deskUNPDF 2 Professional / Mac Technology Previews
We are proud to announce the availability of the deskUNPDF 2 technology previews. These are pre-release versions of deskUNPDF 2 Professional and deskUNPDF for Mac.
This preview includes the new OpenDocument (OpenOffice.org Write, Google Docs, KOffice, odt) and the Sony Reader BBeB (lrf) output formats as well as Word97-2003 rtf/doc and text. Under OS X deskUNPDF installs a new PDF workflow, effectively creating a print driver for the supported output formats. The Windows version contains a trial version of deskPDF Professional which allows for the same functionality.

Create reflowable content for the Sony Reader with deskUNPDF
The deskUNPDF LRF Renderer Technology Preview allows Sony Reader users on Windows or Mac OS X to create reflowable eBook content printer output or existing PDFs. This is a major breakthrough because the native support for PDF content on the reader makes it incredibly hard to read the text of a normal letter-sized PDF page. The deskUNPDF LRF Renderer can produce BBeB Book content with structured text that is easily resizable, for easy of viewing on the Reader.

Import PDF files into OpenOffice.org with deskUNPDF!
The OpenDocument format provides a great alternative to proprietary office application files. For anyone wishing to have easy access to word processing, spreadsheet, or graphics applications supporting this new format, there are a variety of free options. Most of these programs have the ability to create PDF output as a finished product, but often times it would be useful to convert a PDF file for editing.
For users of compatible programs -- including KOffice, OpenOffice.org (OOo), StarOffice, and even Google Docs -- the deskUNPDF OpenDocument Renderer can be used to create OpenDocument .ODT files from standard PDFs. These are fully-editable, native documents.

Docudesk PRS Browser for OS X
The Docudesk PRS Browser allows Macintosh users to easily manage content on the Sony Reader using a native OS X interface.
Both internal and card memory locations are supported, and all natively-supported file types can be added and removed from the Reader (txt, lrf, pdf, rtf, bmp, gif, jpg, png, mp3, and aac) with simple drag and drop operations. You can even copy files from your Reader to a local drive.
This project is based on the ReaderFS file system for OSX. Special thanks to the author, Scott Turner, for his contributions. The PRS Browser is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
