To be able to mark sentences I need a PDF file which has these OCR done before.

I would be great if that would be possible somehow with Calibre.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance

Chris
Is the epub content stored as text files or as a collection of page images? If it is text files, no need for OCR since the pdf will already be text. If it is page images, it would be easiest to extract the images and then create the pdf from those images with an OCRed text layer.
