7 files - one Book

agnostyc · 03-29-2015, 09:08 PM

Is it possible to configure Calibre to held several files in one book (in one directory). [my Calibre is 2.22]
I mean you have lots of files from one conference and you want to see they as one book in the program interface. It's really annoying a huge number of articles on the screen..

Store them as seperats. Then use the EPUB-Merge PI to make a single book

But if these are PDF's from your conference then ePub merge won't help.

Truth!

agnostyc · 03-30-2015, 02:22 AM

the problem is that I have a lot of pdf and no one epub ; )

There are many programs that are capable of merging PDF files.

agnostyc · 03-30-2015, 04:45 AM

yeah, I know .. but merging pdf take a long time and required adding a content table (for many articles)

Its a pity there is no way to collect different materials (pdf, jpg, doc, etc) in one book cover.

However, I am very grateful to you for Calibre. thx.

If you simply want to store it in Calibre, you could always add them as a ZIP file. You couldn't directly read them, but at least they'd be stored.

there is a free pdf merge on line.
I use it to merge all of each truefire guitar lessons pack that I buy, as each purchase typically comes with 50 x pdfs.
I use the java applet version here:
http://www.pdfmerge.com/
then I save the single merged pdf, add it to calibre, add title, tags, cover etc...

@agnostyc - this is how I've handled conference papers.

Keep PDFs in a separate folder
Create empty book for conference
Put links to the papers in empty book comments
That gives me an index and links to click on

Sample attached

The ONE file would be my notes.

PS : Links in comments or long text custom columns can be used for 'anything' - I use them for files (video, audio, even a game or two), folders, Evernote Notes, FTP links, OneNote Pages, HTML links...
