1. I have some pdfs which I would really like to read on my Sony PRS-505. These are some books from Apress which contain images and are complex formatted. Zooming on my Sony does not work since the pages contain images, so reflow does not work. I am using a Mac and I am thinking to use the built-in pdf support (Print -> Save as PDF). Is this a viable option? Can I define a custom defined printer in order to format the document more suitable to be read on the device? If so, how?

2. Also, is there any way to edit the metadata in Sony Ebook Library on Mac? Is ther any text file that needs to be edited? Or do I need to edit the pdf for this? If so, does it worth buying PDFpen (the most affordable pdf editor for Mac which I have found, as Adobe Acrobat is pretty expensive for what I want to achieve)?

Thanks,
Codrut
