You can also check the result using MobiPocket Reader on your PC. It should be similar to what you get on the Kindle (differences due to screen size in pixels and the font used). You can change the window size on your PC to about 600x800 to approximate the Kindle.

Some PDFs work well as MOBIs (.prc) and others do not, because the reflowability of PDFs is variable.

If any part of the PDF will end up as images in the MOBI file, they should be JPEG (not GIF) and this may require a change to the default Creator setup.
