Hello! I have been trying to convert a mobipocket (.prc*) to Word or PDF but not been successful so far.

The file had DRM when I bought it (mobishop). I think I successfully stripped the DRM though (at least according to the information from the stripping program and from the eBook reader software.) The file is completely intact withoug the DRM - no damage.

But then when I try to convert the file to PDF, Word ot HTML I get only meaningless characters! I tried two separate programs and several different formats.

I thought at first it was a character set issue, but it doesn't seem like it - I checke absolutely everything.

First time I do this, so I could really use some advice - what could be wrong?
