But if my understanding of PDF format is correct, it's just text and pictures which are encapsulated using page structures and tags to "fix" the exact look. Unless the document has an exceptionally complicated layout, would it not be easy for the PRS505's software to simply remove the tags to generate a simple flow?
I am asking because I, like many, have been trying unsuccessfully to reflow PDF documents for my sony reader, and my biggest hurdle was removing all the tags and page structures from a 400 pages document and replacing them with the bare minimum to produce an acceptable result (otherwise, even using the "export to html" from acrobat pro, I still got some very weird results). Obviously, I abandoned after a while, but I was wondering with the proper coding skills whether it would be not to difficult to automatize the process? And then even better, to include in the reader's own software?
