Hi There,

Converting PDFs, even to ePub, it's a "hit or miss" conversion. It depends more of the document layout than the tool itself.

Using Calibre, these are the best format to convert, in that order: LIT, MOBI, EPUB, HTML, PRC, RTF, PDB, TXT, PDF.

As you can see, PDF is the last one, because the vector images and its own technical specs.
