I'm a bit confused again. Are you saying that you are starting the conversion process from a pdf file? Does that mean you used Adobe Acrobat to write your book?

I'm not trying to be a pain here. I'm just trying to understand the process. Everything I've come across points toward starting with the source files in the original word processing format. If you used MS Word to write your novel, it seems it would make sense to start from the .doc file. If you didn't use MS Word, then it still might be easier to convert the original source file to a word doc and go from there. Starting the process with a pdf file, to me anyway, seems like a recipe for a disaster in every other ebook format.
