PDF conversion problems.

Hi gents

Now I know everybody says that there are often problems converting pdf files & they explain why & sometimes suggest remedies. Unfortunately I usually have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

The manual, most of the time, is just complete gibberish to me (I just read something - "This expression is rather complex" - I just had to laugh; rather complex? it's a foreign language!)

Now I love Calibre & I love my Kindle & for reasons best kept to myself, .pdf files are the ones I usually have to deal with.

I'm generally not bothered too much about the outputted format (spaces etc) but lately I have had some books which give just one line a page, occasionally just a letter per page sometimes a part of a para. Some others just print it in alternate lines i.e. has to be read Line 1, then Line 3, then Line 2, then Line 4 (which removed the middle portion of the line to Line 5) & then on to Line 6.
Even I couldn't read a book like that!

So could somebody please take pity on a helpless old man? Is there a quick fix that a Luddite like me could understand & cope with?

Thanks for any help you can give
Larry
