It can display everything in standard pdfs, like I said, the only issues are sometimes there are clipping issues, you can resolve this by printing it "to pdf" if you have acrobat, you can print to adobe PDF, just input paper size 5.15 x 7.44 inches.

This will also shrink the size of the document and make page turns faster as the kindle doesn't have to scale down each page, or whatever weird things it does.

You do not have to print to image. If you print to PDF, you lose the page numbering system if it is custom (like leading pages with roman numerals, if you have acrobat you can add them back in manually, takes a few seconds to do, just select the pages on right and right click, go page numbers). If you use another software to do the conversion, like nitro PDF or sourceforge it may break down the PDF and merge images incorrectly (not sure). I just know that print to "adobe pdf" that comes with acrobat preserves the pdf 1:1, and elimitates the cropping problem.

Another way to deal with this is to crop the margins, which is faster and gives you more view, like removing the header/footer page numbers and border (you dont need this since the kindle shows page numbers of PDFs anyways) and if it doesn't sync up with the page numbers in the document, you can easily renumber the page numbers with most PDF editing software (such as acrobat) as discussed above.
