As others have mentioned, PDFs are really the wrong format to use on a Kindle.

You want to use Mobi, which is basically the Kindle's native format. To convert a .doc file to that, you really need to first download a program called "Calibre" (google it and you can find it easy. It's free).

Then you want to save your .doc file to .rtf (or Rich Text). Windows Notepad will do this. For some reason, Calibre doesn't seem to convert .doc straight to Mobi (at least it didn't when I just tried it).

Calibre is pretty easy to figure out, if you have questions, just ask. You can also try emailing your docs to Amazon and have them do it, but the results are quite bad.
