However, when I remove the page breaks in the rtf file, the resulting spacing does not match the remainder of the text formatting.

Again, thank you.
Using a PDF to make an eBook is like solving your headache by hammering a nail into your forehead. And with all due respect, sending a file to your Kindle isn't going to fix anything, either. The "document" conversion system isn't the same as the conversion software in Kindlegen; it's different and older.


I was asking, what are you editing the RTF in? Word? Something else? You're obviously editing it--but using WHAT?
