With the launch of the new version 1.5.0 , eBook Factory no longer requires the legacy plugin. Starting with 1.5.x the Joomla extension will run only on Joomla 1.5.x platforms. Joomla 1.0.x users still have the old product line till version 1.3.x. 

The major change of the component in the new version, is not the Joomla 1.5 compatibility but the integration of a new PDF generator. The new PDF renderer has better UTF support and several other improvements.

eBook Factory is the only component who can build full eBooks out of the Joomla content of your site, like sections, categories and articles.

eBook Factory renders a PDF out of the content items of your site in matter of minutes and stores it on your server in order to have it ready for download or newsletter mailings!

Since Joomla’s own PDF engine is merely a basic text to PDF convertor (being able to generate only the current page), we put our best work into developing a component. This component not only respects the standard layout of an eBook, but also includes Graphics, Fonts, and External Links that you used in your content.

All of your work is done in the administration panel of Joomla. There, you can create a set of eBooks containing Chapters and sub-chapters from your content items. You can use the Sections and/or Categories: as Chapter titles, as well as Sub-chapters.

All of the Page numbering, and Table of Contents numbering is done automatically. You will be able to choose between Roman, Arabic numbering, and even have the option to use letters for sub-chapters.

Fonts and styles can be set for each eBook individually, and you can use a cover image to brand your eBook.

Any eBook can have unlimited numbers of columns, which will aid in making your eBook look professional, and easy to read. In order to obtain a clear visualization of the generated eBooks some of the initial browser page formatting like table tags where intentionally omitted and will not be parsed by the component. 

Please read our "eBook Factory Tutorial" to get a quick walkthrough through all the Components Features and Configuration Options.

With eBook Factory you can also add chapters and sub-chapters from Virtuemart and Auction Factory.

VirtuemartSay for instance you want to create an electronic Catalog out of your products in your Virtuemart eCommerce shop. All you have to do is add Categories or individual Items into an eBook and by rendering all products in that category will be pulled in your catalog. You can fully control the way your catalog looks by editing the templates handling the Virtuemart plugin. These are simple HTML files that can be edited without any PHP knowledge whatsoever.
For existing users the update policies are like usual available on the forum.
