PDF file on Nook
So I have a pdf file that is useless on the Nook. It is basically pictures of every single page of a book so it doesn't convert to text but to picture files. Is there any way to make this work on the nook so I can actually read the content within the pictures? As it stands now, the text is way, way too small to read.

Have you changed the font size? That should be possible. If not and if it is a normal pdf book just transfer it to epub e.g. with calibre.

No that doesn't really work because it is being treated as a picture, not text. So I can increase the font size until the 'picture' takes up the whole screen, but it isn't allowing the text to be large enough. Maybe I can submit a couple of pages of the pdf for people to see what I mean. It is a copyrighted book, but 2 pages of it should be fine...right?

It sounds like it's a PDF full of scanned images of this book. Unless you are willing to OCR every page and then correct any and all errors, you may as well delete it.

I actually might be willing to do that.....suggestions on good ocr software that will help in this process. I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it to me in the end.

Any pdf file will load, but if it is picture only it might be tough to see the content. Just give it a shot and see how they look.

For scanned images, the display size should be as close as possible to the original (usually A4/letter). And the respective reader should be able to do zoom, reflow won't be working here.
