First, thank you for calibre, it's great software, still supporting my old Palm m500!!
I have a problem with some PDB-files, which are 'Tagged PDFs', created with Adobe Reader for Palm OS. Those I cannot convert to any other format.
I get the below error for each 'PDF-PDB':
Code:
ERROR: Konvertierungsfehler [Conversion failure]: <b>Misslungen[Failed]</b>: Konvertiere Buch 11 von 41 [Converting book x of y] (PR SB 42 - Das Zeitko_1_pdf_0l)

On my Desktop-PC I do not have Adobe Reader installed, because of frequent security issues, but instead I have FoxIt PDF-Reader, but the system standard PDF-Reader should be used nevertheless, so the internal PDF-file should display correctly, at least in the Calibre-internal eBook-Viewer.
Having a rather large library of those 'PDF-PDBs', so being unable to import/convert them is quite problematic.
I want to get away from the PDF-format to a common, open ebook-format and reader, but this currently stops for me the proceding.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
