Hi there!
I'm new on this forum I decided to make this question, because I searched about it in other topics and I couldn't find any help regarding this issue.
My problem seems to be easy to solve. I have an ePUB and I want to convert it to PDF. The application does its job almost perfect, but there's one details that is interferring with my desired result. The problem lies with the numbered list, where the numbers are cropped, e.g.:
The image above is from the output PDF file.
Investigating further more I found this even ocurr in the e-book viewer if it is in "page mode":
If the viewer is in "flow mode" it shows the numbers correctly:
So, is there any chance that the output file (PDF), keep the numeration like in the "flow mode" of the e-book viewer? If not the case, is there an alternative solution? Is really important for me, because the ePUB is a practice test, with questions and answers and without viewing clearly the numbers is a confusing task.
Im a very basic Calibre user, I only need it to sort my ePub library and perform some corrections or modifications on my book's covers and metadata, which I eventually transfer to my Kobo device. I also save the final ePub files to my hard drive, and since I like them to have their covers fixed to their original dimensions and the modified metadata embedded, I usually perform an ePub to ePub conversion process just for that.
I dont really tweak with the books I download, I always get them in ePub format and let my Kobo take care of line spacings, fonts and justification, so Id be happy if I could just keep them as they come except for their covers, which I usually download on a better resolution and then resize all to the same height of 950 pixels (and obtaining different widths as I keep their intended proportions), and the metadata I include for myself so I can group them by languages, genres and such.
Although I've disabled all possible options and modifications in the conversion menus (font size, expressions, pages breaks ), I was wondering if there's a better/simpler/more efficient way to configure Calibre to process the original ePub file as little as possible in order to obtain an almost exact copy of it modifying only the book cover and metadata.
Would love to hear all your ideas and suggestions, thanks everyone in advance.
Hi, I need to convert a large number of mobi files to mobi files (yes, mobi to mobi). It's because the author data on the existing mobi files is picking up "firstname lastname" and I need to reconvert (then it picks up authorsort as lastname, firstname).
BUT I can't define the input format in calibre for a bulk conversion - it picks up epubs to convert unless I convert each book individually. Any suggestions?
Hello folks
Ive been a Calibre user for years and used EPUB until now. Got myself an Oasis, and thought ill better covert some 5k book to mobi (some are already in movie and epub format). Have read read loads and loads of MOBI vs AWZ vs AWZ3 vs KFX - jee , I am more confused than I was when I started.
I want to have the best possible option, not too bothered about size etc. Also thought of getting rid of all the other formats, as I doubt Ill ever use an iPad again to read, after the Oasis
Is there any way to specify the option "Use cover from source file" during bulk conversion? It only appears to show up when converting individual books, and since I have over 1,200 books in my library this is a bit prohibitive.
It was working perfectly and then my hard drive crashed and burned. Sadly, my image backup of the drive was corrupted and I had to reinstall Windows and all my programs. :angry:
I reinstalled Calibre and then downloaded the Apprentice Alf DeDRM tool. It shows that it was successfully installed in the plugin page, but when I try to convert a book, I get a pop-up that the book is DRM protected.
I have some library books that will expire soon and be lost unless I can get this working.
I have searched everywhere for answers, and have only found dates information at best.
My ultimate goal here is to get Whispersync for VOICE to work between an Audible audiobook (it has Whispersync, according to their library) and an e-book sideloaded into the kindle app on iOS devices (iPad and iPhone).
The best info I can come up with says it wont work because my sideloading has this far only yielded a document in kindle, not an actual book.
Ive tried removing the [PDOC] tag in the MOBI settings, to no avail.
Hi. First of all, I want to thank Mr. Goyal for his great software and the help he provides in this forum.
I'm having trouble converting an HTML that includes some Mathjax equations (like the example on https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/typesetting_math.html) into AZW3 for Kindle. The Calibre viewer displays everything well, but I noticed that the AZW3 file still loads the Mathjax library, wich cannot be used in a Kindle.
Is there a way to make the conversion using SVG images for displaying the equations in the Kindle?
:help:
I'm trying to convert files via a batch file, which works fine with just the filename using this syntax:
ebook-convert "filename.html" "filename.epub"
What I'd like is to add the publisher name to the front cover. In the GUI, I've set the sub-title template to {publisher}, and unchecked the 'get metadata from file only' option. When I generate covers from the GUI, it works.
But when I run it from the CLI or batch the metadata isn't added to the cover. The syntax I'm using is:
Working in ePub, I have text that is split by <br/> tag, where the tage has a css style that adjusts the height of the break.
Code:
Line 1<br class="brheight"/>Line 2
css:
.brheight {
line-height: 2.5em;
}
This displays without issue in ePub, but when I convert to AZW3, the line height is re-set to 1em. To be clear, the new stylesheet still retains the same css styling (2.5em), but for some reason, the display doesn't reflect the code.
Any ideas as to what's happening in the conversion process that causes this error?
I've been looking for a book reader that can handle all or almost all the book formats that I have including epub, doc, docx, pdf, DJVU, CBR, CHM, RAR files. From the documentation I've read, Calibre is supposed to be able to handle these files. Calibre works fine with epub, doc, docx, pdf files but not with the others.
First, I tried opening the DJVU, CBR, CHM, RAR files and Calibre said the format was not supported and then took me to an online description of the files. Then I tried converting them to epub which is my format of choice. And in some cases, it acted like it converted them, however, it only converted the first page, nothing else.
Am I expecting too much from Calibre? Are there plugins that I need to add for it to read and/or convert these files? Currently, I only have the DRM Removal plugin, nothing else.
I am trying to convert one PDF book into EPUB out put. i found most of the content are miss placed and the output is of no use.
Please suggest.
Input:
"I was born into a middle-class Tamil family in the island town of Rameswaram in the erstwhile Madras state. My father, Jainulabdeen, had neither much formal education nor much wealth;"
Ouput:
"Whenever human beings find themselves alone, as a natural reaction, By the time the boat met its untimely end,*Ahmed Jallaluddin had they start looking for company.*Whenever they are in trouble, they look become a close friend of mine, despite the difference in our ages. He for someone to help them. Whenever they reach an impasse, they look was about 15 years older than I and used to call me*Azad.*We*used to to someone to show "
I went so far as to copy and use the very first line in the pdf to replace it with some obvious text, but even that didn't work. I am aware of the way to write these, I wanted to remove the page numbers, "1 | 200" so \d+ \| \d+ was used, and replace was left blank. I have tested multiple formats and opened each one to verify nothing changed, it is really getting on my nerves. Am I missing a "run replace then convert" sort of step? I'm almost certain it should do it while converting it. While I'm asking, will this still work when converting multiple files at once if the page number format is the same for all of them?
I know this is an old thread, but I'm trying to find the setting for where I can disable the "merge identical CSS rules" function during conversion. I want to keep the same CSS titles that I set up and not have conversion merge them with other CSS titles.
Also, is there any setting where I can disable the changing of font sizes (during conversion) in the CSS rules that I've set up? The setting for "Disable Font Size Rescaling" messes up things worse, so I can't use that.
