Hey folks,

I've been toying with Calibre for a few days now. I am trying to convert a publisher-provided PDF to an ePub and unfortunately, all of my attempts have been in vein. The ePub version has the following issues:

1) The TOC is almost always destroyed (i.e. fonts are too large, line breaks are random)
2) The contents of the book itself contain random breaks in words and formatting is almost always lost.

Has anyone else experienced this and how did you solve it? Is there an official or unofficial set of settings that work well for the iBooks app that will help alleviate these issues? Unfortunately, simply choosing "iPad" doesn't work in this case.

Thanks,

- MT
