Hello all,

I am very new to this forum and to using Calibre. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues when converting a PDF to EPUB via calibre with returns being int he middle of the sentance for no reason.. For exampe

I used the Ipad sett... If I convert the same file online with Epub2go, it comes out perfect... I would love to do that, but I have a lot of PDFs that I want to convert.. Also I know the new version of IBooks support PDF, but I like the way the EPUBs look in ibooks..

Thanks for any help or suggestions

you need to play a little with the unwrap factor setting in the pdf conversion options under PDF Output

Thanks for the quick response... Did you mean Line Un-Wrapping Factor in PDF Input.. I cant find that setting in PDF output

What did you set it at? I've played with that setting and didn't find that it had any noticeable effect.
