Hi

Concerning your main question: problem with PDF conversion.

If you can not manage to read you PDF’s in your reader using the 2 ways it has to help in that - enlarge the font size and it will reflow the text, or rotate the screen and read that way preserving all the PDF formatting, then there is no simple solution.
For this last one you can also use “soPDF” as fabjous so well advices, and get better, sometimes enough reading from a large size PDF file.

Now the hard solution:
With PDF’s that do not complain to your screen, the unique solution is to see them as paper pages… meaning that the unique way that can give you better results is, if they are not DRM protected, pass them by a OCR program.
For this, today’s best ones are Omnipage pro 17 or Finerader Pro 10 (this one is very well seen by most of the users of this forum, in this or older versions).
After that you will get a digital document and you will need to proof read it, and then save it in a format easy to create a reflowing format your reader can easily present.

Best regards,
