PorDiBle is a program created to convert text documents and Palm DOC files. Text files can be dropped onto PorDiBle and will be converted to a compressed .pdb file which can be read by any one of a myriad of Palm ebook readers (SmartDoc, TealDoc, iSilo, etc). Conversely, dropping a DOC .pdb onto PorDiBle will convert back to a text file.
How Does It Work?
Simply drag one or more appropriate files onto PorDiBle and let it do its work. Note that the Palm OS uses a different file name than the actual name of your document. PorDiBle will query you for the name that will appear on the Palm
Double clicking on the PorDiBle application (as opposed to drag/drop) will allow you access to the preferences through the PorDiBle menu. You can specify where files are saved, if PorDiBle should quit when it's finished converting, and if it should delete the original file in this window. These preferences default to the following: ask for save location, quit after processing is complete, and do not delete originals after conversion.
For text clippings you'd like to convert, or text in your clipboard, there is now a "Quick Convert" window (cmd-L or in file menu). Simply paste your text or drag your text clipping into the window and then push convert.
What's New:
PorDiBle now tries harder to convert non ascii characters to ascii. It's still not very smart but at least now smart quotes are converted to 'regular' (non smart) quotes
Pordible now prints a more intelligent error message if it can't convert from pdb->txt
