There is also this piece of freeware which optimises PDF for Kindle and other types of readers like tablets and
 smartphones etc.

This doesn't seem to do anything just keeps saying Detecting Document Orientation in the black box it's been "converting" for over 20 minutes. What am i doing wrong.
The files i want to convert are Micro Office Word Documents.

Try pressing enter again. The default settings are set for kindle if thats the size you want.
I havent played with it myself yet, but on a quick test with default settings, i had to press enter twice.
It was a pdf i was converting though.Not sure about office, i never use it.

Not sure if it will convert word docs to pdf if thats what you were trying to do.
Its more for changing PDF to look right on mobile readers.
e.g. when the recipe is split over 2 pages or if the title is at the bottom of one page and the rest on the next.

This is the best free PDF converter:

-> We use it commercially at work (need to pay then). I can seriously recommend it.

If you have Office 2010 you can export to PDF straight from within Office without any extra software. My documents were made with Microsoft OneNote in case anyone was wondering.
