Andro,

If they're not locked (or if you have the keys and a full version of Adobe Acrobat Professional) export them to HTML or Word DOC and run the expanded results through BookDesigner or Mobipocket Creator. I've done about 100-150 such conversions.

My favorite way of doing so is to export to DOC, open in Word, take out any page headers/footers, save as HTML, import into BookDesigner, create a TOC, insert page breaks before chapter titles, insert a nice cover shot and create my mobi version from there.
