A little help converting ePUB to PDF

GuilleCrK · 01-04-2019, 11:03 AM

Hi there!
I'm new on this forum I decided to make this question, because I searched about it in other topics and I couldn't find any help regarding this issue.

My problem seems to be easy to solve. I have an ePUB and I want to convert it to PDF. The application does its job almost perfect, but there's one details that is interferring with my desired result. The problem lies with the numbered list, where the numbers are cropped, e.g.:

The image above is from the output PDF file.

Investigating further more I found this even ocurr in the e-book viewer if it is in "page mode":

If the viewer is in "flow mode" it shows the numbers correctly:

So, is there any chance that the output file (PDF), keep the numeration like in the "flow mode" of the e-book viewer? If not the case, is there an alternative solution? Is really important for me, because the ePUB is a practice test, with questions and answers and without viewing clearly the numbers is a confusing task.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Simply increase the margins/padding for that list in the EPUB file before conversion.

Thanks for your fastest reply. I forgot to mention that I already did that and the result is the same. I increased/decreased the margins with no improvement.
To be honest, the program is user-friendly, so, is easy to find/make that kind of setting.

Thanks again.

not the page margins the actual margins for th elist in the source EPUB file using the edit book function.

OK, I did that, I changed the left margin from 30px to 100px (just for testing) and the result is the same, although this time, the left margin is visible increased.

that's certainly not normal. What are you setting the margins on? This will be much easier if you an attach a sample from the book showingthe problem.

Thanks again for your reply, I was away the last weekend.
I attach a sample of the file I'm having trouble (It's just a sample, not the whole e-book) and you will see all the mentioned in previous posts.

Look around line 172 of WileyTemplate_v5.3.css

add

margin-left: 2em to it and you will be fine.
