I have a number of PDF and other files that have hard linefeeds at the end of each line. When I convert these for my eBookwise reader (through intermediate steps of HTML or RTF), I end up with extra line breaks in the middle of every other line, approximately, which is very annoying.

I guess the best I can do is to get or create a utility to remove linefeeds from the end of any line longer than, say, 70 characters, replacing them with a space. This would occasionally remove lf that I don't want removed, but I think overall the files would be more readable than they are now.

Does anyone know of an available utility to do this? I could write it in Perl, but if there's one out there already, I'd just as soon use it. (And it's not quite as simple as just counting the characters, anyway, because formatting characters shouldn't be included in the total.)

Thanks,
