I'm having trouble converting a PDF with dates that are strangely formatted. Everything else about the PDF converts just fine, including other numbers such as footnotes, but the dates don't seem to be encoded as normal numbers: When I try to copy them into this post, they render like this: "In the mid-s", and in the converted EPUB they simply don't appear at all. I've attached a sample page of the PDF, and an EPUB I made with default settings, demonstrating the problem. I tried MOBI with the same results. Is there any way I can get these odd numbers to convert properly?

edit: oh well, realized too late this was not a useful sort of question and I can't delete my post. i handled it by just converting to a .doc file and doing find and replace on the odd characters for 0-9. sorry for the clutter.
