Thanks kiwi-dude ... I had started reading that post, but didn't finish it as it appeared not to apply to what I was after.

OK Kovid ... I respectfully request that you please give the new PDF engine a higher priority. I certainly could use it!!!!!! While I do have a lot of nice HTMLs, RTFs, and ePUBs, most of the files I'm forced to work on are grungy PDFs.

And thanks for the recommendations, jackie_w ... unfortunately I'm on a Mac ... but fortunately I'm also running Windows 7 as a virtual machine on my Mac! I'll look at anything that might make my conversions simpler and less labor intensive.

I understand how much fun illustrated documents and technical manuals are. You can probably guess how much time and fun I had getting my copy of Piers Anthony's "Visual Guide to Xanth" online and properly formatted with all the illustrations. I started over from scratch three different times as I learned new ways to do things, and when I changed eReaders, which changed my eBook formats.
