The reason I’m using the pdf format is that it allows my wife to read non-English books (she’s Bulgarian). It seems to me that only pdf’s can properly display non-English characters by embedding Cyrillic and other fonts.
To troubleshoot the problem with the “sudden blank-page death” at page 1001, I did a small experiment. I opened in Word 2007 a large plain text file and then saved it in pdf format using the three available converters:
(1) the embedded in the Word 2007 pdf converter (Save as pdf)
(2) the quick pdf converter, and
(3) the fully functional pdf converter
The last two converters are available in MS Word 2007 as add-ins only if you have the full Adobe Acrobat installed. Long story short, the file converted using the embedded in the Word 2007 pdf converter was the only one in which the pages after page 1000 disappeared.
I do not want to make big conclusions, but it seems that people who read large books (more than 1000 pages) in languages and fonts other than English have only one option, to convert their books with Adobe Acrobat and avoid using the “save as pdf” option in MS Word 2007.
