Buy ABBYY Finereader and use that to convert the pdf to an epub which you can read on your Inkpad 3.

I've used it.
Won't work properly for average PDFs that are scans. OCR after 30 years since Kurtzwiel is still poor. Only a starting point to human proof & convert for TEXT ONLY. Doesn't address technical documents well. An average book or magazine is WEEKS of work.
10" or larger eink or 10" or larger tablet. 7.8" just isn't big enough, sadly. Not at even 300 dpi and reading glasses.
A 13" for ANY PDF and 6.8" to 7.8" for real ebooks is fine. I find the 6" readers slightly too small.
You can test by laser printing a few pages at different sizes using 300dpi / lowest laser quality. Even 10" can be marginal. Fortunately most old magazines & books out of copyright are not as large as letter/A4.
I use PDF import to Gimp @ 300dpi, export as animated PNG and use ImageMagik to strip margins & fix contrast. Your mad if you change imagemagik security to re-enable PDF reading. Export is safe.
