I have tried to convert the PDF to RTF using deskUNPDF, in order to reformat it, but the document is not opened completely in Pages (iWorks '09) and shows lots of garbage characters. I have even installed Microsoft Office 2008 trial for Mac and Word can open the .doc file, but still there are lots of formatting problems.

It seems that for "complex" PDFs the only option is to stick with the PRS-505 built-in PDF reading option. The PDFs are opened correctly, only the font is a little bit too small, even in landscape mode.

The ideal solution for reading PDFs would be probably to buy the expensive IREX digital reader (10.2 inch screen size), but I cannot afford it for the moment... And this is not so ideal, it is not so portable as the Sony PRSs.
