Hi All
My first post here. Your "introduce yourself" thread is closed for some reason?
I'm trying to convert some books in PDF to EPUB or MOBI. My conversions are working OK, except for a "Bold" font attribute that appears to originate in the PDF document, which my Adobe reader reports as "LiberationSerif-Bold. Obviously the reader won't let me change this, and I don't work with PDF enough to justify purchasing the full application. Might not let me change it anyway.
Whatever, the Bold attribute looks bad in the Calibre reader, and is tiring to read.
I've gone thru the "conversion" and "edit" settings, and tried things that looked like they might work, but the Bold remains.
I've reached the end of my very limited knowledge on the subject, I've looked thru the Manual, the FAQ, and searched the forum w/o finding anything very useful, so I thought to try asking the Gurus
Any thoughts greatly appreciated. TIA! Steve (and George, the Mule)
