There may be a thread on this already but I couldn't find one, so here it is. I have downloaded a book that is only available in PDF, so far as I could find anyway. So I went and converted it to epub through calibre. The formatting is entirely messed up, for example all of the words with two l's in it have lost one of them (call is now cal), and all of the dialog between characters has just become one paragraph. So basically my question is there a way to preserve the formatting through conversion without having to go through the file manually and fix it?
