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.
Features:
- groups all text into a single flow
- images (with grayscale dithering support)
- basic font and style rendering
- three rendering modes:
- block - renders more font and size detail at the expense of adding more paragraph
- inline - text is grouped together into larger paragraphs
- freeflow - as much text as possible is grouped into each paragraph
Limitations:
- documents with columns or other fancy layout are rendered in a single column
- bold font faces currently render as italics due to current limitations in knowledge of the Reader format.
- vector art is disabled
- hyperlinks/table of contents not implemented
We hope you enjoy creating this new convenience of creating content for your Reader as much as we do!
