It chose a really weird 13.5-point font size that made the non-italics look like they were bolded, but that was a simple global change. it fully retained the single-character ligature for "fl," and I havent double-checkrd to see if it still displays properly on my reader, but looks good in MS Word.

Export to RTF, on the other hand, looks like garbage...
I did use Acrobat 8 to export this PDF to HTML 4.1 with CSS and it didn't come out as good as I would have liked. I've been searhing/replacing to find where the fi got lost. Seems it's screwed up in the original HTML. I can fix it there, but I would lose all the formatting I've done. Also there are spots where the paragraphs are just awful. Overall, I think TOR dropped the ball with this one. What TOR should have done if they had wanted it to be PDF is make it for a 6" eink screen and then we would have been OK. But as it is, it's a nightmare to convert it. Mobipocket Creator did even worse then Acrobat.
