"Txt2Palm: convert text and pdf files to Palmdoc or ztxt"

BSEditor: After unsuccessfully searching the net for the perfect tool to transform electronic books into a format readable by my Palm, I decided to create my own. I found in the internet some freeware libraries from Kryloff technologies that allowed converting different formats to txt files. They had problems with some pdf files, but they worked very well with most of the files I used. They have an explanation in their site about how to use these libraries (which they call filters). I chose Visual Basic because it is an easy language which I am comfortable with. Besides, it creates small executables, provided you have the VB runtime (which most users have).

The application is almost self-explanatory for normal use:
1. Convert the file using the first tab. (Select source file, destination and click on "Convert to txt")
2. Format the file using the second tab and checking and unchecking the desired formatting options. I recommend to check the last option ("open txt after formatting") so you can see how the text looks like after the formatting and make any additional manual modifications.
3. Once the text file looks as you like, you can convert it to AportisDoc, zTXT mode 1 or zTXT mode 2 checking the appropriate option, in the third tab, writing a title and clicking on "Convert to pdb".

zTXT files are significantly smaller than AportisDoc files, but they can only be read on a Palm using Weasel Reader and PalmFiction, as far as I know. Compression mode 1 allows random access to the records. This means that, once the document is in the Palm, the records of the document can be decompressed as needed. Compression Mode 2 on the contrary, requires the document to be completely decompressed before reading it.

If you want to modify any of the default regular expressions used in each formatting step, click on the Advanced... button next to it and make the appropriate modifications. You can test the patterns using the "Test Search" button. you can free download txt2palm 1.6 now.
