Hi everyone!
Is it possible to convert .cbr files to pdf via the ebook-convert command?
The conversion within Calibre works perfectly well – when I use a shell script it gives out an error...
If I delete all conditions and convert the file via ebook-convert I get a folder with .png files in it and not a pdf...
Does anyone know why?

SOLVED!! I made a mistake !
Anyone who needs the script:

FULL_PATH="$1"
ORIG_FILE=$(basename "$FULL_PATH")
/Applications/Calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-convert "$ORIG_FILE" "converted/$(basename "$FULL_PATH" .cbr).pdf"

Where $1 is the file!

I love calibre!
