thank you
I've used Calibre to convert pdf to epub but it's not very pretty. Extraneous line breaks all over the place for starters. I've use Acrobat Pro to convert PDF to HTML which gives me a lot cleaner starting point when importing the HTML into Sigil to generate the final epub. I've also used an online PDF to HTML converter (PDF2HTML??) when I'm at home and do not have access to Acrobat Pro. Either way, the results are better than Calibre's conversion but not perfect. Though I have to say "adequate and readable" is a good description.

Regards,
David
