JPD · 09-29-2010, 02:10 AM

I transferred about 50 assorted pdfs from calibre to my kindle dx (no conversion, straight pdfs). When I try to open them on the kindle, every one gives a message, 'this pdf cannot be opened dut to embedded features not yet supported by kindle'. Many of these pdfs I had previously installed on the kindle by synching and dragging from my desktop, and they opened fine. After discovering calibre, I deleted them from the kindle, put them in calibre, and completed all their metadata. Since the metadata is the one obvious change, I suspect the problem may lie there, but can't imagine why. I apologize if this thread already exists; I did a search, and brief scan, without seeing anything similar.
