Unfortunately, not all readers and other mobile devices support PDF format reading, unlike books with EPUB extension, which are specifically designed to open on such instruments. Therefore, for users who want to familiarize themselves with the contents of the PDF document on such devices, it makes sense to think about its transformation into EPUB.
This reformatting method offers very detailed settings for EPUB format. Unfortunately, the Calibar has the ability to specify the directory where the transformed file goes, since all processed books are sent to the program library.
Method 2: AVS Converter
The next program that allows you to fulfill the operation of reformatting PDF documents in EPUB, is AVS Converter.
Download AVS Converter
- Open AVS Converter. Click "Add File".
Use the button with the same name in the panel if this option seems to you more acceptable.
You can also use the transition by the "File" menu and "Add files" menu or use Ctrl + O.
- The standard document adding tool is activated. Lay off the PDF location area and select the specified item. Click "Open".
There is another way to add a document to the list prepared to convert objects. It provides for dragging out of the "Explorer" of the PDF book in the AVS converter window.
- After executing one of the following actions described above, the PDF content will appear in the area for preview. You should select the final format. In the "output format" element, click on the rectangle "in ebook". An additional field appears indicating specific formats. In it from the list it is necessary to choose the option "EPUB".
- In addition, you can specify the address of the directory where the reformatted data will go. By default parameters, this is a folder where the last conversion was performed, or the "Documents" directory of the current Windows account. You can see the exact shipping path in the "Output folder" element. If he does not fit you, then it makes sense to change it. You must click "Review ...".
- A "folder overview" appears. Select the folder and press "OK" desired to store the reformatted EPUB.
- The specified address appears in the "Output folder" element.
- In the left area of the converter, under the format selection unit, you can assign a number of secondary conversion settings. Right click "format parameters. A set of settings group, consisting of two positions:
- Save the cover;
- Built-in fonts.
Both of these options are included. If you wish to disable the support of the built-in fonts and delete the cover, you should remove the mark from the corresponding positions.
- Next, open the "Combine" block. Here, with the simultaneous opening of several documents, it is possible to connect them to one EPUB object. To do this, put a mark near the "Combine Open Documents" position.
- Then click on the name "Rename" block. In the list "Profile" you need to select a renaming option. Initially, the "source name" value is set. When using this parameter, the name of the EPUB file will remain exactly the name of the PDF document, with the exception of the expansion. If you need to change it, then you need to mark one of the two positions in the list: "Text + Counter" or "Counter + Text".
In the first case, enter the desired name located below the "Text" element. The name of the document will consist of, in fact, this name and the sequence number. In the second case, the sequence number will be located in front of the name. This number is useful especially when group converting files so that their names differ. The final renaming result will appear near the output name lettering.
- There is another block of parameters - "Extract images". It is used to extract pictures from the source PDF to a separate directory. To use this option, click the name of the block. By default, the destination directory will be sent pictures, is "My Documents" of your profile. If you need to change it, then click on the field and in the listing list, select "Review ...".
- The folder overview means will appear. Indicate in it the area where you want to store pictures and click OK.
- The name of the directory will appear in the "Destination Folder" field. To unload in her pictures, it is enough to click "Extract Images".
- Now that all settings are specified, you can move to the reformatting procedure. To activate it, click "Start!".
- The transformation procedure has been launched. The dynamics of its passage can be judged according to data that are displayed in the area for previewing percentage.
- At the end of this process, the window pops up, which communicates with the successful completion of reformatting. You can visit the catalog of finding the received EPUB. Click "Rev. folder. "
- The "Explorer" opens in the folder you need, where it contains the converted EPUB. Now it can be transferred from here to a mobile device, read directly from the computer or perform other manipulations.
This method of conversion is quite convenient, as it allows you to simultaneously transform a large number of objects and allows the user to assign a folder to the storage folder after conversion. The chief "minus" consists in paying AVS.
Method 3: Factory Formats
Another converter who knows how to perform actions for a given direction, is called a format factory.
- Open the format factory. Click on the name "Document".
- In the list of icons, choose "Epub".
- The conversion condition window is activated to the assigned format. First of all, you need to specify the PDF. Click "Add File".
- A window for adding a standard form appears. Find the PDF storage area, check this file and click Open. You can simultaneously select a group of objects.
- The name of the selected documents and the path to each of them will appear in the shell of the transformation parameters. The directory where the converted material goes after completing the procedure, is displayed in the "End Folder" element. Usually, this is the area where the last time conversion was made. If you wish to change it, then click "Change".
- Overview of folders opens. After detecting the target directory, make it allocation and click "OK".
- The new path will be displayed in the "End Folder" element. Actually, on this all conditions can be considered specified. Click "OK".
- Return to the main converter window. As you can see the task of transforming the PDF document in Epub appeared in the conversion list. To activate the process, mark this list of the list and click "Start".
- The conversion process occurs, the dynamics of which is indicated simultaneously in graphical and percentage in the column "state".
- The completion of the action in the same graph is indicated by the appearance of the value "executed".
- To visit the location of the received EPUB, designate the name of the task in the list and click "End Folder".
There is also another embodiment of this transition. Right-click on the task name. In the list of the list, select "Open the final folder".
- After the execution of one of the named steps immediately in the "Explorer" the directory where the EPUB is placed. In the future, the User can apply any provided actions with the specified object.
This conversion method is free, as well as the use of Calibar, but at the same time it allows you to accurately specify the destination folder, as in AVS a converter. But according to the possibilities of specifying the parameters of the outgoing EPUB, the format factory is significantly inferior to Calibre.
There are a number of converters that allow you to reformat the PDF document into the EPUB format. It is quite difficult to determine the best of them, since each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. But you can choose the appropriate option to solve a specific task. For example, to create a book with the most precisely specified parameters of most of the listed applications, Calibar is suitable. If you need to set the location of the outgoing file, but it takes little configuration, then you can apply AVS Converter or Format Factory. The last option is even preferable, since it does not provide for payment for its use.
