PDF conversion ignores images and cropping
Before i put (text based) e-book PDF on my Kindle i crop all the margins/whitespace and headers (repeated chapter names and/or author) and footers (page numbers).
Basically I leave just a few pixels around the text. That way i get the best PDF reading experience. Today, for the first time, i tried converting a PDF to MOBI & EPUB with Calibre. While I was AMAZED by the quality of the conversion there are two main issues i noticed rightaway:
1. No Images. I wonder why?
2. All the header and footer texts are back. I hope that this can be fixed.

Kovid, if you need the PDF file i am using, let me know.


Cheers
