Hi, jyavenard.

When answering to your questions, I've thought on rebooting Kindle ... The converted 'rabiner.pdf' (there's link below) have appeared.

Either I haven't noticed the conversion process after reboot or the conversion was very fast. As soon as the 'home list' appeared there there was the entry for the converted (into images) 'rabiner.pdf'.

Q1. What happened when you try to open the PDF file on its own? does it work?

I've transfered some .pdf to my Kindle and they have not been converted: even the convertion process have not started.

Q2. Can you post a PDF that fails somewhere?

Sure.

Q3. You should see a text file on the Kindle when it fails...

This file have not appeared in the 'home list'. I've even search for it via file system but haven't found it either.

This fact lead me to try a reboot. After that the converted file has appeared in the 'home list'.

Below it the list of files in my Kindle *before restart*:
