I get the following error when I click the "Export as PDF" button in Quick PDF:

Error!
Could not locate remote server

You tried to access the address http://dantesoft.info/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
Make sure your Internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection are working.

Clicking on the Export as PDF button, it takes me to dantesoft.info whereas it should ask for the filename to save as, right? What's wrong with this thing? ow do other people use it?

Nice thing, but I would like to see some kind of resizer since I can't find it in this one.

But nice to see such a handy little tool!

By Yamiking, # Dec 27, 2006 2:30:12 PM

By Ramunas, # Nov 19, 2006 11:00:55 PM

Looks fine on my linux (debian). Nice idea, i'll keep an eye on it.

By splondike, # Nov 15, 2006 11:10:23 AM

Eexcellent idea!
Will there be an import feature to import txt files or text related files?

By kickthekitty, # Nov 14, 2006 3:23:30 PM

By Strumerly, # Nov 13, 2006 7:49:21 PM

It doesn't look right on Linux, here's a screenshot: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2501/screenshotxf9.png

Great stuff!!!
Its awesome to see your idea in action only a few days after the discussion on thursday.

On a side note though, it would be better if you used random pdf document names, since I was able to just change the number at the end of the file name to fetch other pdf documents. Not something most people would be comfortable about, I guess.
