I can't print a AZW3 to a PDF

spikejones · 12-26-2016, 09:50 PM

Using the E_Book Viewer in Caliber I opened the Caliber User Manual. I tried to do a search using Control-f like I would do in a PDF, but I couldn't get it to work. So I saw the "Print to PDF file" button and I thought I'd try that but I keep getting the error "Failed to generate PDF file, click "Show details" for more information". I have Calibre ver 2.75.1 I'm using Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit.

This was my first post - question. I didn't know what to put in the "Tags" box. What kind of information goes in that box?

spoiler 'tags' are placed around long pastes like logs
ex
[spoiler]Really annoyingly long log paste that only some are knowlageable about OR on a tiny screen [/spoiler]

I used the noparse tag to show a faked tag

The tags box just lets you assign keywords to a post, to let others search for it. I wouldn't bother at all with the tags..

See ==>> MobileRead Forums - BB Code (Tag) List

'Tag' must be the most overloaded word in the IT industry lexicon. I've seen it used 3 times as a noun in one sentence to refer to 3 quite different things. Here are 136 noun synonyms for 'tag' ==>> https://www.powerthesaurus.org/tag/synonyms/noun.

See last line in introductory section of ==>> calibre User Manual

Quote:

An ebook version of this user manual is available in EPUB format, AZW3 (Kindle Fire) format and PDF format.

For some reason that line is missing from the download versions of the manual.
