I have tried and succesfully converted PDF files for Kindle format .prc. I have one question tho. Files are usually bigger then its original format (almost 10 times). Is that normal? and if so what can I do to make it smaller. Any settings that I have overlooked perhaps?
Thanks

The Kindle 2 supports PDF, is the PDF too complex for the Kindle?
No there is not setting you can chose to make the file size smaller. What this app does is turn the PDF text into an image, then optimizes the image for a 6" screen. Ths entails cropping of the margins, and dialating the fonts.
But because the final product takes text to an image the file size is increased. You also lose all text base benefits, like search and dictionary lookup.
I'd recommend you try soPDF first, then, if the PDF is still unreadable, try this tool as a second effort.
soPDF(link) (found here in mobiread). This tool crops the margins off the PDF while keeping the final product as a text base PDF. Most PDF after running soPDF are usually smaller in footprint size.
