The best way to create high quality PDF ebooks.. Buzzword by Acrobat

Wynter Jones · 09-02-2009, 08:38 PM

I have been doing a ton of writing recently to create some ebooks,
using Adobe inDesign is sometimes clunky and slow to create decent ebooks..

So I decided to find a different way to produce the ebooks
and then I found Buzzword, it is an online text processor that
outputs to PDF, .DOC, etc

(It's owned by Acrobat so you can be assured
it's the highest quality free web app available.)

Not only is it really easy, but it's got the best user interface design
and the typography is always good no matter what setting.

Check it out: https://buzzword.acrobat.com/

Just thought I'd let everyone know incase anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Wynter: Thanks for posting the link. Am off to check it out. Can you tell my quickly whether or not you can add clickable links in the pdf documents you create with this service?

Yea, i would also like to know that too, can you add clickable links in it?- using this software ?

Good question, Val! At first look I didn't think it was possible, but I found out how.

Just highlight any piece of text and go to Insert in the top menu and click on Link

Pretty helpful web application, you can also import .doc files
from your computer to edit inside the editor, incase Microsoft Word is not available.

Is their free PDF service still limited to 5 PDF files? It was because of that I ended up using OpenOffice Writer...

Wynter Jones · 09-03-2009, 03:07 AM

Colin, I also like OpenOffice and have been using that
as I don't have Microsoft Word. I am not sure about the 5 pdf limitation,
what I have been doing is exporting the document to PDF
and DOC files and then overwrite the text on the pages and rewrite it.
I have been able to export more than 30 to PDF more than 30+ times already.

I also dig the typography and focus on design with the app.
Attached is a ebook template PDF and DOC file that anyone can
use and import to the Buzzword text processor and edit.

If you use OpenOffice to view the attached .doc file the fonts
will be different than the sample .pdf file. But if you import it
into Buzzword it uses some fonts that most computers don't have installed.

Here is a quick ebook template that I thought has good typography
(considering some ebooks don't bother at all! :| )
