I don't really understand what you're looking for, though. Does the PRS-500 even support PDFs? I thought it didn't.

PDFLRF works by convering the files to images, which is why the files are so big, but that's what makes it possible to darken the image. (It isn't changing the font.) If you want a different font but still a text-based file, you'd be better off, I think, trying to convert the PDF to a different format and playing with it from there. How well that works depends a lot on the specifics of the PDF.
500 does display PDF, but not well at all. I like soPDF because it keeps PDF format. But because of 500's poor support for PDF, the font still looks faint. PDFLRF works fine, but it taker much longer to convert, and much bigger because of images. also I could not get TOC to work, while soPDF keeps TOC.

I have tried converting PDF to other format. For books have relatively simple texts, it is OK. but most of my PDFs contain pictures, tables, indented codes, etc. I have not yet found any program can handle well. soPDF is the closest I can get. if I can change the font it would be almost perfect.
