:04 AM

Hello,

I am curious, how to create pdfs, so that thay have page turn as quick as lrfs have.
I have download some pdfs from mobileread (e.g. TreasureIsland - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...light=treasure) or Little Cinerella from manybooks.net and they are as quick (or slow ;-)) as lrf from sony.
Hovewer when I tried to create pdfs from OpenOffice (using export to pdf), they have approximately twice as long page turning interval.
I tried several fonts, but that didn't help.

So could somebody advice a better way to create pdf?
I would prefer open source tools as I am using linux.

Jirka, I tried a couple of Linux command line tools, and I found that while htmldoc creates rather "inefficient" PDF files (causing slow page turns on the Reader), html2ps and pdftex work pretty well.
