Well there we shall agree to disagree
. Personally (and I have done it countless times) I find going through 400+ page novels and correcting paragraph structure from a PDF conversion a mind-numbingly dull task that takes far too many hours. All the while trying not to pay too close attention to the text so as to not "spoil" my later enjoyment when I do read the book.
There are other ways of working with Word documents which avoid such a chore that can be done in a fraction of the time. Which is why PDF conversions are best avoided in my opinion. That you guys are having success with it for government documents - well done and great for you. But I *still* don't see it as a recommended general approach.
Anyways I've done my dash on this, appreciate the debate and best of luck to you.
