I suggest not using light grey type in the URL input field.

Also, could it sense what country the requester is from and use English if from the US?

I tried this on three sites:

1) http://www.bostonreview.net/BR37.4/oded_naaman_israeli_defen... -- looked perfect

2) http://www.freakangels.com/ -- formatting error at bottom text

3) http://mikecanex.wordpress.com/ -- it substituted the typeface

I think there might already be other services like this out there.

Thanks for the tests. I'll check why it has these errors. I agree completely on the language. I had the idea in mind that the PDF websites were all in english and thought an spanish version would make some difference at least in that market. I should probably translate it in more languages.
