Hi,

I am trying to tell Calibre to read the text in a MOBI/AZW3 file for my Kindle paperwhite, but it is reading each page of the PDF that I am converting as ".pngs". I first used OCR on a PDF that I could not select the text for. After being able to select the text, I converted the PDF to a MOBI file. It works in my Kindle but the text is very small because it's reading the images instead of the text.

How should I go about this? Please let me know if I need to clarify things further. Thanks for the assistance.
