Your recent posts seem to me to be implying that the AI will generate text from its general knowledge for the conversion; please correct me if I've misunderstood. I've used Claude to convert several PDFs to EPUBs, and this is not what is happening.
I feed Claude the PDF and give it a simple prompt (most times "
Convert the attached PDF to a well formatted EPUB with a working TOC."). I see the commands ran as Claude is working (not that I sit there and watch the whole thing

). I get progress reports (if it hits a tool-use limit) and, when completed, I get a final report on how it worked through the conversion. I can also look through all the commands ran during the conversion.
Claude
is working off the actual PDF I fed it. I attached a few images from a recent conversion; some PDFs are more gunky and stubborn than others, and this was one of them (it hit the tool-use limit twice).
