After I change my PDF to an epub file, it does not look the same. I have two photos per page in the PDF, and when it converts to epub it shows only one picture per page with double the amount of pages?

    have figured out that many people are having a problem with converting pdf into epub, mobi etc as the it doesnt keep the formatting. The best way that works includes merging the pdfs into one pdf and then the one pdf ,into png and then merging all the png into one pdf again..
    You'll need two programs for this operation:
    pdf24 and Calibre.

    heres how i figured out how you can do this.. :

    Stage 1 Create word docs (doc or docx)- convert them to pdf

    Stage 2 open: pdf24 program
    convert pdfs from stage 1) into separate png (300dpi and quality 100) and save in a folder .

    Stage 3 then:
    in pdf24: import pngs and make 1 'pdf : 'images to pdf'

    Stage 4 Open Calibre
    Click add books - import pdf (from stage 3 ) may take a moment
    5 Change the details of the book: title, author, publisher
    6 Select the book (pdf) and then select convert

    Stage 7 another window will pop up; and from the top right select the output file 'epub'
    Change the details of the book: title, author, publisher if it hasnt done already

    Stage 8 Select ok and wait ...

    Stage 9 on the original window under the book cover, it should read Formats:PDF, epub.

    Stage 10 Click the 'drop down icon on the geen view icon (top bar) select view specific format; 'view as epub'

    this worked for me !

    Try Calibre. It's an open source ebook management app that organizes ebooks and can convert between multiple formats.

    Yes, Calibre works very well in my experience BUT it doesn't work if you buy something in pdf and the Seller put a DRM on it.

    Nor should it do anything differently than any other software package. DRM

    is implemented the same way across the board.

    How are you converting it to epub? Acrobat doesn't export to epub.

    I am converting it in Adobe Buzzword.
