Hi, I'm trying to convert both AZW and epub files with no DRM to PDF in Calibre and the output pdf text is in vector format and therefore cannot be searched or copied. I have tried to run OCR on it in Bluebeam but of course it's vector text so it will not work.

I know that Calibre is supposed to pretty much match the previous format if you only press the convert button. I have tried many other things in the convert categories but to not prevail. Please help.
