Help merging in Calibre

LauraV · 03-01-2023, 05:16 AM

Desperately need help to insert a series of spreadsheets into a book I have uploaded to Calibre. The spreadsheets are currently in PDF format. They need to be dropped at the end of the ebook. Everything I've tried has resulted in a corruption of the files.
Help.

Assuming the book itself is also a PDF, something like PDFSam (https://pdfsam.org/downloads/) or another tool capable of merging PDFs should do the trick.

Do a Save to Disk of the original book, merge the two PDFs and reimport into Calibre.

If your spreadsheets within your PDF(s) are complete pages, and should remain complete pages when inserted at the end of your book, then mbovenka already has the best solution; -- given that there is no formatting required like page margins, headers, footers, ...
Otherwise, you should edit the book source to insert your spreadsheets.
