Hi Everyone,

I've been using Calibre for a while, successfully converting EPUB into MOBI for my Kindles.

However, I am having problems converitng CBR [Comic Book] into PDF.

I am getting a large e-ink tablet soon, and thought I might see what CBR files look like on it (it is PDF-only).

But the conversion is giving me trouble.

The converted PDF looks good at first. For the first 1/3rd to 1/2 of the document, the CBR pages have been converted 1-to-1 into PDF pages.

However, after that point, as you go through the document, the comic images on the PDF pages become progressively smaller, until each one is taking up 1/4 of a page or less.

Does anyone know why the CBR images shrink in the outputted PDF after a certain point in the document? I am puzzled.

I have set the "input profile" as "Default Input Profile," which Calibre lists as 1600x1200, and the "output profile" as "Tablet" [unlimited pixels.]

What I am trying to do is get the CBR files exported as A4 or Legal-sized PDF documents, of maximum possible resolution.
