MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Converting PDF to EPUB and automatically creating popup footnotes

bleopaskom · 12-28-2021, 02:45 PM

I use Abbyy to convert PDFs to EPUB, and the conversions are almost perfect.

When I open some of these converted epubs into Calibre, all the footnotes are linked and pop up correctly in the editor. The rest of the converted epubs do not have any linked footnotes, and to fix I would have to manually link each and every one of them.

Do I have to do something in Abbyy first?

Is there a Calibre addon that can help link them automatically?

There was maybe something about exporting to Word and fixing it there, or using Sigil, or just making use of Toxaris ePUB-Tools, but I don't really understand how to do it.

A step-by-step guide would be appreciated.

Thanks!
