wowio font size? - Page 2

You are very welcome. What I was going to do was ask you which book it was and then go get that book and covert it and give you the settings. But since you figured it out, no need. Glad you got it figured out.

It seems like each book you have to sort of futz with to get it to fit, huh? There isn't just a standard you can use and reuse. Each one is its own little project.

I love Roslindale, btw... lived for years over in JP.

I am also interested in that same book. (I have a wowio account; haven't used it much.) Jenna, can you post the exact settings you used? (I recall playing with pdflrf a while back and never being satisfied with results.)

My grandparents used to live in Roslindale, corner of Cummins Highway, across from the fire house.

I'm not 100% positive, but you'd only have to play with the settings to cut off the margins at worst case I think.

I really do like Roslindale. Very nice place. Easy T access too. Where are you now?

See, now I am playing. I shouldn't do that. By going back to no specific cropping and whatever it breaks the pages and recombines them in a weird way. I had them separate for a while but it was only using 3/4s of the page, so I played more. Either way its better, but I need to nail down the combination of things that optimizes it best. Leave it to Stephen Hawking to make it challenging.

I live in NYC now. I am, no joke, the reverse Babe Ruth. Got "traded" to NY back in August of 2004 and when the ALCS came up, here I was in enemy territory in my Red Sox hat. People laughed. Until game 4. I wound up travelling, purely by coincidence, back to Boston, in October and wound up being in the same town as each of the 7 games of the 2004 ALCS. It was weird.

in 2007 I worked back in Boston for a client and was there for yet one more penant. I was in town for each of the home games.

Coincidence... I think not.

The Sony Reader... just a hobby. Being the reverse Babe Ruth... my calling. If you are truly born and bred Beantown, you'll appreciate how superstitious that has made me about my boys at Fenway.

Once I figure it out in a way that makes me happy, I will post the info. It's not 100% for me just yet.

I was in NYC in August. I have a cousin who lives in NYC. And now we have the Patriots for the WIN!

I too live in NYC now, and feel kinda the same wrt the Pats. I used to have a big SB party every year.Moved to NY in late 2001 to a temporary apt. And, for the first time in many years, had no place to have a party and the big screen was in storage, and the Pats won the Superbowl! (Never thought I'd see that!)

But I do like going to Yankee Stadium wearing my Dwight Evans jersey.

Last time we went to NYC for the weekend, I wore my Red Sox hat. if I go again, I'll wear my official Red Sox World Series hat.

Has anyone sucessfully converted on of these books. I mean I can convert them with pdf2lrf but I would rather not due to having to rotate the screen and the size. The problem I am running into is the headers and footers. The full Adobe does not reconize headers and footers so I can not remove them.

I was able to bring it into BD and remove some of the headers and footers but removing the page numbers I could not do. Some of it was that there are numbers and Roman numerals other times.

I would be better if you can specify a physical portion of the top and bottom of the screen to cut off. If I could say cut off a inch from the top and bottom it would cut out the headers and footers. Anyone ever seen something to do that in PDF? Maybe that function in BD would be great.

Thanks!
