G'day all,

Could someone suggest settings I could use to convert dual-column PDF sources to (preferably) single-column MOBI (or just plain HTML) format?

I've tried "Ignore margins" in the output dialog, and I've also tried changing the line unwrap settings. But while the first column can usually be unwrapped, the second column is ignored.

At the default settings, the output isn't really useable.

I'm trying to convert technical papers that are only available as PDFs to a "nicer" format for my Kindle DX, since the default PDF handling is execrable.

I do understand that this is an extremely complex process, and may not actually be feasible, but if anyone has any suggestions, I would very much like to hear them!

I am able to download newer papers in HTML format from the archive, so that's not a big issue; the problem is the older papers that are just not available except as highly-structured PDFs.

THanks in advance for any suggestions!

Cheers,
Pete
