error converting pdf to mobi

[Deihmos]

I am new and having trouble converting a pdf to mobi. Also tried epub and it also failed. It always ends with an error. Any help will be appreciated.

I can't help you with this precise error but please read the manual here and this sticky post, Read this before Posting PDF Questions, found at the top of this sub-forum.

Good Luck.

It looks like in this case there is probably a bug where some type of junk in the document is being interpreted as a URL. You'll probably need to post the pdf file to the bug tracker.

Alternatively you can try to use search and replace to find and remove whatever string is causing that failure - I'm pretty sure it's failing after search and replace would be done, I don't think it's forced into xhtml until after preprocessing.

Here is the file in case anyone can help me out.
