If you can't change the title of your thread, report it to the moderators (the little ! to your left) and ask them to change the title for you. Tell them what you want it changed to, of course.

As several people have said, "please help" may well be ignored by the people who could help you, which obviously isn't what you want. Using a specific title, laying out exactly what you're working with and what steps you've taken, and explaining what you want the results to be, will work a whole lot better.

Thanks... I actually tried that and got no responses...

You got the following response from the creator of calibre 2 minutes after you posted the thread.

Thanks!

See http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual...-pdf-documents

This response is thorough and to the point explaining the limitations of PDF format.

If you wanted help creating an epub book from scratch the ePub forum would have been a great place to start, or asking that question here and not making people guess what you are trying to do would have worked also.

Open office has a Writer2ePub (forum) extension to create ePub documents with OpenOffice.

Atlantis Word processor has the ability to save as a epub.

There is a Writers forum here and a Workshop forum here that may also be able to help you get started.

Good Luck.
