Converting PDF to LIT for Microsoft Reader

Step 0: Some PDF ebooks have header and page number. Remove these by cropping the pages and print to a new file
Step 1: Convert PDF to RTF using 'Some PDF to Word Converter 1.5', with default setting. Converted text will be in text box form. Sometimes the converted files need manual formatting; ie replace four spaces with Line Break.
Step 2: Save the RTF as TXT file using Ms Word.
Step 3: Adjust text font and size of the TXT in Notepad if needed.
Step 4: Convert TXT to LIT using Overdrive ReaderWorks. Change the Title Properties accordingly.
Done


UPDATE 27/10/09:
1. PDF files can be directly converted to text using Some PDF to Txt Converter
2. Download Overdrive Readerworks Standard for free here
