Why?
Conversion from PDF to EPUB typically relies on a combination of freeware tools to extract the content and manual quality checks to find the inevitable errors that result from this approach. These are the errors that ebook buyers frequently flag in their online reviews, such as two words joined together, or one word still divided by an end-of-line hyphen; broken paragraphs; question marks and boxes in place of accented letters and symbol characters; lost text formatting, and no table formatting.
