I have no idea how to convert it to JPG images...... And I have no clue what Ctrl+F does either...... I hate admitting that but I am almost a complete newbie. Maybe you can explain that process to me. I have been working with Sigil lately and that seems to be the best way to do it, but I came across a book that when I get it into epub format it is missing entire paragraphs....
I am going to explain to you how I convert the novel into ebook format so maybe you can tell me what to do to fix this.
I found a link for a program called PDFtoEpub on here, and the person who posted the link said it was free for so long so I downloaded it to try it and viola! So I put the book in the program, it loads it up and goes it a page where it lets you trim the pages down so you can cut the header and footer off.
Then it loads a page with the extracted letters and next to the letters it shows the letter it will use in the output format, and it lets you correct them if it didn't put the right letter there of the right letter case.
Once that's done it loads up to a page where it converts it.
5 minutes or so later you are done with your epub to edit in sigil.

I got through this process and it has worked for the past 5 or so books I have put in it, but with this latest book it has cut off a paragraph every so often, and it isn't due to the trim setting I put in for the header and footer. I just can't figure out why its cutting paragraphs out.....
