BetterRed, a book I really wanted to read was only available in a wretched image scan PDF. I tried to convert that directly in Calibre but no workie. My workaround was to manually delete the covers in Acrobat, then run it through k2pdfopt.exe with OCR turned on, then open that file in word, save it, and convert that in Calibre. Not sure how to format the Word file using the styles feature, but I'm new at this.... :-)
If you have a recent edition of MS Word try opening the PDF in it… it's OCRing is sometimes surprisingly good.

This addin for Word ==>> MR: Toxaris' eBook Tools has features to help cleanup OCR artefacts.
