Hi all....

I have followed all of the great introductory material posted on this site and am now trying to convert a large PDF file (+25MB) to .prc for Kindle using PDFReader (which is an outstanding utility, by the way). I'm most likely missing a setup step when preparing for the conversion, but the resulting .prc file is only a page-size image (i.e. can't be zoomed to the text level). Is this because I need to OCR the text in PDF stage or am I missing a function that will handle the issue in PDFReader?

Thanks in advance for the assistance and thanks to all who have posted the helpful content. The anti-flame disclaimer is that I have read so much background, this probably simple factor is escaping my brain!
