Hello everyone!

I am trying to convert PDF books into epub. Right now, the best way that I have seen in my case is to try to copy/paste in Sigil and then fix some formatting issues. I had lots of problems in InDesign, so that is why I have been following this.

The problem whenever I paste stuff in sigil from PDF or even from InDesign are two:

Bold and italics are lost.
Lots of new lines are added into the content. Example: http://share.epiclemon.com/smL4

I wanted to know what is the best option for both. Right now, I am copy/pasting and manually deleting newlines and also adding bold or italics whenever is required, but this is too manual.

Is there a better way in doing this?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
