I also had a PDF-conversion error.
When I tried to convert the free PDF 'Assassin's Apprentice' by Robin Hobb (found on the Suvudu-site (www.suvudu.com)), Calibre said the PDF was DRM-protected. But I could convert the PDF without problems using Mobipocket creator, so there is something not completely correct in Calibre. |

does calibre v. 5 also support only pdf versions up to 1.5?
if this is the case, the software may be of only limited use to me. i'm trying to convert a 2mb pdf v. 1.6 right now as a test, and it's been running for a while. shouldn't it fail immediately if it's not going to work? (it's an e-book made freely available to the world.) Last edited by thorn; 03-11-2009 at 10:12 PM. |

I would try the Ghostscript utilities.
Maybe convert the PDF to PS and back to PDF at a version lower. http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/index.htm |
