Unhunh. Okay....honestly, try copy-paste. I know, that sounds whacky, but if you copy-paste it to a text editor, you lose the spans.

The alternative, as you said, is to TRY to get it to a print layout and scan it from there. Calibre isn't really meant to tackle fixed-layout, so...not sure that there's a path there.

My best guesstimate is that Tex may have some thoughts. INDD-generated FXL is a tough cookie.
