PDF conversion for Kindle
Option 1 - Converting pdf to mobi:
Did a search but did not find the specific answer to my question.
I did a search and replace of the page headers when I did the conversion and that helped although I was not able to strip the page numbers themselves. Since the page format does not fit the Kindle perfectly, I get page numbers randomly in the top, middle or wherever on the screen. I would like to get rid of them. Any help there would be appreciated.
Option 2 - Just using the pdf:
Sent the original pdf with drm removed, the reason for using calibre in the first place, and it looked pretty good right out the gate. Until that is, you turn to the following pages of any chapter. The first page of each chapter looks great, all subsequent pages are much smaller text with about 1/3 page width margins left and right. So you are looking at a narrow column of very small text. Then the next chapter first page looks great again. Not sure that this is calibre issue or not. The only weird thing is that the page headers and the page numbers don't display in the pdf format, which is what I wanted in the first place.
I know from reading the pdf sticky that the pdf format is the hardest to deal with, but if someone has some information on how to fix either of these issues, that would be great as I can work with either format.
The converted to mobi format at the moment I guess is the least irritating option, just would be nice to remove those page numbers.
Thanks
