Nook & PDF

hoyboysx2 · 11-03-2010, 09:17 AM

Hi,
I am sure this has been addressed here before, but when I just loaded a pdf file to my nook it was full of gibberish. When I tried to convert it to epub it was too small to read. Is there any way around these problems?

Hey there. Welcome to MR!

You might get a better response if you post in the Nook forum. That is the forum that Nook users are most likely to check out when they come by.

A lot depends on how the PDF was created, by what software (Adobe or a third party), whether the PDF was tagged for reflow. Tagged PDFs created from MS Word, for example, will usually reflow and display fine on the Nook. A PDF that is basically a photocopy of a page, or one that has regenerated the text through PostScript, may not.

What do you know about the origin of the PDF?
