Remove All Page Breaks in MOBI or EPUB?

johnnyr · 11-10-2014, 04:30 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to convert a Mobi (or Epub) File to PDF. However in this particular document there seems to be manual page breaks in the MOBI and EPUB structure, such that each section (there are ~300) are marked with a page break, even those that do not take even half or 1/4 of a page.

Converting to PDF results in a 440 page document that could easily be halved if I could remove these page breaks. I know Calibre is not putting in the page breaks and that they are built into the structure of the MOBI.

Is there an easy way to remove all page breaks from the MOBI file before converting to PDF?

Thank you!

Open the EPUB (convert if necessary from MOBI) in the calibre editor, the shortcut key is "T".

Select all files, right click and merge them. Then edit the HTML to remove any manual page-break-(before|after) references. Check the CSS to make sure none are hiding there.

You are incredible. Just merging them was enough. Thank you!
