preparing pdf for PRS?

trinode · 08-31-2011, 06:52 AM

Hi,

I've just recently bought a Sony PRS-650 which I was initially impressed with but am getting increasingly frustrated with.
The PDF rendering is great, but certain files make the device struggle (20-30 seconds / page turn).

I've narrowed it down to the table of contents on certain files, basically it's the ones where they've helpfully made each entry on the TOC a link.

The more links on the page the longer it takes, is there anything I can do on the device to negate this effect?

As the PDFs I look at are technical and the display of them is fine, I'd rather not change format, is there maybe something I can do to remove all the links from a document using my PC?

I've got calibre and briss, can they do it, or maybe something else?

Thanks,

- Anthony

I would experiment with a simple pdf->pdf conversion with calibre (don't change any options at first)

Some epubs that are weird have been fixed this way (epub->epub) can't hurt to try.
