I'm very frustrated here. I don't know what the file formats are or what they are for. I've read all the documentation that came with the software. I've also read the first page or so of this thread.

Here is the problem, I have a fully searchable PDF. Everything time i convert my PDF to mobi, i get static text which I cannot select or search. This is not what i expected. Is this the only way that this software converts? Is there other software that will allow me to maintain a fully searchable file? I want to be able to highlight text and add notes just as i would a regular Kindle or Sony file.

Many of my PDFs do contain Greek and Hebrew characters. This one only contains a few Greek words.

Thanks!
