converting in calibre. adding the recipe to my custom recipes and getting news? did that, the pdf articles come up as gibberish. and very long gibberish at that.

any other ideas?

BTW, thank you very much for the help Kovid.

some silly questions that i dont want sidetracking with my maya recipe.
Spoiler:
Starson17 (or anyone who knows), what does 'linearize_tables' do and how do you use it?
as a matter of fact, what do all of them do and how do you use them?
and if i am asking silly questions anyway, is there a way to add the description form the rss feed to the article as a header?
