Agent Smith Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I'm downloading it now. Seems that the free home version puts in an automatically generated footer. To get rid of it will cost you $49.00 :( Oh well, let's see how it fares.Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madboy33 Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Absolutely fantasticI don't care if there is some advertising therethats a brilliant find nellswell done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I suggest you have a good play madboy. It may just be a few settings which need to be tweaked, but the two documents I just converted have not come out too well.All the images have been moved and overlaid across the pageheaders.Mr. M.

Agent Smith Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I should add well done though Nellie, it will be pretty good for straight text by the look of it.Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Like I said, it may need some settings tweaked, but if you look at your converted file, you will see that some of the text at the page bottoms have been cropped.My problem seems to be with documents with custom headers, it moves all the text or images up, and overlays it over the header.Mr. M.
