At least you can define you preferred fonts and font sizes and other formatting options in BD.
So reformatting the text is done mostly in MP and the look and feel is done mostly by BD.

I've got a large technical manual PDF (including many screenprints and diagrams), and was having a lot of problems trying to convert it. Tried this combination, and am very happy with the results. The only problem I have is that if I use the MP-created HTML/image files in libprs500, I get all of the images included in an almost-correctly formatted document (only minor paragraph/line-spacing inaccuracies), but if I open the same HTML file in BD, I can sort out the little formatting problems, but the document doesn't pick up the image files. Does anyone have any ideas why BD would ignore the image files?
At the moment, I'm using the libprs500-produced LRF and ignoring the little mis-formattings, and would recommend the conversion procedure for anyone who is having problems getting a readable PDF conversion. I've successfully used PDFLRF and other PDF converters in the past for different docs, but this particular manual was a real pain in the backside, and Shen's method was the only one which gave me an acceptable document.
