I extract the SVG images (xhtml files) using help from good ole Alf then use a free program called Prince to convert each image into a pdf file.

I then use Acrobat Pro to merge the pdf files into one single pdf which is full of the SVG images. I then crop the pdf to remove the arrows and gray border leaving only the text area.

The final result makes a good PDF readable on your PC or run through a OCR program to covert to a text editable format. The image PDF is not recommend for an eReader. The book I did the PDF size was 100MB when done.
