Hi

I've been given a few books in .pdf and want to read them as an .epub using Adobe Digital Editions. Knowing that .pdf is a bad format to convert to .epub using Calibre, I converted them [using Acrobat XI] to .html. Then converted the .html to .epub in Calibre.

Used search & replace and edit to clean them up, ran check to fix any errors. They display correctly in the .epub viewer in Calibre. The .html displays correctly in IE.

But in ADE each one has at least one large bare section. There is no text missing. The opening tag for the paragraphs either side are the same. The closing tags on both paragraphs are also the same. If I combine the paragraphs, the bare section appears within a few paragraphs. This occurs at approximately page 60 in each of the books.

Have updated both Calibre and ADE to the latest versions in case that would help. Using Win7 64bit.

Any ideas?
