These are the same sort of folks that think that at the KDP, that 'other' prompt that says "do a paperback" means that they upload their MOBI file and a magical print interior is created for them, automagically, too. Nothing against it, but it's not designed to be an INDD (InDesign) replacement. Obviously, that's not going to happen with Calibre. They have some idea that we can "just push a button" and out pops a fully-laid-out, ready for print, print interior for a book. The people that ask us for this aren't seeking a simple, "something-I-can-print-out" type PDF.
I generally select a page size around A5 and margins around 0.5-0.7". I don't know exactly what you are looking for (PDF interiors ?), but the very few times I've needed an PDF of an ePub I've always had good usable results by opening the ePub in calibre's ebook-viewer app and using its print function. It's down to ePUB->HTML-Word-processor->PDF.īut if anyone seriously finds a way, TELL ME!!! :-) I WISH that there was any, ANY type of pushbutton way to do it, but as far as I can see, there just isn't. We've been asked to "just" make PDF interiors, for a print layout, from ePUBs I-don't-know-how-many-times. Possibly I've misunderstood it, but I don't see anything in that. Why bother? Might as well just use Calibre to make a PDF, at that point.
High quality epub to pdf converter software#
That route would take you right back to Calibre-convert the ePUB to something else, and then put that "something else" into that software to make a PDF. Perhaps I skimmed too quickly, but the only thing I see, for that PDFCreator software is that "if you can PRINT your document, you can." and ePUBs, by definition, are not set up to print. Oh, my bad, it's only works for Mac, for Windows, I found this via google: This PDF Creator claims could create PDF document from EPUB, you could have a try first. These generally produce PDFs with images for each page rather than "live" text. The macOS also have a built in service to do the same though it is a separate button in the print dialog rather than a listed printer. The current Win10 has a default virtual printer and 3rd party virtual printers have been available for ages. The other method is to open the ePub in an ebook reader application that haa a print function and select a PDF virtual printer as your printer.

These can yield PDFs with separate test and images, but require manual input to select page size, margins, text size. One is to use a conversion tool like those already mentioned, along with many others.
There are two broad classes of methods to produce PDFs from ePubs. There is absolutely no way that any application can automagically read your mind and create a page specification that matches your expectations. Keep in mind that normal ePubs, "fixed layout" ePubs excepted, do not have any concept of "pages" and PDF requires a page specification. Not sure if this is the proper place for this, but does anyone know of a really good epub to PDF converter that will actually work properly?
