Calibre is far from ideal so I wonder if there is a better way to convert a PDF into EPUB? Maybe a new AI tool exist for that purpose? What do you use?

    Well data extraction from PDF is always tricky and there isn’t a defined way of how to translate PDF to EPUB 1:1 so I don’t think it’s calibre is the problem. It’s difficult to program how to reverse engineer automatically.

      This is the answer.

      PDF was designed to be hard to convert. Mobi to EPUB easy though because it’s just text.
