Thank you for testing it. I really thought the pdf was already OCRed with omnipage or another programm, to allow the copy of text "behind" the image.

... So, for you, there is, at the moment, no specific parameter for Calibre to convert a bunch of pdf files of this kind (with the heuristics arguments to avoid doing by hand all the tidying up)?

Thanks again for any hint.
