OK... I know you guys are focused mainly on web-based stuff, but you also have some awesome non-web software.

NOW... I am in need of (1) a PDF creator and packager & (2) a way to take those PDFs and make them into PROTECTED E-books. But I also want to be able to let them go as PLR packages to those who want that as well.

I have checked out a LOT of the stuff already out there, downloaded a LOT of trials.... I just can't find anything that fits exactly what I want at a price I can afford... nor anything as simple and inexpensive as what CC usually has to offer me. Most of them are outrageously priced and very hard &/or confusing to use.

I LOVE all the software here (and yes, I have all but 1 or 2 programs now!) and I love the S-Drive as well (although I don't use it much... YET) :-)

But I really need help with this one, and I would really like to see CC come up with a great, simple solution for me. I know you all can do it!

Thanks

I bought PDFilleditor cost $20 great value. I use it now for help files. Create the pdf's first then there are a number of ways to protect them. One step at a time. Once the text and formatting is complete then consider what other form to deliver the work. The Kindle is a current reader that may require a special tool to use. Best of luck with your project Kim

I checked it out and got the free version. I am purchasing this TODAY! :) I already have the Kindle convert program. Now to see if it keeps the protection after it is converted. Even if it doesn't, I still LOVE this program!

COFFEECUP -- you should do stuff like this for us, too! At least think about it ? I know a lot of people that are seeking reliable, good software at reasonable prices (too much of it is inflated), that is EASY to use. I would be more than happy to send them to CC!

THANK YOU PRISM! You have been a great help to me!

I only just spotted your thread and wondered if you have tried Calibre for e-book conversion. I use it all the time to convert plain text to epub for my Kobo e-reader. It's free, and being developed continually, I think there's an update every Friday with more features for a program that is already superb. It will convert pretty much all e-book formats. :)
When everything is running sweet, that's the time to worry!

There is much available for this sort of work at no charge under Linux. Install Ubuntu Linux yourself and then have a look at the available software. Or ask a friend who uses Ubuntu to let you perform a search on his system.

Yes, I looked just like that in 1962.
