Am I missing something here, or are you just converting PDFs to static images and then repackaging them as pdfs? You can do this already (acrobat, print -> advanced -> print as image (select your dpi, default is 300, kindle native will be 150 for dx, 166 for k3) then select for printer, adobe pdf) - may have to fix print size to get it native on the kindle, something around the 5x7 area, and it will give you a pdf of images of the document. This will, of course make a 4mb textbook of 500 pages, about 200mb (retarded). It also will not be searchable, unless you run acrobat's OCR function using EXACT ocr, which will introduce errors into search functions (not many, but some).
Using other programs (pdf2html) will not preserve images properly in complex documents, as it confuses metacontent, and has no way to export images. Instead it makes random assumptions and gives you pretty horrid results. Adobe acrobat's export to HTML does a better job, but it still garbles complex images and pdfs with lots of tables/columns.
And for all of you people worshiping mobipocket creator, please stop. Mobipocket creator is a horrible, horrible piece of software. It does not handle PDFs properly. It really barely even handles character encoding properly. All HTML conversion that is done from PDFs uses PDF2HTML and is chock full of errors. Try it out on some complex documents before posting here.
IF you have no official software and only freeware stuff, use this
Adobe acrobat reader (free), you can still print as image I believe (advanced, print as image)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ (printer for packaging PDFS)
now then, any thing you print -> PDF package, it will prompt you to install ghostscript, do it.
When you print with PDF creator, a box will pop up allowing you to configure it, you can manipulate the PDF settings, change compression, and other stuff, so go ahead if you want.
If you have all of the PNG images opened in another program (some image viewer program) and you have them modified, and they are all ordered, go print -> pdf creator, it will package them in a PDF.
