Thanks Harry that helps a lot! Do you also happen to know a workaround for the "&" sign?

Well in my opinion you know a lot already! I just discovered the "Element Browser" and that is really handy.

New Vista Problem -- Updated
The following was fixed by unstalling an Intuit program called Find My Deductions and loading a different program that fixed the VB 6 runime problems.
__________________________________________________ ___________ I migrated from XP to Vista -- please do not ask why. Bookdesigner seemed to work okay at first. Now I get the following error: ++++++++++ Component 'comctl32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid ++++++++++ __________________________________________________ ___________ Now I unistalled and reloaded BookDesigner and the updates to a user space area (also tried the default program files area with the same result). BookDesigner now works for most if not all book format outputs except for Sony Reader. Nothing happens at all when I press Make eBooks fore the Sony Reader but it does work for Librie and others. Any ideas? Last edited by jwhayn; 03-24-2007 at 02:37 PM. |

I've been using this a lot today and am very happy with it for the most part.
For a while I was discouraged about converting lit files. It took me a while to figure out that I needed to double click the images to bring up a second window in order to delete them. And sometimes when there is the word "by" before the authors name it puts the word "by" way down on the next page when you actually create the book. I don't know why so I have started deleting the word before I create the book. Now I guess the only thing bugging me now is that I can't seem to get very good output from any pdf files. They just do not seem to translate well for me at all. Any tips on converting pdf files would be nice. Thanks for such a wonderful program! |

So far I am aware about two ways to make LRF from PDF. 1. Use ABBYY PDF Transformer 2 to convert PDF to RTF. Then use BD to make LRF from RTF. 2. Open PDF in Adobe Acrobat Ptofessional and save all as HTML 4. Then use BD to make LRF from HTML. (If you save it as HTML 3 the formatting will be bad. Lots of spacing between every line etc.) |

I posted this tip in another thread - If you have a gmail account - email the pdf to yourself as an attachment - view your message and click on view attachment as html.
For all the pdfs I have tried this with it keeps the bold, italics and font sizes and it also handles line breaks nicely. Rob |

Can you break the file up into smaller chunks?

I tried that as well but when I try to open it in BD I get an error saying he can't read the format. |

I meant break it up into smaller chunks and send the smaller chunks through the g-mail transformation, diabloNL.

I have several ebooks that I made with BookDesigner that somehow have the date as the author.
I have no idea how that happened. Is there any way to edit the author and title without starting all over from scratch? I tried EditLrfMetaGUI but it never works correctly for me. I always either get errors or unreadable files. |
