glowlight won't open PDF

What I did was saved a bunch of JPG files on my pc, and used a website to merge them into a single PDF.

I can read the created file just fine on my computer and android tablet.

But when I opened the file on the new nook, (just got it yesterday) it shows "convert JPG to PDF online" as the title, and every single page I looked at is blank.

It probably wouldn't look good enough to read on an e-reader (I think tablets perform better with PDFs). But I still wonder if there is anything I can do as I may decide to save other books in this way.

This is the only PDF I tried that doesn't work.

Also, is there a way to add some zoom to the PDF books?

Thank you!

On the Simple Touch there is no way to resize or zoom in on the PDF pages. The only way I've been able to use PDFs on the Nook Simple Touch has been to reformat the PDF document to make the pages smaller. Obviously that is not practical for most PDF documents; so the Simple Touch is not very useful for PDF. I suspect the Glowlight will be the same.
