Hi,
First at all, congratulations for your software... It is really amazing!
However, this last time I am experiencing problems with the pdfs in my kindle paperwhite.

I convert pdf files to read them in the kindle.
I had done it before without problems, but there is a book (it looks very normal) in wich I can not see some characters in the kindle after the conversion.

If I open the converted file in my PC it works fine, but after sending the file I can not read some letters or other characters in the reader, for example there are missing letters in some words (in place of the letter is nothing, I mean the space is empty), or for example some numbers in the index, etc.

I tryied opening the files directly in my android device, using the kindle app, but it happens exactly the same.

Do you know what can I do?

I really need to read that book.

Tanks a lot!

There are multiple reasons why certain characters may not display correctly. See this post, for example. In that case it was an apparent JBIG decoder bug in Amazon's firmware. If you are converting a JBIG PDF using native mode, this could be happening. Or it may just be a different font issue. Can you post a screen shot of your k2pdfopt settings? Also, can you post or PM me the source PDF file? That would help the most.
