How on planet Earth can I change this pdf to epub? I tried everything I could think of in Calibre but the problem is that the pdf has 2 columns of text per page, plus footnotes on each page. When it converts to epub it just prints each line of each text column as a line of text, which makes it totally lose it’s meaning. Footnotes are also just added as regular text, as part of a supremely incoherent story with aggressive punctuation.
Has anybody been able to solve this before?
Like others have said, you probably have to do it manually. If the pdf has a lot of pages though, and they’re all in a similar format, it might be easier to script it using something like https://github.com/jsvine/pdfplumber
