Hi - thanks for a detailed and helpful overview.
I had an awful time converting PDFs to EPUB, and I found the following software to help. I am having some trouble with customizing 'rule sets' (see below) so if you try this method, I'd appreciate some feedback!
METHOD 1: Xilisoft PDF to EPUB converter
-this works well if you have a heavily image based book. it tends to take a snapshot of each page and it converts the PDF to a graphic-based EPUB.
Great for cookbooks, design manuals, and other heavily graphic based media.
METHOD 2: (my top recommendation) DNAML PDF to EPUB (or MOBI).
This is a great piece of software.
You can crop out headers and page numbers.
It applies OCR very effectively and uses rule sets for the fonts so it tends to convert VERY well - bold, italic etc are usually converted without any problems.
HOWEVER, I have trouble with the rule sets for fonts etc. If anyone is able to provide me with some further info /brief tutorial, I'd be extremely grateful!!
