Comics on Iphone, example Iron Man

[Otsugua]

Im not sure how successful other have been with transferring comics on the iphone. I am eagerly waiting for an application that will read .cbz and .cbr files for the iphone. Until then I've just unzipped the files and combined the jpegs into a single .pdf.

After I made the .pdf, i just emailed them to myself and would read them during class or in waiting rooms.
I know this is a very common practice already, I just wanted to share an example.

This is the first Tales Of Suspense, that Iron Man makes an appearance.

in later issue i would just delete the extra stuff like......anything that isnt related to iron man to make a smaller file.

if anyone wants some more, i can email you the other files i have.

How did you do this? (I'm on OS X)


I know how to get the jpegs out of the .cbr/.cbz, just not sure how to get them all into one PDF. Thanks!

I'm not sure how to make a pdf on the mac, but I do know that google is very helpful in these situations.

God, how unnecessarily complicated.

Mac has native PDF support. Any document that can be printed can be printed into a PDF. The best option here is to print from a comic viewer application and print to a PDF which can be sent via email.

Ahhh...there it is. I was just unsure how to link all the pages together (didn't really want to e-mail myself 30 pages per comic)

Why not have as a jpeg? i know downloading the little PDF isnt a problem for iPhone users, but what about touch users? when im not near wifi?

The image compression by the iPhone/iPod Touch makes the image pretty much unreadable as a comic, and zooming only makes it worse. I'll try out the PDF method tonight.
