Question Always got a big font size for converted files
Hi,
I did searched before posting here.
Also did checked the manual.
I've a .epub file that I must convert to .pdf in order to print it.
I've tweaked several options according to manual and tips from here and there but always got the same problem.
Always got a big size format in the new converted file.
Document is already 439 pages long but the new converted file is 1830 pages long.
Please advice for what I should study and learn to master conversion process?
Thanks

Yes, this is the part that I did read very carefully.
I am afraid that nothing changed, unless I doing something wrong.
My main problem is that I need to print the .epub and that requires converting it to .pdf first.
Do I need to convert it to .pdf first or there is a better option?
Also I did the default settings.
Please advice.
Thanks

Did you try adjusting the font settings in the PDF Output tab of the conversion dialog?

Export RTF, input to Wordprocessor. Adjust page size and fonts. Export to PDF, or just print.

if you want to print the epub then open teh ebook viewer:
Right click on viewer;
click on print;
set your pdf parameters.

Hint use the editor to check that you do not have large font sizes in the epub css.

But working with Word formatting is time consuming and there are a lot of files head need to be converted.

Thanks a lot for such an option.
This is by far the best option I've tried.
Please, when I try this approach, how to adjust the printed .pdf file to have each new chapter in a new page instead of continue everything all after each others?
As it is treating everything as a one single big paragraph.
Thanks
