I tend to leave options that control conversion etc at factory settings, I never apply 'book' specific options. If I can't get a
presentable EPUB from a PDF using Word and calibre I leave it be. If they're fixed-layout PDFs I don't even bother trying. Most of the PDF's I do convert are produced by technical writers/documentation professionals using Word or LO Writer.
I used to use the long defunct MobiPocket Creator tool, but it won't install on Windows 10, and I'm not minded to unravel the msi. But it was never as good as PDF->Word (docx)->calibre (epub) is today.
If you're dealing with OCR scans and you have a recent edition of MS Word I suggest you have a look at the Epub Tools add-on for Word ==>>
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=213372. It has a range of features that help deal with the vagaries of OCR scans - including a more than decent dialogue checker. And it can produce a well formed EPUB, including mapping of Word Styles to HTML CSS.
