PDFs are electronic print preview, not ebooks.
You don't need ANY Adobe tools for PDF, it's an ISO format and the non-Adobe tools are often better, i've never seen your image resize bug with 3rd party PDF creation!
Also NEVER edit PDFs. Edit in MS Word or LO Writer and EXPORT to PDF and it will be perfect.
PDFs don't have covers. If you want a "cover" then add it as the first page, but that will mess up POD and any professional printing as the covers are always separate files.
Real ebooks do have cover metadata and can have a cover file. Real Kindle & epub formats.
Use LO Writer, styles, suitable page size (edit in odt, docx is just for interchange) and export as PDF. Far better than InDesign (unless you are formatting magazines & newspapers), or Adobe PDF editor.
Save an extra docx for Calibre to make epubs (and then mobi, azw3, LRF, kfx and kepub from the epub, but not for PDFs though it does it).
This is nothing to do with Writing, but a topic for Workshop section. It's Production, not even formatting.
