General TalksSoftware and Hardware DiscussionConvert PDF files to LIT (MS Reader)??

28 Sep 2009, 23:21

Hi guys,

I wasnt sure where to post this, so if it is in the wrong bit, i apologise. I just seem to spend most of my time in this section pouring over luscious reading material... ;( :DDD

Anyway... I really appreciate the people who post/upload the books in any format, but my personal preference is to read it in .lit files.

The problem is, ive found on here apps that can be used to convert lit to pdf but not the other way round, which is what i want to do.

Does anyone know how i can do this? If it needs explaining, please do it in basic layman terms, lol!!! :DDD

Many thanks for any help :)

The files I found are usually in PDF and most people seem to like PDF, I just shared the original files
But I use MobiPocket reader to read especially on Windows Mobile device and it's easy coz you can just Drag & Drop(or open) the PDF file in MPReader and it will automatically create the .PRC file (in the Mobipocket folder which we can set) which the I can transfer to my Windows Mobile device

If you want to convert to other format I will also suggest using MobiPocket Creator
to get a HTML file first, which can be used to convert to LIT
1) When you open the software, choose "Import from Existing Files"--> Adobe Files

2) At the next page, remember where your Publication folder is or you can use the second Browse to set where you will save the file(s).
Then use the First Browse button to select the PDF file you want to convert and click the Import button

3) Once done, you can actually ignore the Creator. Go to the folder where you have set it where the files will be saved and you should have a folder with HTML files and possible some images files. Then using your normal LIT converter, just use that to convert the HTML to LIT

Even though it seems double the steps, but I found most PDF-to-LIT converter may or may not convert the files properly. So far I'm okay using the Mobipocket Creator, (but as mentioned, I actually used Mobipocket to read)


ETA: or another alternative
You can also use the search term "mobileread E-book conversion" and the first search result in Google will lead you to their wiki where they have listed down possible converters for all formats

i use removed uncoded link you can download the lit, text and palm converters for free. you have to purchase the pdf converter. it gives more options than you think. with the lit converter you can take lit files and turn them in to text, pdf, palm, and even web files.

just zip the .exe file and upload it on any filehosting sites. I usually convert the pdf to a text file using the built in converter in adobe and then convert the text file into lit using ms-word. Although u need the .lit add-on for ms-word installed.
