Calibre Conversion Error

[eucalyptus]

I've been using Calibre for a bit without any issues. Today, though, I tried to convert a book and received the following error:

ERROR: Conversion Error: <b>Failed</b>: Convert book 1 of 1 ([Songs & Swords 1] Elfshadow)

I'm using version 7.28 (the latest one as of this posting).

Never mind, I managed to solve it by editing the file (it was RTF) and setting paragraph spacing to 'Auto'. Thanks.

hi so i was facig the same issue with RTF files on my Mac and to resolve it i followed these steps -
1. In the TextEdit app on your Mac, select the text you want to adjust.

2. Choose Format > Font > Kern, then choose an option.

3. Use Default: Automatically adjusts the distance between characters (if necessary) to make them easier to read.

4. Save and close the file

5. Run conversion again and it worked
