Multiple AZW > PDF Conversion Preference Profile Settings

Blaineoreski · 06-13-2020, 09:59 AM

Hi,

It is possible to save your AZW > PDF conversion settings in Preferences. This is REALLY helpful!

Is it possible to have TWO unique sets of AZW > PDF conversion preferences?

Here is my thinking: I use one set of conversion preferences for texts I'll use chiefly on-screen. The other set for documents I'd likely print.

Right now I'm needing to kind of keep a running tab of all the small changes between the two, and I enter those based on what I'll be using the document for.

Is there anyway for me to have

Conversion Preferences

azw > pdf (1)
azw > pdf (2)

Sincerely,

Blaine

Hello Kovid!

Hope you're doing GREAT!!

I could do that, I think. Please can you tell me the path? And, would it be just a question of swaping out the config file before opening?

Thank you SO MUCH FOR CREATING Calibre!

Sincerely,

Blain

Preferences->Miscellaneous->Open calibre config directory will tell you the path. Just swap out the two config folders.

I do it by changing the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY Environment variable to reference one of three configuration folders.
