Going from PDF to epub makes sense because everything is laid out correctly, as<br>
it is in the original SLA. Somehow all of this gets lost in any further<br>
conversions. That is the problem, it's like having to start all over again in<br>
Word/LibreOffice. Seems a bit barseackwards, no?<br>

<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">When Scribus creates a PDF it does not necessarily start in the top left corner and work itself downwards, it might as well place the objects by the order they appear in the SLA or some other arbitrary order.<br>
<br><div class="gmail_extra">When you see the word "Hello!" you do not know
in what order the letters were placed. For a visual reading the order is
not important as long as the are all in the correct place.<br><br></div>You can decompress a PDF and look at the "postscript" within the PDF to see the complexity.<br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">/Peter<br>
