bad format of pdf ebook reader
Hi,
I have a pdf file with images. When I open it with e-book viewer all images have different size,is very difficult to see the text and some images are bigger than the screen , so i have to scroll for see it . I'm using the version 0.6.44..I don't undestand why it does that...i tried to convert the document in other types but it is the same.. it isn't a problem of my document because I tried with different pdf documents.. Are there any settings that I can do to format it well??? |

Use a PDF reader. calibre's viewer converts PDF's to HTML

The point is that conversion of PDF is never going to yield very good results. So if you want to view a PDF as is, use a PDF viewer, not calibre's viewer.

Since PDF conversion is so hit and miss, do you feel that conversion from PDF to txt (as opposed to mobi for use with a Kindle2) has the best chance of keeping the text as in the original book? (Assuming no images are required.) Thanks for your thoughts. |

No, all conversion go through a pipeline, the output format is only the last stage of the pipeline.

I guess I'll continue to experiment with the "final" output of the PDF's I convert. Sometimes the mobi works out fine, othertimes txt seems to work better. |
