Use Server as conversion service,
Hi,
becaus I did not find anything about this anywhere I ask here if it is posible, but is it posible to send the Calibri Server a EPUB or other E-Book format and it sends me a PDF back?
Since from what I understand calibri can do the conversion it selfe.

Why I ask this, is becaus it would allow to use calibri as conversion tool for a DMS like paperlesngx or other usecases where one needs to convert E-Books to PDFs.

Greetings

I think you are misunderstanding me a bit.
I want to do it without using the UI, but via a API or other mechanism, to integrate it into an other program.

the server implements conversion and uses a JSON API to do it, read the source code of the server to find the details or query an AI it will point you to it
