EPUB to PDF: too big size
Dear Calibrers,

perhaps it is a common question but I didnt find any answer. When I convert my EPUB to PDF it longs for 20 minutes and the result PDF is 200 MB size. The text in the PDF is not a text, but an image. I cant find the right button in the EPUB to PDF conversion dialog window, could you help me? Thank you!

thank you! I always set it to A4. But the problem appears only with this book.

PS Thank you for your great work!

I found that text as picture starts from page 4. Normal text is on 2nd and 3rd pages.

It's probale that your system has no font capable of rendering the Cyrillic characters in TTF format, so the conversion ends up rendering them as outlines. Install some such font and change the font references in the epub to refer to that font and you should be fine.
