This may mean that the PDF was built from a scan of a printed book and that there is a text layer that was produced using an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) function in the app that generated the PDF. If that OCR failed to recognize the ligatures properly the text layer won't be correct. If this is the case, the only "fix" is to manually edit the converted ePub, typing in the correct text everywhere that such errors exist.
