Conversion of pdf files is not at all easy, and every pdf is different. In all cases, the resulting file has to be parsed and corrected manually.

My first step with text pdf files is always BRISS to remove headers and footers and then Mobipocket Creator Professional Edition (free software). Of the several output formats, I always use the html file. If the html is in good shape, I open it with Sigil. If a lot of corrections are needed, I sometimes use notepad++ to make a first cleanup and then I open with Sigil.

I've tried other solutions, including saving to html with Adobe Standard, but I always come back to Mobipocket Creator, which has always produced the best results for me.

Hope this helps.
