Hello all:

First post here. I recently sent one of favorite books to 1DollarScan and got the PDF with OCR back from them. I have run that through ABBY and it looks fantastic! Cleaned up a bunch of issues in ABBY and have saved that to HTML. From there I have run that HTML file through Calibre and while the results are good I am getting short lines of text as one of other users mentions. I would love to get the book as close as possible to the original.

That being said, in ABBY, once I run the PDF through that should I then save it to Open Office, clean up the issues in formatting and then save that as a HTML file and then into Calibre?

Thanks a lot for any assistance on this, I am a total noob at this but spent the entire weekend experimenting with this.
