The Camera User Guide That Is Giving Me Trouble
Attached is the Book that I have been unable to convert from PDF to Sonmy format using RasterFarian. Recall I only got the pages with the word COPY not the user guide text. Sorry you were unable to d/l it directly from camera company site.

I found out that the enqueueing isn't working correctly. If you enqueue a 2nd task, the first task will complete, but the lrf-file will be gone. Probably because the temporarydirectory of both tasks are located in the same place, one will overwrite the other?

just found out, after 15 hours of encoding, that there is a limit of 9999 pages for a book when using rasterfarian. After that, it will spawn convertprocesses until your pc crumble

athlonkmf, sorry. it's one of those things where you go "eh.. i could use 5 digits... but i mean really, who's going to ever convert 10,000 page books?" That's how y2k happened.
but seriously, where did you get this pdf? and how do you expect to navigate to any particular page using the reader's interface? next time i do a release i'll up the limit, but for now you can use something like CutePDF to cut up the file. Also, the queueing is a bit flakey but it should never overwrite the old lrf file. Did you use the same name twice? |

But navigation won't be a problem, because the TOC is working fine with other collecttions. I just never had such a large file. I've now generated the LRS-file myself to contain the 9999 files that are made, but lrs2lrf is still trying to parse it, it's been more than 10 hours now.... (and now looking for a faster alternative) As for the queueing, i'm sure I haven't used the same name twice. But each time when I queue up tasks, the TOC of the 2nd task will be used in the 1st tasks. I think it's because of the doc_data.txt being overwritten. Also... A very weird thing. On another computer where i've installed rasterfarian too, the rescaling is REALLY weird, it creates PNG-files over 1,5MB big and about 3500px resolution. I can't find out where the problem is. Could be that that computer has adobe installed... |

athlonkmf, you're starting to give some good reports. the TOC over-writing sounds like a bug. I've tried taking care that doc_data doesn't get overwritten but might have missed something.
PNG files are 3.5k pixels during intermediate stages of processing. are you saying that the final lrf is composed of those pngs and is hundreds of megs in size? laythstag, looks like it's another one of those things where Windows is either mysteriously missing a file that it really ought to have or your PATH variable is incorrect. I'll just bundle the program more.com with RasterFarian and that will fix it. |

Zooming
It is an amazing program. I have a newbie question since I blazed through the program and did a conversion over-night of a pdf book:
When I zoom there is no word-wrap like there is with books purchased from the SOny store. So the last few words on the right get cut off when I zooom. I realize PDF is just an image and that it is zooming on the page rather than making the letters larger. Is there a way to get it to word-wrap or make the margins tighter when converting so I can have larger text? As of now it is readable when I go to landscape mode and use a medium zoom. Thanks! |

If you want wordwrap, then you should use bookdesigner. RasterFarian treats the pages as images, and does not change anything on textual level. The margins can be set in the default-file (i think, haven't looked at at anymore) |

There is a free program called pdf2html that is on Sourceforge.net which supposedly does a pretty good job converting PDF. Give it a go. If it works for your needs, then you can take the HTML, tos it into book designer and have a nice LRF when you are done.

I've written a tutorial so you can use MSH_LRSPARSER to do the final conversion step instead of LRS2LRF. This is MUCH faster for large files.
