Hi François

Yesterday I installed the Nitro PDF PRO program for one of my projects.

I still had your PDF lying around, so I had Nitro PDF convert it to a Word .doc file, which I saved as Filtered HTML and then I converted it to Epub with Calibre

The results are in the attached zip - its arguably the best yet

You would still need to do some tidying up in Word or OOo Writer before converting, or you could use Sigil to do that on the ePUB

The conversion to Word was done in two phases; an image processing phase, this took 10-15 minutes and a document creation phase that took 2-3 minutes. That was slower than Omnipage, but IMO the result is considerably better.
