Btw one last question, tried checking the docs but doesn t seem clear, whats the difference between portrait-full and portrait mode it says portrait-full is for one fixed page, but i m not sure i fallow. Does it really make a difference for pdf scans if i use the regular or the portrait full option? Edit: Tried both, one doing it in full and the second computer in regular. Checked both with the sony viewer and frankly i can't tell whats the difference... Last edited by Student1; 03-22-2009 at 06:16 AM. |

Here is the batch .bat i created to make the conversions : (took a sample and changed the settings) Code:
@echo off cls rem ============== batch processing options set LOC=C:\Program Files (x86)\PDFRead set OPT=-p prs505-p -i pdf -c "Eyewitness Guides" -f "lrf" -m "portrait" -r "none" --dpi "600" --colorspace "rgb" --colors "256" --optimize rem ============== do not change below this line set DIR=%~dp0 if not '%1' == '' set DIR=%1 for %%I in (%DIR%\*.pdf) do title PDFRead: converting "%%~nI" & "%LOC%\bin\pdfread" %OPT% -t "%%~nI" -o "%%~dpnI" "%%~fI" rem ==== uncomment the line below and comment the above one to debug (by adding/removing the rem) rem ==== for %%I in (%DIR%\*.pdf) do title PDFRead: converting "%%~nI" & echo "%LOC%\bin\pdfread" %OPT% -t "%%~nI" -o "%%~dpnI" "%%~fI" title PDFRead: batch conversion complete. pause |

Edit: Problem is more likely with the size of the books, they are a lot longer than usual... anyway these will not viewable on any current device. I ll keep them handy in pdf format for the time being ! Last edited by Student1; 03-23-2009 at 02:27 AM. |

Well i have done a lot of testing and it seems that these are the settings for the prs 505 :
Code:
@echo off cls rem ============== batch processing options set LOC=C:\Program Files (x86)\PDFRead set OPT=-p prs505-p -i pdf -c "Mythology" -f "lrf" -m "portrait" -r "none" --vres=800 --hres=600 --dpi "600" --colorspace "rgb" --colors "256" --optimize rem ============== do not change below this line set DIR=%~dp0 if not '%1' == '' set DIR=%1 for %%I in (%DIR%\*.pdf) do title PDFRead: converting "%%~nI" & "%LOC%\bin\pdfread" %OPT% -t "%%~nI" -o "%%~dpnI" "%%~fI" rem ==== uncomment the line below and comment the above one to debug (by adding/removing the rem) rem ==== for %%I in (%DIR%\*.pdf) do title PDFRead: converting "%%~nI" & echo "%LOC%\bin\pdfread" %OPT% -t "%%~nI" -o "%%~dpnI" "%%~fI" title PDFRead: batch conversion complete. pause --vres=800 --hres=600 did a great job at using the maximum portion of the screen. Without setting this the bottom and right side would have a hufe margin. Zooming was still an option but it would cut 2 lines from the bottom paragraph. I'm doing one more run and i will post my results and start my batch ! Here are the results, it will almost max the bottom and ofcourse leave a margin on the right side which is normal if you want to keep ratio. here are the images : First run without resizing : Second run with the resizing : It is close but it makes the text readable on the viewer without the need to zoom. anyway let me know what you think !

In that case, the settings below, may become the "new" Kindle2 profile that should be adopted. Anyone experiencing the "blank page" problem care to confirm this? |

Hi,
just wondering why there would be a gs.exe pop up coming up saying gs.exe has stoped working. When i click ok conversion continues until the error pops in again. Almost completed all my books but i have 4-5 books that keep getting this pop up and 1 more that gives an error and doesn t create the LRF. PS: I'm doing that book again so i can write the error code it gives. Here's the error i get with one of the files : Quote:

Try "printing" or saving that .pdf to a another .pdf and hopefully any incompatibilities will be removed. |

PDFRead settings for technical papers (pdf) on the Kindle 2?
Hi,
I am trying to find the best settings for PDFRead to read technical papers with lots of equations on my recently acquired Kindle 2. Thanks to Nick Rappalo, I've been able to iterate to what seem to be good settings (see attached screen capture below), however, I would be very interested if others have found better settings. Thanks! Chris (crj) |

Those settings look good. Especially when using the new MinFilter 5 dilate (see pdfread-MinFilter5-mod-bin.zip) provided with the Sony PRS update. However, that update is still of interest even for Kindle users. Just a note that if the original .pdf is of high quality/resolution and the DPI setting is too high, then the dilation effect can be reduced/negated unless using the new MinFilter 5 dilate. Cheers and welcome to MobileRead.com! |

Having an odd problem with the latest version:
When converting some PDFs, instead of making a prc file, it opens the temp directory where all the pngs are stored. This happens rather randomly, but is frustrating for long ebooks. Is this a known problem? Thanks. |
