When converting PDFs to MobiPocket for my Cybook I have so far used MobiPocket Creator and Adobe Acrobat v6.

I think that the best result is archived if I export the PDF to HTML from Acrobat and then convert the HTML file to .prc using MopiPocket Creator, instead of converting directly from PDF to .prc in MobiPocket creator.

As far as I know I could also use BookDesigner for this task.

The conversion is never perfect and there are always issues with formatting.

How do you extract your PDFs? What is the best current tool/process? Will I archive better results if I update Acrobat to the latest version?
