Personally, I've given up on converting PDF to epub. "It's like a box a choclits. You nevah know whatcher gonna git." Forest Gump

It's a total crapshoot if your epub conversion is going to actually have content on the pages or be completely blank.

I did one (pdf > delete all 30+ blank pages and duplicate covers/title pages/split image pages > text > spent hours fixing all the problems (mainly spaces between letters that don't belong) > add to calibre > add book cover and all the metadata > convert.

Once was enough. I have an iPad and iPhone so I just let all the PDFs (all 2 of them, so far) go to their separate shelf. Haven't gotten up the energy to add any of my PDF cookbooks. One thing's for sure; I'm not going to bother trying to convert any of them. Even asking St. Jude to help (patron saint of hopeless cases) didn't work. LOL
