Me, too.
I ended up converting my PDFs to RTF and going through line-by-line comparing with the print version or original PDF. This was before Calibre could use Word docs. I also learned a lot the time I had to totally repair two books which were in ePub but had horrible formatting/scanning issues. Enough that I know I really don't want to do it again
Also a higher percentage than I am happy with of the Harlequin Treasury titles I bought during the BIG sale are like that, too.
It frustrates me because these are books that should have been corrected at the publisher's end. A few typos/scanning errors are okay, but when there are two or more on every page...grrrr!
