thanks for response - maybe I was not totally clear about the pdftohtml bit.

I am at the stage of setting conversion fields for pdf to epub

1.
I take a large pdf ask and the wizard to help me create S&R 1- to do that it runs pdftohtml and takes a few seconds.

I am happy with that, so I ask the wizard to now help me create S&R2. This is where it seems to go back to the beginning and spend many seconds preparing the PDF for wizard use ( even though it's done it once already in step 1). in task manager I see that pdftohtml is running & using lots of CPU during these seconds.

what I am suggesting is keep the file used for wizard / testing from step 1 so that it does not have to be re-created for step 2 of the setup test - . I am not talking about the actual conversion to epub. does that make sense

ps on saving previous S&R into a drop down - will that then work across different books - as some expressions may be re-usable elsewhere? Ideally it would be good to accumulate a user's mini library of expressions somewhere, or to have a way of sharing them on this forum
