Center-aligned figures in EPUB to PDF conversion

[piovac]

Does anyone knows a simple easy way to align figures in center of the pages in EPUB to PDF conversion?

By default mine are left-aligned in the PDF even if they are centered in the EPUB...

Export to docx. Edit / style in LO Writer or MS Word. Export to PDF.

I work exclusively in calibre's editor to make the epub for upload to Amazon. I convert the EPUB via calibre to PDF for upload to Amazon for printed books. There are several ways in CSS to center an image. Here are six print-screens showing how to alter by adding style="display: flex; float: none; margin: auto;" to center an image. There are umpteen other ways of doing this. Best regards, Pop

Unfortunately the problem is more subtle than that. The images are correctly centered in the EPUB and the DOCX translation, but not in the PDF. The CSS is correctly configured to center the images. Here is an example:

Here is how the images are included in the EPUB:

<div class="illustype_image_text"><div class="image_text" style="width:65%"><img src="images/e9780486153353_i0004.jpg" alt="e9780486153353_i0004.jpg"/></div>

And here is the definition of "illustype_image_text" in the CSS:

.illustype_image, .illustype_image_net, .illustype_image_tab, .illustype_image_text, .illustype_image_text_net, .illustype_image_math, .illustype_image_deco, .illustype_image_deco_net, .image_orig_tab, .illustype_image_externe, .image_sep_para {
		text-align: center;
		margin-top: 1.5em;
		margin-bottom: 1.5em;
		page-break-inside: avoid;
	}

If you have docx, and want PDF, don't bother with epub, Export direct from LO Writer.
