If you have the book in some word processor format, then it should be a matter of 10 minutes work to change: - page size to 90x120mm - margin size to 2mm - font size to something reasonable and print the thing into a new pdf file I can help you if you wish, just send me a private message. Locked pdf did not prevent me from extracting the text (and I will read the book on my e-ink reader as soon as I finish the book I am reading at this moment), and it will definitely not prevent a determined "pirate". It will, however discourage your not-technically-inclined potential reader from loading it onto his / her e-ink reader. I have simply fed the pdf to the Readiris OCR program that was bundled to the cheap scanner/copier/printer/fax combo from HP I got at work. This way I do not even need to care about the broken paragraph lines you get by copy & paste from acrobat (or text export from GSview, in case of locked pdf files) |

Okay, okay... I'll try to get to it sometime soon.
By "quite a bit of work", I meant "I'm too lazy to even look at that damned book again". If it's just a matter of page size, I should be able to do that for you. I'm tempted to make a joke here about how my book isn't available in millimetres, only in inches. |
