IMO, abbyy is terrific as an OCR tool for converting texts within images. But as a pdf (non image)-to-html or -text converter, I didn't have any good result with it at all. It will convert headers and footers of the PDF as part of the text, and it's a chore to crop the headers and footers within the abbyy program, because you have to do it manually, one page at a time.

I would rank the best 3 converters in terms of output to be used in an ebook reader, or to be used for conversion through Calibre, in this order:
1) Acrobat
2) Nuance
3) Nitro

I liked Nuance converter so much I purchased it. The price point is much more palatable than the Adobe's product.
