Hi, Nacho – welcome to the forum
.
For converting PDFs to Sony’s BBeB format you have a few different options depending on what you mean by “good.”
The tool
pdflrf seems to be the most popular “PDF rasterizer.” It turns a PDF file into a sequence of optimally-sized high-contrast images. The benefits of a rasterizer are that it will pretty much always work andit preserves the original formatting of the PDF. The downside is that it can’t reflow the content, forcing the original text width and the corresponding scaled font-size on the Reader.
One of the tools in kovidgoyal’s awesome
libprs500 is pdf2lrf, which uses the open source pdftohtml to convert PDFs first to HTML then converts that to a BBeB. This sometimes works, but the quality of the output from pdftohtml is pretty variable.
The last option is to use a professional PDF editor like Acrobat to extract the text and save it in a different format.
Hope this helps!
