normal pdf to abnormal epub
I have some nice pdf that I wanted to convert to epub but when I do it in Calibre the text is messed up like this
![]() As you can see, the brakes are in the middle of the sentence. So is there something I can do in Calibre to fix this? |

You may want to try opening your pdf file in Microsoft Word. Word will offer to convert it to docx. Word often does a very good job on pdfs.
If the resulting docx looks ok, add it to Calibre to conver to epub--Calibre does a very good job converting docx to epub. |

Yeah, I can do that but then the links-content doesn't work anymore, so I wondered if there was some way I could convert it as pdf so that I don't lose them.

Did you try tweaking the Line un-wrapping factor as suggested in the manual. There's a link to it in the first para of the sticky I posted. There are numerous threads about converting PDFs to EPUB in the Workshop. And there are addins for Word (notably ePubTools and TransTools) and plugins for ePub Editors (especially Sigil) that target the vagaries of converting PDF to EPUB. BR |
