Reply To: Newbie question: ePub fundamentals

Yes you get valid EPUB3 and searchable text. When working from PDFs we use an option called ’embedded text’ which exactly preserves the appearance from the original page. All done automatically in minutes… get in touch if you want to a free trial! https://www.circularflo.com/contact/

Although it sounds as though you are looking for reflowable? Fixed layout is only EPUB3 and KF8 not EPUB2 so not an option.
