It appears that the EPUB validator stops reading when it hits some errors, so the list expands and contracts based on what kind of errors show up.
Ideas welcome!

It doesn't matter how you convert the PDF, the correct process is the same. Once the PDF is converted to ePub, you have to A/B compare everything with the PDF. You have to compare every word, every letter, every space, every punctuation mark. Then when you are done, can you then proceed to clean up the formatting of the ePub. Then when that's done can you say you are done. You do not need to copy the book's formatting in the ePub because this is not a pBook. for example, you do not need loads of empty space around chapter titles.
If you've not A/B compared the PDF to the ePub, you are not done and you have errors.
