I have only ever run across ONE conversion program that actually did a good enough job that I was willing to use it on whole book files or the like, and even then there were usually a few rough, unacceptable spots where everything got out of place and I would have to realingn those parts by hand. Not that such conversion programs are not helpful, but in a case of redoing a whole book, I think WE should do it ONCE, right. BTW, I just received a vociferous complaint about these issues-- but want to discuss with Newby, who is hard to get this week, b4 mentioning any details here, and get permission. mh On Wed, 26 Jan 2011, Jim Adcock wrote:
Also, most computers nowadays come with one or more free HTML to PDF converters, so, assuming some PG user actually wanted a PG book on some size of paper in PDF format, why wouldn't they just use the free HTML to PDF converter that already came on their computer? For example, I used the free HTML to PDF converter that came on my bottom-of-the-line netbook computer to do this HTML to PDF conversion below -- I didn't bother to download the images (but I could have), and I didn't bother to optimize the page breaks. I chose "half page" size to make the result more "novel sized" for reading -- which is good for novels, bad for technical documents:
