hm, just to be clear, the reader can't handle justified text, which is what you get if you *don't* tick the box. ade can display that on your pc, but on the reader it will display left aligned (like the text of this post). however i expect justification will be coming soon (speculation, but since adobe added it in the latest ade it seems likely).

I was hoping there would be an optimal default set of options that would produce perfectly formatted epubs for all pdfs, but unfortunately it looks as if this is not available.
where's the fun in that ?

(although i do tend to use the same settings for all my books ; so once you define them to your liking, you don't necessarily have to do it again).

Eg I notice that some of my epubs (converted from pdf) have (pointlessly and annoyingly) inserted the title of the book every few pages of text!
that is a problem of conversion from pdf ; those are actually the page headers, which sometimes get translated as part of the text. i agree, incredibly annoying. if they are all the same though, they are easy to get rid of with a simple search (for header text) and replace (with nothing). page numbers are usually trickier, but you can automate those too particularly if there is a footer text (that makes it easier to find them).

I will check out the forum you recommended, anyway. Thanks again.
no worries ; glad to help.
