Why doesn the conversion look exactly like the PDF?
There are a number of differences between the PDF format and the format Amazon DTP uses to display text on-screen. If you own the source from which the PDF was generated (such as a Microsoft Word .doc), we strongly suggest that you use the program you originally used to create the document to export or save the content as HTML. If HTML saving isn’t possible, try to export or save the content in a format where you can open it with Microsoft Word, and save it as HTML from there. If you cannot get your content out of the PDF format, the following answers may help to explain the results you are getting. • Why doesn’t Amazon DTP retain the exact layout of my content in PDF format? Conversion usually cannot retain exact formatting because PDF is a fixed layout format designed for printing and Amazon DTP uses a reflowable format designed to be displayed on screens that differ greatly in size and width / height ratio. For an explanation on reflowable versus fixed layout, please read the articl
