I didn't see in Acrobat Pro the option to save as text. I will go back and check for that. I was hoping to pull out a few of the graphics in the PDF but given the issues I don't see how I can do that.
I should mention that I investigated the PDF again and there is no graphic text. There is a font in the PDF Acrobat Pro says. The only graphics I think are like the publisher logo and one or two illustration/pictures. The pages look like there is a background image to make it look like old paper/parchment.
I have like 6 PDFs like this and they all behave the same. It's just annoying because Calibre has handled everything else so well. It would be nice to be able to pull out the graphics but I don't recall Calibre doing that before on PDFs. I also mentioned all this in case it could be used to find the problem with Calibre or help it get better.
