PDF come in two flavors: text based and image based.

The software on the Pocketbook can only reflow the text based version. To test if a PDF is text or image based, open it on your computer an try to select and copy a couple of words. If you can select single words, the PDF is most likely text based. If you can only select the whole page/ image, it is probably image based.

Software that converts PDF to a natively reflowable format normally works well to acceptable for text based PDFs. For image based PDFs they only convert the images to another format containing the same images. This new books are then not reflowable.

This probably does not help you, but it is important to know:

- Most PDF are not made for ebook readers
- Most ebook readers are not made for PDF

The combination of those two often make for a lot of disappointment.
