1) Open the PDF, and export as text. The free Reader will do this.
2) Open the TXT file in Word

4) Change ALL the Margins (top, bottom, left, right) to .1 or .2 (your pref)
5) Now, go through and edit it how you wish. Change the title page, add images, add a ToC, perhaps have the first page be the Book Cover. Adjust the font size to reflect what you'd like to see on your 5" or 6" device. Add Page Breaks to make each chapter start on a new page. Whatever you want.
6) Save as PDF. Plug-in Link Here
And you have a custom formatted PDF specifically designed for your 5" or 6" device. |
While text output from the free reader does work it loses all formatting and in some cases I get one word per line. Not fun to convert. There are tools that will convert PDF directly to Word.
When you print to PDF you can specify the page size of the resultant page. This typically works better than change the font to some huge size. In your printer setup you can set the page size to something like 90 x 120 mm for output to the device.
