PDF to EPUB problem

Nightstalker · 05-17-2011, 05:29 PM

Ive started having problems converting PDF files to EPUB/MOBI on Calibre.A way I used was using Mobi Creator to convert the PDF to HTML and then use Calibre to convert that to EPUB.Now in Calibre Ebook viewer the book was perfect and I thought ive finally done it but when I sent it to my ebook its almost unreadable as words just join up together

I cant understand why its fine in Calibre but not on my ebook.
If I dont use Mobi Creator and just convert the PDF to EPUB using Calibre then I get all these weird symbols in the sentences so I dont know what to do to correct this.

Please help

Why Mobi? It claims EPUB ?? (No mention of Adobe or any DRM capability)

I suspect the reason no-one has given you an answer lies in the sticky thread in the conversion forum on PDF conversions. Basically, they are rarely worth bothering with unless you fancy lots of editing afterwards to make it look like the original.
