Hello folks,
I am new here and new to the use of Calibre. I am just computer savvy enough to get myself in trouble now and then.
My wife downloaded a EPUB document (an 89 page study guide) that she would really prefer to read as a hard copy. I have tried to help her.
In Calibre, using the Reader, I could not convert it to a PDF (using the right click) print command.
I then tried to convert it to a DOCX file in the editor. It hung up at 47% (and when I let it run for 8 hours, at 67%)
I then downloaded the DeDRM plugin, removed and re-accessed the file, and it again hung up at 67%.
I added a second set of plugins, repeated the previous steps, no difference.
I also ran the "Beautify" and "Remove unused CSS" subroutines.
I repeated this all on my better computer, no better, but got to 67% done a lot faster... but no conversion past 67% after 12 hours overnight.
Did a Safe reBoot but it still did not work.
Here is what happens: I click on Edit Book, then the LadyBug (Check book) button. The program is (if I click on it anywhere) unresponsive and the cursor spins, and then the entire Edit Book window disappears (takes about 20 seconds on my desktop system, and about 45 seconds on my laptop). There is no log or error report for me to go over.
I have reviewed the recommendations for how to ask for help. But I am unable to show a "extract/sample that shows the problem, or use the calibre bug report system to create a private bug with the file attached."
I can show the reports for the "never-finished" reports, and I am uncertain how to insert in this message without hopelessly cluttering it, so the last bit (to show where it stopped) is appended.
I never got an error message when attempting to convert the file.
I did not change any conversion options from the default.
Here is the end of the log...
Parsing OEBPS/Creating_a_review_program_thats_right_for_you-1.xhtml ...
Reading TOC from NCX...
Parsed HTML written to: C:\Users\User\Calibre Library\parsed
Merging user specified metadata...
Detecting structure...
Structured HTML written to: C:\Users\User\Calibre Library\structure
Flattening CSS and remapping font sizes...
And that is where is stops.
I can copy/paste this document page by page into Word, fix the fonts and print it, but now I am curious what I am missing!
I am hopeful that some wiser person than I can quickly point me the right way!
Tim
