CHM to epub - Pictures cut off?

jahall05 · 09-07-2014, 11:13 AM

Hello everyone,

I am new here, but am familiar with Calibre. It is a great product with a lot of great features.

I recently downloaded a book and it was in CHM format. I am using an iPad Mini w/ Retina Display and running Calibre on a MacBook Pro. This particular book has a lot of images and I noticed that some of the images are being cut off...well let me explain further...a lot of images are being split up between two pages...part of the image will be on one page and when you get to the next page the rest of the image is there. This isn't a HUGE issues, but it would be nice to have the images pushed to the next page so the image is all in one piece.

Is there a way to do this with Calibre? Perhaps a setting I missed?

Thanks in advance!

If you wish all images to be on their own pages, add the following to extra css in the look & feel section of the conversion dialog:

img { page-break-before: always}

@jahall05 - or use a CHM-aware Reader on your iPad, there are quite a few to choose from.
