Kindle Sender 1.3 - Convert Word documents and send them to Kindle, automatically!
In my previous post (Czech only) I showed a way to manually optimize a Word document and export it to PDF so it would fit your Kindle 3 properly. After a few days of coding and testing I am ready to release a Word 2007/2010 add-in, which does the adjustments automatically and just by clicking a few buttons sends the document to the entered Kindle e-mail address. Yup, simple as that!
The add-in sets width to 9 cm and height to 12 cm, adjusts any overlapping images and tables, changes font size and font type in the whole document to values set up in the settings and a few more tweaks. After the file is sent, the add-in creates a back-up in the Documents\Kindle Sent Files folder. New version will inform you of new updates and allows you to export the customized PDF only, without having to enter your account credentials.
This add-in is meant for people with needs similar to mine, which means reading technical documents on the small Kindle screen. And I can tell you it does its work perfectly, just look at the screenshot below.
Finally, I would like to thank Tomáš Kápl for help with testing of this little piece of software.

Now for the most interesting part - HERE's the link!
For those interested about changes made between versions, here's the changelog.
INSTALLATION ERROR?
If you encounter an error while installation of this add-in (setup.exe), try installing the following little app first: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=158917
The add-in needs certain files for its functionality and those files are simply missing on some configurations with Office 2007.
And by the way, I would really appreciate if you included a link to this blogpost when you share this add-in with the rest of the world, cheers!
