Default Repligo Content

Does anyone know where I can download content for the Repligo Viewer. I know I can buy the converter and do it myself, but was just wondering if someone has taken the time to make their collection available.

I've been making a RepliGo version of the reviews that I write for this site, but the simple truth is that unfortunately, RepliGo just isn't that popular yet. I suspect it will be quite some time before we start to see content available in anywhere near the quantity of, say, Adobe Acrobat files. I use RepliGo almost everyday for something, but I always have to create the files myself.

What method do you use for creation please? I've this morning re-installed Repligo (trial), this time without the Office Integration option. Last time I seemed to get some sort of conflict with the Add-In which Repligo placed in Word 2000. So far I haven't tried creation again, but hope I'll get the hang...

I have tended to get better results if I don't install the Office Integration. I just print to Repligo.

There are some posts on this issue over at the Repligo forum in the Cerience website. www.cerience.com

Definitely. The Office integration works well for some situations, but I've found that printing to the Repligo driver works well all the time.

Thanks for the follow-ups.

Re my earlier post, that 'trial' didn't work (presumably because I'd finished a previous trial a week or so ago), so I'm now a registered user!

Yes, using the Print route seems the way to go. Frankly, even disregarding the problems I had which apparently implicated it, I'm not clear why Repligo offer 'Office Integration'. For the price of a little extra complexity (those 'COM Add-ins'), it just seems to add a tool icon to Word, Excel, etc. So that's one click instead of two (Print>Repligo) to get same result? Or have I missed something fundamental?

The first few files I created gave mixed results. My large TXT looked fine. But my few trial HTM were all 'cut off' on the right. I need to repeat that hasty exercise more carefully, but can anyone please point me to likely cause please?

Set the document margin to 0 might help.

I'm very happy with RepliGo. I converted many pdf documents to rgo format and they are in much small size and load quickly. Acrobat has all the bells and whistles, but most of time, I just want to read some documents, and Repligo is way faster and more portable.

Changing topic, after a couple of days with Repligo I like it a lot, but was very surprised there's no SEARCH feature. Scouring a 200 page converted user guide for a particular keyword is pretty tedious.

Yeah, the fact that it doesn't have the search feature is the one disadvantage it has over PDFs.
I have both Acrobat and Repligo on my computer and the only reason I use PDFs on my PPC is if I believe I might have to search the document. Hopefully Repligo will be able to do this in future revisions.
Anyone know if they're working on this?
