PDF to EPUB conversion missing text
I've created a book in MS Word and then used the Print to PDF feature to create a good PDF file. I then add the PDF to Calibre and test (it opens in Adobe reader, which is ok, everything is there.
Then I want to convert this to EPUB for use on a NOOK. I use the Convert, select the cover JPG and start. the File converts, but it does so with a few missing letters. A character name "Drucilla" is converted many times to "Drucil a" ... just a letter but it makes it hard to read. How can I correct this? |

Firstly, don't convert from PDF. Use your original Word file and convert that.
Secondly, see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=118605 Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk |

Use docx input to convert to epub2 in Calibre.
No page styles, use paragraph styles, no headers or footers. Only inline italic, bold, superscript and subscript formatting. Everything else a paragraph style. No inherited styles. Make any headings not in TOC / Contents have no heading level, level = body text. Contents page no page numbers and delete automatic TOC, make a bookmark at each heading and a link to it. All heading styles in TOC/Contents should insert Page Break before. Save As an extra docx. Use the current native format in Word or Writer to Edit. If I'm wanting a PDF I use the WP source and change page size, add custom format pages at start and end, add page numbers and change format of Contents, add headers and footers, use different resolution images and may change paragraph styles and use inherited styles. |
