But what you're saying currently doesn't make any sense. You were copying/pasting out of a PDF into Sigil, but that wouldn't include images...
What's the ultimate goal though, are you trying to create text that's more readable on your reader? Because there are tools like k2pdfopt that will crop the PDFs. Then you don't have to go through all this copy/pasting, or going through the hell of trying to clean up PDF-to-text conversions. |
I was copying and pasting the text in between the images. For the images, I screen-clipped and saved each one and inserted them individually into the ePub as I went along. So I would paste a small amount of text, get to an image and have to save it before inserting it, and then go back to copying and pasting a few paragraphs of text at a time. Sorry for the confusion.
I was going through all of this because I like to use large fonts, and in this case the reflow was terrible. Since it isn't a very long guide and I was going to read it anyway... I figured I would just make it into an ePub while I was at it. I've never had any problems doing this before. (On Windows anyway. I'm new to Linux. Maybe Windows 7 was just more forgiving of my apparently wrong way of doing this, or I was just lucky to not have any problems before now?)
Thank you for the link. I think I looked at it years ago, but I still needed a larger font on my 6" eReader. I have a 10" one, so I may give it another try next time I boot up my Windows computer and hook up a monitor.
