PDF to EPUB batch/script conversion ?
Hi Folks.
I finally got myself a reader that does EPUBs and would like to do the very thing illustrated in post #6 by Manichean in this prior thread: Where the command line structure is: Quote:
Would someone please show me how the command line tool ebook-convert.exe can be engaged for batch conversion using that info ? Thanks for any help ! |

If I remember correctly, I used that exact syntax to test-convert some books directly from the command line. It should also be possible to use the command in a script, if you prefer or need that.

Hi and thanks !
I opened a command window at that folder and tried it and it did not work. As it stands I've got several different folders with PDFs in them and additionally need to specify paths for input and output or I'd have to copy them a folder at a time into Calibre's program folder for conversion (if I had to). So - from your reply I'm thinking this is just used as a command-line and not from a batch file or script file ? Thanks again ! |

My apologies for the vagueness.
The error page was quite long and started with a complaint that 'for' was not recognized - but that is as specific as I can remember. I will try it again tomorrow, right now I must get ready for work. I will also copy a bunch of those PDFs into the same directory and try it that way. Thanks ! |

You are actually using Windows, right? And the normal command line interface? I used the command on XP.
