Another pic
Enclosed another pic from the file. As scaling of pdf:s is currently not possible on Iliad, scaling of the pdf file would be needed. Printing on A4 potrait to two A5 landscape would do it.

Now, how did that happen, if there's no scaling? Did you do any preprocessing? (I assume not.) Query: the original file had page layout and magnification = default. I assume the iLiad PDF reader interprets that as 'single page' and 'fit page' ... does anyone know? No zooming, I can buy. But no scaling I can't make out. Query: is there a page somewhere that is not 3:4 proportions, but way off? That might cast some further light on the magnification part ... EDITED: No, wait again ... that picture was from the second link, with already rescaled pages? ... That must be it ... I was looking at the first set of images, which has not been rescaled at all. Right? Last edited by ath; 07-19-2006 at 12:40 PM. |

However for your interest I used the second file, but took some of the print margins of the original pdf file away by printing it to a new pdf with smaller paper size. |

Thank you for testing. Is it readable? Could you please try the "Die Zeit"?

Spiegel is just about the size, which is still readable. Zeit full page size is not, but have a look at this video! Here you see how a newspaper is read.
Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nuKBdXMpM0 |

some more real life content
Hi, I'm interested in using the iliad to read scientific publications.
Could someone post pictures of the attached Nature Neuroscience PDF? I would be eternally grateful! |

Thanks Herve.
That seems not very readable at all. Maybe when they get the PDF zoom to work, but then I am not sure how usable an pleasant it will be. I hope someone is designing an A4 ebook... |
