No, truly, this program is absolutely awful. I tried converting three more PDF's to experiment. The first two failed to covert with Lua errors reported in PDFtoEPUB's log file. The last did convert, but had even worse formatting problems than the one I posted. Bullet lists weren't formatted correctly, and at times, the formatting randomly switched to centered mode instead of justified.

I think that the program can handle bitmapped images (e.g., photos or screenshots), but not vector images (e.g., engineering diagrams or graphs.) It simply removes the latter.

I suspect that many (most?) people who are interested in this kind of program would be using it for text books or papers, and so will be very unhappy with it.

Slightly refining what I said in my earlier post, it probably works ok for PDFs involving just simple text and photographs. But anything involving graphs, diagrams or mathematics it cannot handle.
