No, these are ones I'd bought from Bundles of Holding.

I already converted jpx to Kindle-readable formats and removed passwords, etc. It may be an issue with technically-readable but oversized images. Unfortunately trying to compress or remove images occasionally leads to mis-scaled pages, with only the lower left corner showing, missing pages, etc.

I use the following /bin/bash shell script in Mac automator, passing input as arguments:

for f in "$@"
do
suffix="-converted.pdf"
base=`basename "$f" .pdf`
outputfile=$base$suffix
/usr/local/bin/gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -sstdout=%sstderr -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile="$outputfile" "$f"
done

I know the syntax is different in the regular terminal.
