I am looking for an efficient way to resize and convert large PDF files (I have about 20 computer books which came with their content in PDF on CD typically 10-20MB).

My way at the moment is to use Chief-Win PDF Converter PE for the actual conversion (the only free one I could find that does the whole thing) then Microsoft Word to resize it to 28 and Open Office on a Linux box to save it as PDF.

I find if I try and use a simple Word or RTF conversion I just get 'Invalid page' when I try and open them in the reader.

Is Autoimager and PDFRasterfarian a better option? and how does Bookdesigner fit in?

Cheers
