PDF Conversion Recommendation

helixpteron · 01-07-2017, 05:05 AM

I've had fantastic results with a combination of Aiseesoft Pdf converter and calibre.

Aiseesoft does unfortunately not set the right title, author and cover. Therefor setting the autoimport folder of calibre as the output folder of Aiseesoft doesn't work. That would be fantastic. So now I simply highlight the new book from autoimport and merge the two books with add new format (command shift M on the mac). To have the cover image show up in ibooks I do another epub to epub conversion with tablet as output profile, so that I don't loose image quality.

I looked around for a good solution to do pdf to epub conversion and I'm happy with this for now. The output of wondershare converter, Adobe Pro to html and calibre or calibre itself was producing half cut and jaggered paragraphs, but Aiseesoft never did this once - so I stopped looking.

Cheers, Rob.

Thank you for providing this recommendation for converting PDF books to epub.

For other folks dealing with PDF conversions it can be tricky, read this sticky post for the basic PDF conversion issues.

Might I also add that posting the same content into multiple threads is not encouraged, and makes one wonder if this is advertising for a product..

The double posting was by mistake. I was looking around for a solution and had the old one open instead of the one I wanted to answer. As my recommendation wasn't terribly successful (see other post) it would be bad advertising

. I didn't find a way to fully delete a post. Sorry - Rob.
