I suppose then that the original PDF was not in image, because if it were it would show the Greek characters, like the image from a photo would do.
If my interptretation is right, then I don't need any OCR stuff, but only a good Epub converter.
AS a matter of fact, I tried the free Trial Vibosoft E-pub converter. The fonts after the Epub conversion with this software are a lot better than those of the the previous converter ( AVS) and I would stick with it, if I didn't have to buy it, after a few conversions. I was wondering if there is an equivalent free software. I am researching the Internet, but if you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate.

Thank you

If you got something (1 for 1 chars) for the Greek, that is a Font (+encoding) issue that will not be simple to resolve
