That size is ok. I have sometimes single html files with 10Mb and bigger in a book and these kind of books make trouble in ADE.
BTW, my hw is potent enough (i guess...) as I use that pc for more challenged activities like video cutting
Anyway, your answer sounds like there is a problem in the HTML code. Had you checked the code with e.g. calibre editor for general html code problems? Or make a EPUB to EPUB conversion for that book. This should correct possible html errors in an ebook.
A test with calibre viewer isn't a real quality check for ebooks because the viewer havn't the limitations of ADE or an ereader app based on Adobe RMSDK.
I use Acrobat (in actual version) too, but I normally don't go the way you took.
I export the content with Acrobat in docx, use that for cleaning up the content in Word and make then the conversion to an ebook. I use my own VB toolbox in Word, but you should check out Toxaris EPUB Tools plugin for Word. It have a really good set of tools for standard situations. He is a member of the forum.
If you use MS Word >=2013, you can try out opening a PDF in Word direct. The results are sometimes better as results from Acrobat.
There are several ways to go from a pdf to an ebook. I use a couple of tools depending on the content and quality of the source. From different OCR's to Acrobat, Word, caibre and tools like Scantailor.
An easy one is Mobipocket Reader. It have for normal books like novels often really good results and don't need deeper experiences. May be you like to test it. It's free.
