PureBasic Forums - English

I put the full PureBasic reference PDF (http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/PureBasic.pdf) on my Sony Reader PRS-505. I find it quite hard to read long documents on my PC's screen sometimes so I thought this might be a neat trick.

It's ok un-zoomed - but unfortunately far too small to read. However, when you zoom in, the eBook makes a complete mess of rendering the pages - all the page text is rendered in a single line at the top of the page, making it completely unreadable.

Anyone else tried this?

You probably need to create the PDF with the correct size specifications for your reader.

You need to determine its native resolution/font size/DPI, and that kind of stuff, so when the PDF is distilled, it comes out properly formatted for the device.

The easiest way to do this is to have access to the source project/files that were used to create the PDF, as well as the Desktop Publishing / Word Document / whatever application was used to assemble those files.

With existing free tools, the best bet might be to translate PDF to Word (or RTF) which the Sony eReader should be able to import with fewer problems. Good luck.
