Convert .rgo Files To Pdf

Simply press the Print button once you have chosen novaPDF as a printer and your LIT file will be converted to a PDF. Convert LIT to an open source format (htm) using ConvertLIT GUI ConvertLIT GUI is an open source tool used specially for converting LIT files to open source formats such as htm.

I didn't post the original question but am seeing the same thing. A couple of points. When I attempted to sudo apt-get install convlit heredoc I get the complaint that convlit is the lastest already and apt is unable to find heredoc. Whether I run the initial downloaded script or the new one you posted above I get the same results from X Message: 0 file(s) created. Delete.lit file now?

I thought at first it might be permission related and made sure the script is owned by me. But no change, same result. So I then copied the script to a folder I use as a catchall to run tests in my home and attempted to run the script from the command line as shown below with the results. It looks to me as convlit is choking and perhaps this is about heredoc. I don't know this software and am just about to start Googling. Initially I assumed you meant htmldoc. Maybe this is wrong.
I hope this helps, this is a great idea, I know Calibre will open Lit files but I really like to keep as little as possible on my netbook and want to reduce apps wherever I can this script would help in that.

Exploded 'To Kill a Mockingbird.lit' into '/home/stat/.lit2pdf/To Kill a Mockingbird.lit-0/'. Well, I certainly have done something incorrect but not sure what. I have (and always had htmldoc (version 1.8.27) and convlit. I downloaded your script again to my home directory - scripts 2. Chmod +x lit2pdf.txt to make it exectuable 3.

Sudo mv lit2pdf.txt /usr/bin/lit2bin as shown above in your instructions. Then I select the lit file I want to convert and select the command I want to use in custom command. Your instructions say to use lit2pdf to convert the file but that seems counter intuitive since in step 3 we changed the name to lit2bin as you instructed above so I chose lit2bin from the usr/bin folder thinking that is what you meant. I also changed the file to lit2pdf but same result so I don't think it has anything to do with the name of the file and probably nothing to do with where it is as long as it is executable. Regardless of whether I use that or just use a copy of your script that I downloaded and left in the same folder to test with (after making executable) I get the same results as already noted.
Pretty sure I am missing something and just not sure what it is. This would seem relatively straight forward and to be honest at this point it is less about using this tool than trying to figure out what I did wrong or am doing wrong. Last edited by statmonkey; April 30th, 2009 at 06:44 AM.
