Problems converting PDFs with columns

justinside · 01-03-2011, 11:25 AM

Hi

i really like Calibre - but when I try and convert PDFs to use on my kindle - if there is more than one column of text on a page i can't get them to display properly - and those pages are incomprehensible.

If I email direct to Amazon then the conversion does work - though it's still rubbish for tables of figures..

Does anyone know the right way to do this in Calibre? I have 50 work based PDFs i need to get onto the device today!

Many thanks

Justin

There is no support for converting multi-column PDF files as of now. There is a new PDF conversion engine in the works, but it isn't finished yet.
