PUDF to mobi conversion

Hi
I am new to this domain but I've read a lot of articles.
Somehow I can't make mobi files readable from pdf IT books.
I have a lot of development books with a lot of code samples, tables and images, but when I convert them it not a good readable format (especially tables and code).
I've managed to strip headers and footer using regular expressions but with tables it's impossible to do something.
Is it something I'm missing here ?
Any advice ?
Thank you !

It sounds like you know some programming. What about scripting into one of free tools like imacros to parse the data into a new file and save it?

I still need some demos, samples or documentation to do that.
It isn't a software to do this conversion good from the first time ?
Maybe calibre ?
Thank you

No, there isn't anything.

I suggest that you give this Sticky from the calibre/conversion sub-forum a read
