You got the same answer then that you got here.

You were told it was probably an image of a page of text, you came back and said it was text and you were asked if you were sure - would you 1) check the size (images are bigger) and 2) try to select individual text with the selection tool. You didn't respond.

I have a 382 page PDF when opened in Adobe shows up no problem. There is only one graphic in the document and that is the cover. When I import this document into Calibre and try to convert to mobi - the document converts with only 2 pages. It's as if the conversion process doesn't see the accompanying text associated with the file.

I am so frustrated and thought perhaps someone or someone(s) could help me with this. I have even tried some online conversion websites to see if perhaps I was doing something wrong in Calibre. When the websites produce the documents (I tried to convert the PDF into RTF, HTML, LIT and EPUB just on the off chance they would produce the entire doc) it still only shows 2 pages.

Has anyone else experienced this and can someone tell me what I might do to get the ENTIRE PDF file to convert?
So you are asked again, is it an image of text, or is it really text? How big is the file? Can you select the text with the selection tool, or does the whole page select? People are willing to help, and this is a common problem, but you have to help them solve it, not just post that you're frustrated.
