Convert PDF To LIT

I received an email few days ago about converting PDF to LIT format using the contact form on this site. I have some issues with the past contact form plugin after plugin upgrade, the sender’s name and email address were not shown because of the plugin bug. The email goes like this:

I’m curious if you know of a program that can convert .pdf files into .lit files. I HATE reading pdf ebooks, because I cannot save my place in them, whereas the .lit version saves your place in multiple books. I read the books on my laptop…

I agree that when it comes to eBooks, we cannot have bookmarks in pdf unless we take note of it. The easiest way will be purchasing a file converter specially for that function, pdf to lit. There are trial versions but they offer it for limited page conversion, 5-10 pages only just enough to try and test the product.

The “FREE” conversion:

1. Convert the pdf files to .TXT format or Word .DOC file. There are two ways:
   • Open the PDF file, edit, select all, copy and paste it to notepad or MS Word.
   • Use free PDF to TXT converter software. You could also try free PDF to DOC software.
2. Images will not be copied (TXT), save the image separately as an image file (optional)
3. Edit the copied file for line breaks and spaces.
4. Download and install free ReaderWorks.
5. Make necessary adjustments to settings before conversion.

Instructions and informations to use these products will be posted soon.  My apologies to email sender, you can contact me again (contact page already working), comment here or subscribe to my feeds to have immediate answer to your concern.

PDF to Microsoft Word conversion? The easiest way is to open the PDF file, click edit, choose select all, copy then paste it to blank word document. How about batch conversion? Will you choose to do the repetitive steps? Count me out. The best way is to use conversion software like Some PDF To Word Converter I stumbled. A shareware that is powerful enough for batch conversion is great.

I’ve tried and tested SomePDF2Word software. Well, it is user friendly and converts PDF files easily.

The best way is to convert the PDF to other format and convert it to mobile ebook format you want. That depends on the ebook conversion tool you have.

Wazzup Doc? Convert DOC To Repligo

Many times from my previous articles that I mentioned the extension name of the ebook file. When I say doc files, I’m referring to MS Word doc files. Although Quickword can read doc files to mobile phones, it has some limitations like you can’t read some doc files using QuickWord. This is the reason why some mobile ebook readers prefer to have them converted instead.

I’ve used Repligo for Nokia Series 60 2.0 software to convert MS Word doc files. The download link is from cerience, a trial version. Again, its not a free software.

1. I assume that you have Repligo for Nokia Series 60 2.0 installed on your computer.
2. Open the doc file using MS Word.
3. Click file, then print, assign repligo as your printer, then click ok.



4. Wait for a while then you can see the image below on your screen. Type the repligo filename and browse for the location. Click ok



5. Click ok to start the conversion process.



6. Its done, you have now your repligo ebook ready to be read on your repligo viewer.

For easier conversion, repligo button is also at the MS Word  toolbar. Click repligo button, then convert document. Make sure that you assigned repligo as your printer.
