Calibre: wrong drawings when converting Pdf to epub

gillesB. · 05-01-2009, 04:49 AM

Hi
I am using calibre on a sony PRS : this is a great software !

I tried to convert a pdf into epub (because the pdf was created for A4 so converting helps in making it readable on my ebook)
But I realized that all drawings (images) are "reversed" (as if you see them in a mirror) in the created Epub file.... Viewing this file in calibre or in my ebook gets the same problem
I backtracked to an older release of calibre (0.59 to 0.57) but the same problem appears...
Am I the onlyone to get this problem? may it comes from the original pdf file ?
Thanks
Gilles

It is a known bug in pdftohtml (the software calibre uses to convert PDF to HTML). Unfortunately, until the authors of pdftohtml fix it, there's not much I can do.
