Join multiple EPUBs into single file?

Shohreh · 01-26-2024, 07:09 AM

Hello,

Apparently, since neither Calibre nor Abbyy can use a PDF's bookmarks to split chapters, I'm thinking of 1) exporting chapters into independent PDFs, 2) convert them into individual EPUBs, and 3) join them into a single EPUB file.

Code:

cpdf.exe -split-bookmarks 0 input.pdf -o out%%%.pdf

Is there an open-source, preferably CLI application, that can join EPUBs into a coherent file?

Thank you.

You can use calibre with the EpubMerge plugin.

Thanks.

Can it be called through the CLI, so as to use a batch file and automate the process as much as possible?

If not, is there an alternative (pandoc, etc.) ?

I don't run via a command line. I run via the calibre gui.
