Sony Reader Touch PRS-600 Logo
Posted on Jan 09, 2011

I transferred a PDF file from the Reader library on my MAC to the device but am only able to see about 18 of 484 pages. I checked the files on my MAC and in the Reader while attached to the MAC and I can see the whole book. Also, the device shows total # of pages 489 and I can see the last few pages of the book. Why am I unable to read all the pages on my device?

I am not an expert on PDF's and I also have no experience with Apple OS, but I use a Sony PRS-600 and I thought of something that may possibly help you.

There could be some formatting commands or conditions contained within your PDF file that conflict with the Sony software and prevent portions of the file from being accessed. I suggest you try to reformat the file to see if you can get a "clean" version of the file. To do this you will have open the document and select "Print", however this is done on the MAC. This will send the opened file to a virtual printer and format it into a PDF file, hopefully creating a fresh copy that will be readable on the Sony.

In order for to you to be able to "print" PDF files you will need to install a suitable print driver.. I assume there are print drivers for the MAC, just as there are for the PC. Check the following website for more information on PDF printing on MAC's.

http://en.kioskea.net/faq/454-pdf-for-mac-os

There are numerous other websites dedicate to the download of freeware that can help you set this up.

For example -
http://download.cnet.com/Convert-to-PDF/3000-2084_4-10914935.html?tag=mncol;7

Having enabled your computer to print PDF's, open the PDF file in question on your MAC. Make sure, as mentioned in your message that all pages are accessible, then select the print command and re-print the file to PDF again. Transferring the file to the Sony device will then confirm if this approach is successful. This is not a proven solution but worth trying nonetheless. Good luck.

What is meant by PDF in used in scanning?

If you are asking about the "SCAN TO PDF" button, it allows the scanner to create a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. PDF files are files that can be viewed with the free Adobe Reader software. The PDF format files are easy to store on your computer and easy to share. PDF files can have many pages. Image files, like JPG, can only hold one page per file.

If you use PDF files, make sure you only get the reader software from Adobe.com.

No Mac iPhone sync.

If you don't want to sync iPhone to Mac when connecting to iTunes, check below steps to stop it. Actually, Leawo iTransfer will be a great choice to sync iPhone and Mac. And it won't sync iPhone and Mac automatically.

Step 1. Run Leawo iTransfer for Mac and Connect iPhone

Launch Leawo iTransfer for Mac after installing it on your new Mac computer. When the software indicates that you can connect your iOS device, plug your iPhone to Mac via the USB cable. The software will automatically detect your iPhone and show the Libraries on the left sidebar. The files will show on the right part of the window after you choose a library.

Step 2. Select Files to Sync
Choose a Library and the all the files in the library will show on the right part of the software (Set the Music Library as an example). Click the transfer button (the right arrow in a dark-blue rectangle) at the right bottom to transfer all the files to computer. Or you can hold Ctrl key and click to choose certain files, and then right click the chosen files and choose "Transfer to > My Computer".
Step 3. Transfer Settings
After choosing files, a dialog of transfer settings comes out. In this dialog, you are able to check "Transfer to List" and "Save to Folder". Checking "Transfer to List" can make sure your files be transferred to iTunes; Check "Save to Folder" and click "Change" to choose a target folder to save the transferred files. If you are using a new computer and the iTunes is newly installed, I suggest you check both options. After choosing target folder, click "Transfer Now" to start to sync iPhone to new computer.
Step 4. Syncing iPhone to Mac
When the transfer begins, you will see a dialog of transfer process. A progress bar in the dialog will show you the percentage of the syncing process. When the syncing process is finished, you will find all the files in your target folder and iTunes.
Leawo iTransfer for Mac will help you with the data transfers that iTunes cannot accomplish, but it can't replace iTunes. Leawo iTransfer provides solutions for the Apple product users who are coming up with transfer problems and makes the iPod, iPad and iPhone data transfers extremely easy. Therefore, if you want to get rid of iTunes synchronization, you can try to use the software.

It takes hours, 3 or more hours to load a single pdf file to my reader from te library, you can multiply that for each file when I try to load multliple files. and oftem a good porcentage (20-25% maybe...

hacerhistori,

Probably a problem with this file in particular, you can try the following:

1. Try to transfer another file (Sony has on his store several freebooks)
2. If this "other file" transfer fine, then its a problem with the PDF you are trying to transfer, my recomendation will be to convert this file into EPUB or reconvert again to PDF
3. If the problem still persist with all files, you can try a soft reset by pressing the reset at the bottom of the reader.
4. If that doesnt make any difference, you will probably need to do a hard reset, this will set the unit to factory settings, but you will lose all the information.

hope this helps

How do i convert PDF to ePub on Mac to read on iPad, iPhone, iPod touch?

At the very beginning of this article I would like to make the difference between ePub and PDF clear:
PDF is pre-paginated and not easily re-flowed. You can see upper moving left when you zoom in a PDF, and PDF is a print and print-archive format. ePub content, like XHTML, is re-flowable. If paginated, when zoomed, there will be more "pages", OPS is a re-flowable "electronic content" format, and that's why Adobe's Digital Editions has adopted ePub.

Okay, I guess many of you got lots of eBooks in PDF and other formats, but many e-readers, for instance Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Hanlin eReader and phones/devices using Android only support specific formats just like ePub with their default reader apps, especially newly-released and hot iPad\iPhone 4. What's the best way to convert those PDFs to ePub?

Yep, you may say "we got so many freebies converter work on PC", but what about the people who is a Mac user? How do they transfer PDF on Mac to read on iPad, iPhone, iPod touch? This is the reason why I am writing this article. How do I convert PDF to ePub on Mac to read on iPad\iPhone\iPod touch?

Here is my procedure, you may learn something from it and if you have any ideas, you can comment on it. In the following steps, you will need these tools: AnyBizSoft PDF to EPub for Mac (Which I strongly recommend it) and iTunes.

First of all, you need to convert your PDFs to ePubs on Mac, and then you can transfer newly minted eBooks to your i-device via iTunes.

Transfer ePub to i-device
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and the second- and third-generation iPod touch users can read ebook directly on their devices via iBooks app too, since iOS 4 is released on 21st June 24, 2010. Next, we have to transfer your newly minted epub books into iTunes. Locate your .epub files and drag them into the Library section of iTunes. If you didn't have any ebooks in iTunes to begin with, a new Books folder will be created for you. Note: Please ensure that you drag your epub files into the Library section and not directly into your iPad\iPhone\iPod touch (under Devices). Doing so will cause iTunes to throw an error message and crash.

All that's left to do is sync your books onto your iPad\iPhone\iPod touch. This process isn't any different than syncing music, apps, movies etc.

Now you can enjoy your eBooks on iPad, iPhone, iPod touch! Happy reading!
