This is a pretty dumb question I guess, but I don't care, I'm asking anyway.

Has anyone figured out a good way to make an epub importable to InDesign CS3 so that a decent PDF can be made from it?

Thus far, I've been sticking to books that have minimal extra formatting, so I can more or less just pull the text from the HTML files and do fresh formatting, without mucking about in CSS, and giving me some freedom to do manual kerning and font niceties before exporting to PDF. However, with books with lots of footnotes/endnotes or more complex styling with many chapters, it becomes more of a hassle than it's worth, since a lot of work ends up being done manually. When there's a set of footnotes on almost every page, it's not very convenient to individually copy/paste/adjust.

I doubt there's a shortcut that allows significant control. I haven't tried the Prince XML conversion method, but I'm not sure how useful it'd be to me, and I'd really prefer to abandon linked endnotes and use proper footnotes instead.

As I admitted earlier, this is a bit of a stupid question. If anyone out there's got an idea though how I could pull more efficiently from an ePub for proper PDF creation, I'd love to know.
