PDF conversion breaks links, TOC

ToddA · 02-02-2010, 11:26 AM

Does anyone know what settings (if any!) to use in Calibre to preserve internal links in a PDF file when converting?

I convert a PDF file or ebook with a perfectly good table of contents into any other format, and the links in the TOC all redirect to the cover page, so clinking on any link brings up the cover instead of the appropriate chapter!

Thanks!

Not yet, new PDF engine that will do this automatically is in the works.

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye out for the eventual update, thanks!

Looking forward to that. Had several unsuccessful conversion from PDF to epub. Currently, I am going from PDF to rtf to epub. That seems to work in almost all cases.

Cheers
