Conversion Issues in Nook
Hi, everybody!
First of all, I wish to thanks for this amazing software!! It has a stupendous quality, full of features and highly customizable! I've been reading ebooks since 2005 and never saw something so good! 
Recently, I bought a nook for me and start trying to convert some old pdfs I have. I tried nook built-in pdf adapter, but it is not working very well.
So, I am using Calibre to convert them to EPUB. Unfortunately, with some books, some letters were exchanged for others, much like OCR sometimes does. For example, the word find once become fmd (that is, IN became a M). In others, words are separated or joined.
Although this is a very minor issue, sometimes is a problematic one for me, because, as you may have guessed by my poor English skills, I am not a native speaker and sometimes I cannot guess the original word. Worse yet, I like to read sci-fi and fantasy, two genres in which strange words are a certainty! I have already saw several new ways to write the word illithid 
Besides this question, sometimes the converted document has spaces and paragraphs added or subracted.
All this preambule is to kindly ask you if is there any thing I can do to help improve the quality of the pdfs I input to Caliber.
Until now, I am using a case-by-case approach, sometimes first converting the PDF to a simple txt file or a html one, but, besides been a lengthy process, it isn't a universal one.
Has someone any advices for me? Guides, advices and the like are welcome! I read the Nook documentation, FAQ included, but I could not help me through them. If I am missing something in the official documentation, please point it to me 
Kind regards,
Rodrigo
