It works! PDFRead runs great on OS X!
Upgraded python to 2.4.3, and everything works! Instructions to come eventually! |

I will be creating a new release shortly which will remove the need for a lot of the workarounds needed right now, and then update the release notes. Thanks for providing such detailed installation instructions! |

It's the least I could do. You gave me PDFRead!

sammykrupa/nekokami: can you see if the installation instructions for OS X I have included are proper? Last edited by ashkulz; 04-06-2007 at 10:48 AM. |

Sweet DJVU support, that's awesome! I was kind of hoping for this to get the few books in that format onto my Reader. Have you any experience with the IMP format?

Do you mean for importing IMP? That's a dead-end format from which you can never convert back to anything -- I know, I tried reverse-engineering it a while back but gave up and bought a 1100. The ProcessText people are attempting to build one, but it may take some time (possibly never).
However, using PDFRead you can convert *to* IMP as long as you have eBook Publisher installed. |

I'll try to test tonight or tomorrow.
Darn, if I'd known this was coming, I might have held off on buying that iLiad... though plenty of fun things are happening there, too. |

Hmmm, I was hoping it wasn't. I found a tool on the Russian website where Book Designer is found called Win unIMP and got my hopes up. It appears to deconstruct the IMP's into to a resource directory, but I can't make anything out of the results. I checked the web looking for more details, but all I found were technical specs of the directory's contents; nothing that I saw was leading me in the right direction. I guess my only alternative is to convert it to PDF using the eBook Viewer and resize to Reader specs. I'm sure there has to be a way to get the stuff out of there is a piece of software on your PC can display it for you (it even lets you select words/paragraphs/etc.).
Thanks for the input! |

The one thing I'd buy in a second without (much) regard to price would of course be the InfoPad, if it ever gets done :-) |

PDFRead now officially has a home at SourceForge (I've been using their file release system for a while).
Please note that it may take some time for all the mirrors to get the new releases, so try again later if it doesn't work immediately. |

Hmm, I'm kind of running out of ideas on what new features to add. Do any of you have any suggestions/features that you'd like to see added in the next release (if any)?

Tested v5 with generating lrf files on Mac OS X.
Worked great! Instructions were also proper. |
