I've been sending mine to convert @robobraille.org. There are a couple of 
on-line conversion sites that do a decent job, but I can't for the life of me 
track down the last one I used. When I find it later I'll post it.

I also have Prizmo on my iPhone, whic seems to do a decent job.

I also noticed in searching the web just now that Adobe offers conversion 
through adobe.com and acrobat.com. These look to be paid services, has anyone 
tried them out?
