Question PDF help

Hello all,

First off, thank you for all the help with my other issue.


This issue is small, and I know it might not be solved.

Is there a way to make so that when pdf files are added, they are not converted? The reason being that I have not had any luck in Calibre being able to convert them.

You could suggest that in the bug tracker, making a request for a new feature: "Adding books - granular control for the auto-converting option, according to each input format".

I think it's clear enough, but you could edit it to reference this thread. This should provide more context.
