Conversion help

I managed to get some epub files from a friend and I would like to convert them to PDF since I can't take my laptop everywhere to read through the ebook reader on my laptop. I've tried printing them to the acrobat distiller printer and saving them as PDF, but that failed.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I've tried ABC converter and it doesn't render the text correctly.

Thanks in advance.


Calibre did it. I was able to convert it and now I'm converting all my LIT files. Horrors.

Just for the record, the Linux version of Calibre didn't work, but the Windows version did. (I have a dual-boot system)

Now to get all my PDFs into TXT format so I can read them on my DS. FUN!!!

If any of the PDFs give you fits when converting to TXT, talk to me; I'm good with extracting contents from PDFs. (Sometimes the formatting gets scrambled. Like, whole paragraphs get jumbled, or tables do weird and useless things. I have tricks for these problems.)
