What I mean by the rest is that the text layer which is put into some epubs is there only so they can be searchable and is done in a slapdash manner, since anything will do to make the file searchable. So it may be full of mistakes, missing sections, sections out of order. This is why generally if you have any choice, anything is better than a pdf as a source. But often you have no choice.

As has been pointed out before, you will have to proofread line by line to make sure that this has not happened. I have found this in the book I have working on now where an entire paragraph was jumbled...it was all there, but required 5-10 text moves to put it in order.
