The problem, as several people have alluded to, is epub itself which largely
seems to be a drm wrapper. I have the same problems exporting to epub from
adobe indesign - even though epub is an adobe monstrosity.

OvPro itself can't export as PDF, but like like any app that has a Print
facility, OvPro, Eureka etc, etc, it can Print to PDF.
This is no help as it's now proven, to our satisfaction, PDFs do not
convert well to Epubs.

No, there's only one issue.
It's not a case of wishes, every single document I have is in OvPro
format, I've been using it since it first arrived...
You are all still missing THE point it's mostly about.
I am not creating new documents, these are all old documents and wanting
to do something else with them.
If I was creating a new document *now* for the purpose in hand, I'd not
bother with all this RO ****, but go straight to a PC app that'll do the
business without any additional aggravation.
That *is* what we do now with new documents, for as much as I dislike
Word... We can Export straight out of Word and into Calibre (I say 99.9
percent she says 100 percent accurate).

FWIW. I still prefer, and do use OvPro for all my business documents, it's
a most excellent app, it's just unfortunate that in the export area it's
so lacking.
