How to repair broken lines? - Page 3

If you have a reliable source (printed copy, pdf, scans...) it takes a while, but it's not unbearable, to go through all the pages marking the "good" paragraph breaks in your text. After that it's a matter or removing all '</p><p>' pairs that are not marked.

To be honest, for normal works, I prefer to remove all HTML tags, works in plain text and then add the HTML back.

IME, Adobe's online PDF converter works better than most; it's not perfect but it's about as good as a non-AI solution gets.

There are AI alternatives which promise to do better conversions ... and they probably do ... but I haven't used them and they aren't free. Google to find.
