epub2pdf conversion paper size question

rjwse@aol.com · 12-11-2020, 11:55 AM

When converting to PDF from EPUB the paper size at 6 x 9 inches produces output at 5.75 x 9 inches. I experimented and changed the setting to 6.25 x 9 inches and this converts to a 6 x 9 inches. I cannot find what I am doing wrong. Best regards, Pop

this is converting a particular book or all books?

I have not checked all of them but, so far, just the one. With input at '5.5x8.5' its output says '5.25x8.5'. I also tried '6x9', '6.00x9.00', '6 x 9', '6.0 x 9.0', '6.0x9.0', but all drop a quarter inch. I just downloaded 5.7.1 and it is still doing it. I am using Ubuntu gnome 20.04 and I know you do not really like Gnome and I do not like it either very much. I was wondering about the printer's offset and margins and am going to change the CSS. I will check stuff like Autokey, Okular, etc. Best regards, Pop

Works for me with 6x9 checking the page size in okular.
