Before I dive into Caliber… is there a quick, no-brainer way to get a readable ePUB file?

Thank you.
Shohreh:

Please read the thread. The answer is: no. Now, some person will no doubt come along, and say how great using "save as Word" is, from Acrobat Pro, or using this or that, but my business does this very thing, ALL. DAY. LONG. We have NEVER found any shortcut that makes creating an eBook from a PDF easy or simple or short.

We do everything by HAND. We typically scan/ocr PDFs; then we do a double-proofing round. This is then saved to a Word file format, .doc or .docx. We then clean up the Word file, export that to HTML, clean up THAT, and then, and only then, do we use the HTML to build and ePUB.

That's how it's done.

Do you understand why the file looks that way?
