Maybe I should use Acrobat to save the pdf pages as tiff's, and convert them?

Or it is just too late...

Anyways, I am really thinking of getting a Kindle DX Graphite, in the near future...it should be big enough to read pdf's, at least in landscape mode.
Abby FineReader is best for OCR'ing technical documents. It has the ability to "print" PDFs into RAM and OCR the virtual image on-the-fly.

Tech documents is one of the areas where PDF documents make some sense but you need to remember there is a big difference between a 300dpi A4 page and even a Kindle DX's eink screen. As I said above: don't expect Nirvana.
