That sounds really complicated!

Your version of Word doesn't have PDF export? I thought that was built in now.
I added that as a free plug-in to 2002 Version and LO Writer has perfect PDF Export, maybe since it forked from Open Office.

What does Excel do for this?

Edit:
Create catalogue. Practically 3 clicks.

Then convert the epub to PDF. It's slow if you add descriptions & thumbnails (I've 6570 titles, but some are data or reference PDFs, not ebooks. About 90% PD).

Edit 2:
PDF output lets you set "paper size" to suit the ereader (Sage, reMarkable, Elipsa, Scribe, Meebook, Boox etc with Digtiser) or app (iPad/Android with Digitiser) resolution/size. I picked either A5 or 6″x9″, I forget which.

Edit 3:
Calibre Epub to PDF conversion is far too slow for this. Convert to docx (set output page size & margins), open in LO Writer or Word and export to PDF.
