Hence, it is not the best tool to extract the text and the images from a PDF.Īnyway, the script will ask if you want a reflowable text ePub or a fixed layout ePub if you install the Calibre software ( apt install calibre) or if you use the image dodeeric/pdf2epubex:calibre (image much bigger than dodeeric/pdf2epubex). pdf2htmlEX is THE tool to maintain the original layout. This script is converting a PDF to a fixed layout ePub. More about fixed layout (FXL) ePub version 3 specifications (IDPF / W3C): Fixed Layouts (EPUB Content Documents 3.2) and Fixed-Layout Properties (EPUB Packages 3.2). Please also note that there is a Web browser reader available. Please note that: a) the ePub file has to pass a pre-check to be able to be hosted in the Google cloud b) if you upload a PDF, all pages (text + images) will be converted into images (the text and vector images are rasterized, and no hidden text layer will be added: it means no text search or copy/paste is possible). You can also upload eBooks from the Google Play Books web interface (see the Upload files button on the top right corner). The uploaded eBooks (PDF or ePub) will be available on all devices using the same Google account. To use Google Play Books, you have to go to Settings, then set Enable uploading. A smartphone is not adapted most of the time because of the too small screen size.Ī lot of ePub reader apps exist (to read reflowable text ePub and fixed layout ePub) available on different platforms (Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, or Linux): Google Play Books, BookShelf, PocketBook, Adobe Digital Editions, Apple Books (only on iOS formely known as Apple iBooks), etc.Īmazon Kindle does not support the standard ePub format (they have their own format which is based on the ePub format). To read a fixed layout ePub, the best device is a tablet (Android or iOS/iPad). It is available on Amazon and on Googgle Play Books. The script is based on the method described in my book published in 2014: Fixed Layout ePub: A Practical Guide to Publish eBooks from PDF Files.
