*Listen* to your script!
Now that you've finished your amazing script, what better way to enjoy it than by *listening*? Simply upload your masterpiece on www.ReadThrough.com, and we'll instantly perform it. Your script is kept private by default, but you can share with anyone you choose, and let your friends (and mom) glow over how brilliant you are.
__________________________Multiple PDFs
So, I've got multiple scripts on the go, as I've been working with a partner, and each one has its own PDF file. I'm wondering if there's a way to combine those PDFs into one file that will meet the 100-page mark, as the three PDFs do add up to 100. (I've checked.)
(Note that I've been using Celtx and MS Word, both of which do support PDF files.)
__________________________Final Draft pdf help
So i was trying to validate my script at the half way mark and exported it from final draft then converted it using one of the free pdf sites and it doubled my page count in the pdf. My question is how do I create a pdf that reflects my true page count.
__________________________Script Writing App for Kindle?
I have a Kindle Fire and I was wondering if anyone knew of a free app for script writing on a kindle that can be used offline. Thank you!
__________________________[OpenOffice] Something to Note That Went Unmentioned in the FAQ on How to Make a PDF
Okay, so I was looking at the FAQs, and it came to my attention that there was something that was overlooked in the section regarding making PDF files. See, I'm using OpenOffice, so I've been trying to figure out for ages how to turn my file into a PDF, and I stumbled upon the solution last night -- go to File, then go down to the option Export as PDF. It will then save your document as a PDF. I don't know if this helps anyone, but I thought it should be mentioned. (P.S. -- This is for OpenOffice 3.2 and may not work on other versions of OpenOffice.)
__________________________celtx vs Trelby
Looking for a desktop screenwriting program for Linux. Is Celtx or Trelby better? How do they compare? Does Celtx install on Ubuntu systems? Is there a big difference in features?
__________________________Robotic Monkey
I read that there are robotic monkey that write scripts. I'll take one. LOL! How much do they cost?
__________________________Screenwriter 6
So all us screenwriting students got Movie Magic Screenwriter 6 for free. Here's the thing though, I've only got my student discount for one more month, so this is my last chance to get Final Draft for $129. Worth it? Or am I better off just sticking with Screenwriter?
__________________________tech question
For those who have lap tops...
Im 13, my birthdays today! I have limited money and i was wondering if getting a lap top is worth it. My siblings are aleays on the computer, so i hand write everything. I do nanowrimo, and both nano campps, script frenzy and legend fire. Is getting a lap top worth it for all the writing i do? If so, what brand?
