A user asked me to make some pictures of programming PDFs for the Sony Reader, well here they are. Some excerpts from the book Elsevier’s C Sharp 2.0 Practical Guide for Programmers (2005)

First set are three pictures of the PDF itself, loaded directly into the reader (no processing) Click to see large pic

The same set, but then rasterized with RasterFarian

As you can see, the letters are much better readable when rasterized, higher contrast too. But even without processing, the PDF is quite readable.

Strange enough though, the rasterizedLRF-file is 5MB big, compared to the original 3.5MB. It’s probably the price to pay for the extra contrast .
