Is there any way that the Calibre editor can get back to the original layout by removing the extra linebreaks, without also removing the ones between the original paragraphs?

Q1: Can this be done during the conversion from TXT o PDF to epub?
If yes, please explain how, or refer to an article where explained.
It's not easy. You can often get 90% of the way there by using heuristics (when you convert from PDF/text, click on "Heuristic Processing" on the left, and the check the "enable heuristic processing" box and play with the options there). But you're going to have to proofread it fully to get things 100% right in general.
