Yes, you are right. I had overseen this in a first quick view.

Anyway, the problem on first place is a wrong conversion and I really have a problem with this stupid kind of workflow users do these times. People should really learn to use tools in a experienced way. A waste of time doing that this way especially if you have the original PDF. It makes no sense converting a document and spending then hours on an problem what came from a wrong one-click action and could solved easily with intelligent conversion settings that match for the document. Spending some time with tweaking the correct parameters is much better than never knowing what they are doing.

@nopi1001,

take a closer look on the conversion settings for PDF sources. The standard setup isn't good anyway for converting PDF.

For your initial problem you need to tweak the un-warping factor. For novels you need to go fare way below the standard factor. Somewhere between 0.1 to 0.2.

In general, for a first check you should deactivate all kind of automatic processing. Make a first conversion and then check what happen and then afterwards use only what you need for that special document. Doing it this way will save you in the end a lot of time (as I wrote on an other posting before).
