I've been having difficulties when it comes to converting my many pdf files. In general, the majority of my pdf's are formatted well and are very much the most readable they can be.

But after using Calibre to convert them to epub I lose much of the formatting. Gaps appear where there should be none, huge breaks in text etc.

I've read through FAQ's and such and can't seem to figure it out. I know pdf's are the least desirable format to convert from, but aside from the odd image for chapter breaks, there really shouldn't be a reason I lose the paragraph, sentence or whatever structure. Is there something I can do to remedy this?
