I just <ctrl-a> copied all of the PDF, and <ctrl-c> pasted it into a .txt file

All of the text copied over in the correct order, then I just used regex in notepad++ to clean up line breaks like I would have to anyway, and then made a epub with calibre; then just manually inserted the graphics where they belonged.

A bit tedious, but got it done.

Although that makes me wonder... if simple <crtl-a> is able to copy all of the text in the correct order, why is Calibre not able to process it in that way?

That part doesn't make sense since simple 'copy all' is probably one of the most rudimentary text tools and it seems to be able to handle the columns.
