First convert from the PDF into HTML and make sure you've fixed all of the errors in the HTML due to converting from PDF. I've never yet seen a PDF converter that does it 100% error free. So it could be the ePub is reflecting the errors in the conversion process from PDF.

PDF is the worst source format that you can use. Don't expect any good result with automatic conversions from PDF to ePub: you'll always have to fix a lot of things manually.

If anybody is using any other tool for the same conversion The only other ebook-centric converter I am aware of (which does not convert to images) is Windows MobiPocket Reader or Creator, which will convert from PDF to MOBI. Calibre can then convert the MOBI to ePub. This may be no better than Calibre's native converter, but it might be worth trying. Note that the source code for the underlying pdf2xml is available, see Mobipocket convert in mass? (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=260477&postcount=14).

I have tried both the conversions pdf>html>epub and also pdf>mobi>epub.
But both have some problems and html files have to be manually modified to get the required epub.
Where can I find the source code for pdf2xml ?
