I am converting a long one... the owners manual to my Durango. Will check it out in a bit.

The conversion of the same thing using calibre turned out HORRIBLE.

Ooh, thanks.

I keep getting an error though while converting. And the end results seem to be Calibre-esque, though maybe the error happens when it tries to convert the mess of a file into something readable?

Yeah just played with it on 7 different PDFs, errors with every single one of them... always something about xhtml and div characters....

This is being uninstalled, it is useless.

There are some very negative reviews floating around on the internet about this software.

At first, it was ridiculously priced (at over $100), and with no free trial program available at all.

Now, they want to give it away.

If anyone has some good results to post, many of us would like to read about it.

I almost installed this program... did you read the EULA? Something smells. And this give-away started back before Oct...

Yes, I agree with you: Something smells and it's note overcooked ham, but it appears to rhyme with it.

Thanks for sharing this. It doesn't work under Wine in Mac OS X (installs and seems to run okay, but then fails at writing the files to disk after output; probably just as well, given the dubiousness that others have pointed out above).

I tried it yesterday on one of my magazine. The result was a mess. I guess there won't be any "good" pdf to epub converter anytime soon. I guess I'll be uninstalling it as well.

I tried it on a free Guy Smith PDF Ghostwriter Publications were giving away a few months ago. I haven't read it yet, but it seems ok from a quick scan. It's picked up most of the false paragraph endings at page breaks, I only saw one that it missed. I won't know if there are any jumbled up words/lines until I read it, but there isn't anything obvious.
