Hi,

I've been trying to convert an ebook in epub format to PDF so I can print some parts of it.

I've tried to use the Adobe ebook software but although it allows me to print it crashes or starts printing empty pages or only prints the first page.

This file is not print protected. I can open it properly in Calibre.
But when I convert it takes ages and the resulting PDF has on each page a whole bunch of dollar signs. These look like links and when clicked nothing happens.
There's e.g. 20 lines with 15 dollar signs on each of those lines.
This seems to repeat on all pages.

Any idea where this is coming from? Or how I can get rid of these? The content still seems to be a bit borked but I hope that will be resolved when those dollar signs are removed.

If there are other methods please let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance (this has been quite frustrating)!
