PDF to Epub Issues

Joe6Pack · 01-16-2017, 02:17 PM

Dear Kovid,

Thanks for calibre, it works great! I'm an ablslute novice to css code etc. so forgive my ignorance! I have a problem; after conversion from PDF to Epub, the text om my book (Koboglo) shows up with a blank line in between every two lines and a new line after each hyphen, like so;

"overwhelm-

ing mass of scientific evidence still contradicts the Big Bang, as

this book endeavors to show. As of this writing—May 1992—the

Big Bang remains in just as deep trouble as ever, with even wider

divergence from observation than when the first edition of this etc."

end of text

It must be easy for you to suggest css-code to fix this, could you tell me what it is?

Thanks a lot!

Greetings,

Joe

This ain't a CSS issue; rather it's a PDF conversion issue. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=118605

Thanks PeterT for the reply, the link doesn't seem to work; could you enlighten me about this conversion issue, because that would seem to be one of the features of what calibre is all about?
Thanks, Joe

The link works (opens a new TAB on your browser)

And I agree. This is a PDF

issue

The link works now Peter, thanks. To my regret I see that this has to be dealt with manually, that's too bad, I had hoped for an easier solution. Thanks anyway!
Cheers, Joe

Have you tried changing the line unwrap parameter? You'll have to ensure calibre uses your new settings for conversion and does not use the values from your initial conversion.

Hi Peter,

Yep, that seems to work for the most part, thanks!
Cheers,
Joe
