Margin Problem with .HTML to .PDF Conversion
Hello!
This is what I've done: I created my book in .docx format, and then I saved it as a "Web Page, Filtered," then I convert it in Calibre to .pdf. In the .pdf, the margins of the text of the book stretch out to almost the edges of the page, and the cover page, (which is a .png file embedded on the first page of the .docx/.html file) shifts to the right, and takes up nearly the entire page. In the .docx file, while using print view, the text of the book is centered, and the cover image is perfectly centered as well. I did notice, that in the web page view of the book in Word, that the text is stretched out similar to how it is in the .pdf that I created in Calibre, but the cover page is still centered like it is in print view. I created it using the Smashwords style guide, which I thought would increase my chances of a clean conversion. I also must mention that the text looks perfectly centered in the .pdf version that Smashwords generated that came directly from the same .docx file that I converted to .html, then converted in Calibre. Any help is appreciated, this is so frustrating. ![]() Last edited by heymon; 02-09-2012 at 07:59 PM. |

I even tried converting the word doc to .lit before converting it in Calibre, and the cover messes up just like the html to pdf convert, but now the text of the book is extremely small, barely legible...
