Convert Publisher PDF files to EPUB using Calibre

[arkay85]

Is there not a solution to convert PDFs to epub verbatim, keeping all of the book's contents in the correct place?

@arkay85 Unfortunately, no. PDFs use a type of coding when created that is completely different than an EPUB file and start within a page layout (InDesign) or word processing program.

Converting the "converted" file to another format brings in the PDF coding which, as you know, does not produce a perfect product. The best way is to start from the original file (InDesign or Word) and convert to the format you want. If PDF is all you have, then you will have a lot of code clean up.
