Yet another PDF to LRF converter

[megacoupe]

The link has been removed, but it's not difficult to figure out where to find the download: a search for "pdflrfwin" in Google shows torrent sites hosting it. The Piratebay and Demonoid pages even have direct links in the comments.

i did a search looking for a solution, and found this forum. It's just as confusing here
trying come up with a work around to convert pdf files,but there is a simple solution
in program called nitro pdf professional v5.4.0.21 google it up to find the program
it sells for $99.00, maybe you can find a better deal if you look in the right places.
It was so simple to convert a pdf file, you choose the file in gui window, pick the type of conversion you want, press the convert button, and thats it. Its done in a few seconds
i converted my pdf document into a rich word document, open that word document
high lighted each page of the book and pick the font size i wanted, as big or as small
as i wanted, and saved the changes,when transfer it over to my sony reader. ( i choose the size 20) perfect size
for the sony reader just like the e-books that came with the reader. a 185 page book
was now 544 pages, after conversion. this is beautiful, i don't have to purchase a new reader and i can pick whatever typt size i want,and i don't have to choose between
small or medium with the 500 model , or limit between 1-5 on the 505 model and i save hundreds of dollars from buying a new reader

Thanks very much. I think this would be the perfect solution. I've seen the features of this software and looks pretty good. I am downloading it with the right medicine to try it.
I was a little concerned of pdf support after reading all posts (I will receive the machine in some days) and this may let me see the tousands pdf ebooks I already have.

still work?

Hey
I love that someone created this...
I am experimenting with the program now. Can someone tell me whether I can eliminate the blank space that appears on every second page?
To be specific, it seems as if to fit the text the pages are now divided with a single page of original text flowing onto a page and one third. So that equals two page turns for each original page. As I am really impatient (I have a lot of trouble with page turns, although after using the program it is much shorter than with regular pdf files) so can someone tell me whether it is possible to combine the text?

when pdflrf is run without options it just resizes the page and splits it. This usually ends up with the 2nd half of the split page having a large blank area. You can avoid this by using the '-r' option, which runs together the pages.
It also rotates to landscape mode by default (-90 rotation), which I personally don't like, so I use "--rotation=0" to keep it portrait mode.
Here's my typical command:

pdflrf -rs --rotation=0 -a "author name" -t "book title" -i "input.pdf" -o "output.lrf"

If the print is really small then I remove the "--rotation=0" option and let it use landscape.
The "-rs" options run together the pages and "smartcut" at blank lines, that should do away with your blank page issues.

Swell program, hope this helps with your usage.

Cheers,
Lee

PS, just noticed the GPL violation notice. pdfread.py is an alternative, though the images don't seem as crisp.

I use GUI

[stranjer]

this program is sweet.

my only problem with it is that, I cant get a decent print size for some reason..its either to small or if its ok than it splits on two pages.

so far to best for me, is rotation=0, profile=landscape,scale=fit to page,stretched. but this is still not the best.

any suggestions?

nice job

I started my morning reading this thread and I was so impressed at the ability of cacapee, not only to create this program, but to incorporate all the suggestions made so quickly. It seemed everyone was so willing to work together to create a better program. As I read further, I was disappointed to find the way this thread evolved into something less "community orriented". Sadly, the one, took from the many.
I plan to buy a sony 505 and this looked like a great option for converting all my pdf files. I'm sorry the program is no longer available. If someone is able, I would appreciate a copy of the program as I know nothing about torrents. My email is:
Amystei@comcast.net.

There appears to be alot of useful information at this site and I'm glad to find a community of people using the same product with much more knowledge than I.

Would someone mind emailing me pdflrflinux-0.9.gz? stilliremain@googelmail.com.

Thanks!

You all might want to look at

or
PaperCrop

With these two applications I find I don't use PDFLRF anymore, aside from the fact that PDFLRF is a closed/dead project.

Thank you, I'll do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

where to download pdf2lrf software?

[megacoupe]

If you go to The Pirate Bay or Demonoid and do a search for "pdflrfwin" you will find direct links in the comments below the description.

You don't have to know anything about torrents.
