This problem has probably been addressed elsewhere, I suspect it has an easy solution, however I have very little experience with coding and at this point im stuck.

I used calibre to convert a PDF file to EPUB. The resulting file had paragraph breaks (<P>) where each line of text ended on the PDF. This means a lot of blank lines through the ebook I was trying to read.

I found I was able to delete the lines manually with Sigil, however it would be a very time consuming process to go through the entire text. As the superfluous paragraph breaks are indistinguishable from the genuine ones, a simple find and replace in the code is not an option either. Is there an easy solution to this problem?
