MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Troubleshooting Problem with a few pdfs on Kindle

Most of the time, when I put pdf files on my Kindle DX, everything is fine -- it is quite readable. However, every once in a while -- maybe 5% of the time -- I have a strange problem. The pdf file looks normal on my computer, but on the Kindle it comes out with different sentences or different lines in different fonts and sizes -- as a result it is unreadable, the changes are too distracting.

So I am wondering if anyone can tell me why this happens, and what I can do about it? I have been unable to determine any common factor among the pdf files that do not render correctly. They all look normal on my computer screen, and when I look at the metadata there is no common factor among the files that fail to render correctly on the Kindle.

Has anybody else had this problem? Any suggestions?

thanks.
