problems converting math

ebooksrule · 03-30-2012, 01:44 PM

I am trying to convert a pdf file that has quite a bit of math to ePub format. When I do this in Calibre, the math does not convert at all. Any ideas how to fix this?

If possible, get the source file and work from that.

.pdfs convert all math tagging into positional and sizing instructions in the .pdf.

If that's not an option, you could look at one of the formula translation systems such as FFES:

Or you'll need to make images of the pages.
