Thanks to the efforts of athlonkmf, Rasterfarian has been given a non-infringing variant:

This version has the licensed pdcat.exe removed. It was doing nothing more than "concatinating" the pdf to another location. So I used a simply "copy" command instead.

Get it here. (it's too big to upload in mobileread)

I've patched raterfarian again because I needed some changes for my newly purchased prs505

This version let the user select how many shades of gray (with thanks of jakeluck for the shades)
But most importantly, the batch function is now usable.

Just extract and overwrite the files in your rasterfarian directory. A install version will be released later.

Hi! I have a problem with rasterfarian: since I've installed the sp on vista running the executable doesn't open the dialog box.
I tried to use the right click menu on a pdf instead, but it seems that the application runned in that way is not "as admin" and so it lacks permission to read/write files.
If anyone has suggestion on how to fix this, thanks in advance!

I have found a not-exactly-orthodox-method: activate the true administrator account hidden in Vista using the prompt.. not a great solution but works.

1. How can I make rasterfarian actually CUT the pages in half rather than use LRF landscape mode. I don't mind editing the code to accomplish this.

2. Ultimately, I'd like to use this for my new Kindle that I expect to come this week (yes, they are finally in stock). Can one of you help me reconfigure rasterfarian to output a reformatted PDF or better a kindle supported format (PRC, MOBI, AZW)?
