When I view the converted file in the Calibre e-reader, shrinking the page and/or enlarging the font (to mimic what would appear on a smartphone) makes the lines overflow, rather than flow together - see attachment.
Is it possible to make the lines flow together?
Many thanks.
@stormproof - How did you create the pdf's - directly ?

Or via a word processor or text editor? If so, and you still have that output (eg .doc, .rtf, .txt) then you would probably be better off converting from those files than from the PDFs

PDF is the least preferred format to use as a starting point for creating an EPUB. Bit like heading east from NYC to get to LA - that's the wrlong way
