Sony Reader = shattered dreams and a 15% restocking fee?

None of my PDF files were remotely close to being readable on this thing. I turned to the ‘net for a solution. Someone reported that using Acrobat to convert the PDF to RTF would help. “I have Acrobat Professional, I’ll try that!” I nervously drummed my fingers, had lunch, and made a phone call while Acrobat launched. Yes, the resulting RTF file did produce readable text on the Sony Reader, but its mangled formatting and oddly-broken lines turned my stomach. Or maybe it was the tuna sandwich. Regardless, I couldn’t live with it.

Someone should have whispered pdflrf into this person's ear

I have managed to convert some pdfs (without pictures) by using select all, copy, cut and paste, then pasting it into BD. This doesn't always work but, when it does, most of the formatting is saved.

pdfthtml can sometimes do a decent conversion with formatting kept so all you do is a cleanup/format to fix it to how you want it. And yes, pdflrf would work as well if pdftohtml doesn't cut it.

I read the comments and the author seems very inflexible. Doesn't seem like he'd be willing to try something different to get it to work. However, I do have to blame Adobe for their crappy code. If pdflrf can generate readable PDF, thent here is no reason Adobe cannot come up with code that works well.
