Your best PDF to epub or text software methods?
(www.prepressure.com)
I saw this other guy asking how you'd download protected drive only view documents. So that reminded me of that other annoying characteristic of PDFs. They're 'protected'.
How do you deal with PDFs that are inherently uncustomisable and have fixed formatting? I appreciate the KO Reader and other readers can do reflowable text, but I'd prefer not to and epubs/txt/any customisable format would be better.
Any good methods of PDF to text/epub out there?
If you have one of those really annoying PDFs where the structure is all crazy or some letters are pictures, etc., it is possible to OCR them with a mask on page numbers.
There are also tools which can just extract the text elements and smush them together, but as others have said, this doesn't always works as intended.
