HI
I am not very computer literate and have run into a problem that is frustrating the heck out of me. I downloaded the nitro pdf converter program and can take a pdf and delete pages. The problem comes when I try to convert that pdf to epub in calibre. Whats happening is that I edit the pdf (for example remove the table of contents)and save it (or export it with a different name) and then add it to calibre and convert it to epub when I do so the pages I deleted are there again. I can't figure out how to get rid of this. When I open an edited pdf I always get the message "this item points to a page that was removed from the item" . There must be a way to make deleted pages gone forever isn't there?
