I was shocked and amazed by the bias and false claims Priit L wrote. After converting only a few of my completed novel manuscripts written with MS Word 2003 into PDF e-books, ABSOLUTELY NONE of the aforementioned PDF printers formatted my manuscript correctly. So I used Revo Uninstaller to eradicate all of these nuisance PDF printers and went back to my old standard, Primo PDF. IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR ME!! I don't know where you found Primo PDF with OpenCandy, but I never have had any problem with Primo PDF.

Has anyone setup berta on his own webserver? I tried to do so and berta told me "all is okay" (just one no-critical warning: no upload of big pics/videos cause php running as cgi, but all other critical requirements where a "green yes") . created subfolder storage and gave write-permission. Bunch of error-meesages caused not being able to write different stuff -( has anybody the same problem or even better a solution?? thanks Kurt Hi!
