It's only easy for me because I've been working with Acrobat Pro for nearly ten years, since Acrobat 4.0. (There are features from Acro 4 that I still miss.)
Acrobat is not a simple program, and modifying things involves knowing what *can* be modified, and then finding out where they've hidden that option in the dropdown menus. It's a mess. They keep trying to make the basic reader options more obvious and somewhat more powerful, and the Pro options get more arcane and complicated with every version. Also, they move them around; they change what dropdowns some options are associated with.

Why do you convert it to Word, then back to Adobe Pro?
|
Because that lets me set the appearance; the pages in the PDF are the same pages I see on the Reader. RTF files don't do that; they resize in unpredictable (to me) ways. (Also, the filesize tends to be much larger. And I believe RTFs don't show pictures, so I can't add a cover.) Converting to LRF involves more steps; I have to use software that I don't have handy on all of the computers I normally work on. I've got Calibre on my portable drive, but it's troublesome to run it.

The main thing I want to fix on my books is the irritating headers that keep appearing in the middle of my book on every page.
|
"Middle of the book?" Or do you just mean the page headers from the original PDF? I crop those out, when I can; they are annoying.

I am not sure what bookmarking does in the Adobe Pro. Can it make the TOC links?
|
The bookmarks in a PDF become the Contents listing in the Sony Reader. I believe you can also add links to the TOC page (if there is one) and use those, but links are a bit more hassle than bookmarks.

When I made a setup on the Adobe Pro. for the Sony (page size) it just made my print smaller on the Sony Reader. I tried following the instructions that Sony made and I just couldn't get it with larger print. Lost me completely. They confused me with too many different methods.

It is very complicated and can easily be confusing.
Can you describe what happens with the smaller print? I don't understand what you mean there.
