Best settings to convert PDF to epub (having problems)

topcat07 · 07-01-2014, 06:31 AM

Hi All,

Just got a Kobo touch and using the default settings in calibre to convert from pdf to epub.

Although the output seems to be horrible with lines all over the place. For example a sentence such as:

The dog went to the park

would end up formatted as

the dog went to

the park.

Next sentence

If anyone could help me with optimal settings or even a better piece of software for this specific task i would really appreciate it as i have a lot of pdfs to read.

The problem isn't a Kobo related issue. You will see the same problem if you open the epub with the calibre viewer or any other epub reader. Have a look at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=118605 for some suggestions.
