I have tried many other methods- re-distilling pdf's with Distiller and Docucom, using Ghostscript, etc. I am in no mood to mess with changing font sizes etc. in a word processor.
The pdf's I used for commercial, non-encrypted. Have no idea why rtf's created from other software don't work well. I used to use Gemini to export to html for the Rocketbook, and it always seemed to work wel....

I wish the expensive Acrobat would do a better job. However, when it converts PDF to RTF or HTML, it doesn't keep all formatting tags even RTF and HTML support them. It doesn't even keep
Italic style. That's a major drawback.
I am going PDF->HTML->BD->LRF route, and have not found a satisfatory way to do the first step. pdftohtml kinda works, but it treats each line as a paragraph and also there is no option to remove header/footer (including page number).
Maybe somebody will write a special version of pdftohtml for the Book Designer.
