I did try Ghostview but with encryted books it did not work.  I did find a
solution to print the book automatically with one click using Wintask and MS
Word by recording script to capture each page in MS Reader, pasting into MS
Word, print, going backing to reader , advance next page and repeating.  I now
have a huge 3 ring binder with the entire book printed in nice easy to read
text.

My first impression of the "The Soviet Chess Conveyor" , by Mikhail
Shereshevsky,is  that it may be the best chess book ever written for someone
rated 1700-2100 to improve his game.   It would even be useful by Chess
programmers, as there are execellent ideas on how to improve one's Opening
repertoire.

It's not surprising that this is best selling Chess ebook of all time.  The
wealth of chess ideas you get for this $8 ebook (536 pages) is amazing.  It is
the best $8 I ever spent related on  anything to chess.   This book is one of
this books that you spend 2 hours with it with it on your chess computer and you
cover maybe 2 or 3 pages.  It will takes hours to go through this book in the
depth it deserves.

I cannot say enough good things about this book and now that I printed it - it
has made all my ebook problems seem small and obscure and has turned my ebook
experience into something very positive.

Best,

Michael
