I think an HTML output is the most flexible format to deal with. It can later be very easily moulded into your own Reader format.

A little slow but faultless. Even the hypertext links were maintained. As far as the images are concerned:
- they were put apart in a separate folder
- they were also at their original place in the text but I had to resize them later to make them fit the 9x12cm format of my PRS-505.

Pretty good result.
Hi Roger,

I tried finereader too, as well as a number of the other recommended softwares on this thread. Most of them work well but one thing is driving me crazy and I'd appreciate if anyone could help me figure out how to fix this:

When I convert the PDF to a Word DOC file, most of the formatting is fine. however, all the softwares seem to insert a "paragraph + Sectionbreak" or "Paragraph end" mark at the end of the last letter/word on each page. Sometimes the PDFs will have an incomplete sentence that continues onto the next page. With these tools, things look fine, except these sentences get broken up mid-way into two paragraphs.

Is there any easy way to correct for this? Or is there any setting in either Finereader or any of the other tools here, that will automatically prevent paragraph breaks mid sentence if the sentence is being carried over to the next page? I'd appreciate any help...this is driving me nuts!
