Ireally hate .epub format. I have tried several online and downloaded tools to convert some .epub books I have to PDF, but it still is unsatisfactory as the original page breaks are not preserved and the formatting always messes up, text is too big, fonts are lost, colors missing, graphics poorly preserve and sometimes fall on a page break, special symbols and non-English alphabets look like a botched OCR job, random chunks of text are inserted, etc. I have tried Calibre, Epubor, Zanzar, etc. The output always seems unusable.

My question: .epub files preserve the original page break locations, if I am not mistaken. Is there any .epub to .pdf converter that can simply break the PDF pages where the original print book broke the pages, and resize the text and graphics to fit (I am assuming .epub does NOT preserve the original text size data?). I want a PDF which looks as close to the original print book as possible, pulling upon any data which a .epub file might store about the original print book. I already have a .epub file, so I would rather not manually scan the entire book and compile to a PDF, if at all possible.


EDIT: I have tried numerous .epub readers and Adobe Digital Editions, Sumatra PDF, and Calibre are the best I have tried by a longshot. However, only Calibre seems able to print those .epubs to a .pdf, or print .epubs at all! One big problem I have is that large images that take a whole page in the print book are broken down into chunks in the eBook, regardless of the font and margin size, even when the larger image would fit on screen! one! two! Same deal across e-readers.


I have now experimented with numerous, numerous tools to convert epub to pdf, but none do what I was hoping to accomplish. I have also experimented with numerous e-readers in general, hoping to display my files as I wanted them and then "print" them directly to a software pdf printer. The newest version of calibre's e-book reader allows printing directly to PDF. Unfortunately, those pdfs do not resemble the text as you are viewing it in the e-reader window. Regardless of the font size of the e-reader text, the pdf is built using font sizes specified elsewhere. This would be a suggestion for future releases of calibre to implement: print as-you-see-it from the e-reader window.


Of the various e-readers I used, epubreader extension for firefox is by far the best and most stable (calibre used up all 2GB of my ram before hanging and crashing multiple times). The display settings of epubreader allow great flexibility for displaying the text "as defined by the book settings," although the e-book settings do not always perfectly preserve the exact appearance of the print book. For all of its strengths, however, epubreader does not seem able to print to a pdf or to print from firefox at all. When I contacted support, I was referred to calibre.


As it stands, calibre is still the tool that comes closest to accomplishing my original goals. Hopefully future releases of calibre or epubreader will implement a print-as-you-see it option, allowing their ebook readers to double up as a live "print preview." Until then, I will have to make do with editing the epub raw data with calibre epub editor, and/ or building dozens of pdf books before I find the most acceptable settings for producing a suitable pdf.


I'm converting my print magazine in a reflowable epub. I created a new document with proper and clean Paragraph and Character Styles, and it's finally coming along. My issue is that I have images that stretches following the width of the device (I test my epub exports on the desktop Calibre application).


I created an Object Style and in the Frame Fitting Options, I chose "Auto-Fit" and "Fit Content to Frame", but it doesn't solve the issue. I also tried with "Fit Content Proportionnaly" but without success. Also, in the Object Export Options, I set the size to Relative to Text Flow.


I honestly don't know what to do and I am getting a bit desperate here. I have been watching so many tutorials on so many different aspects on how to create an accessible EPUB that I'm probably getting confused. I would appreciate any advice and help on this!


Thank you Jadann, I just tried this and it seems to be working! I can't believe I haven't thought of this... Though now I have another issue, which is that the images don't always appear in their full page but they would be cut in half, the top on one page and the bottom on the next page. I did check "insert page break before and after image" so that's another mystery I am gonna try to solve now! Thank you again


Yes, there's a ton of details buried in the EPUB export menu. Selecting FIXED and then working on spot fixes as needed from there is much more stable than the LET KINDLE BE WEIRD setting or whatever it's called.


The collapse of modern societies has already begun. That is the conclusion of two years of research by the interdisciplinary team behind Breaking Together. How did it come to this? Because monetary systems caused us to harm each other and nature to such an extent it broke the foundations of our societies. So what can we do? This book describes people allowing the full pain of our predicament to liberate them into living more courageously and creatively. They demonstrate we can be breaking together, not apart, in this era of collapse. Jem Bendell argues that reclaiming our freedoms is essential to soften the fall and regenerate the natural world. Escaping the efforts of panicking elites, we can advance an ecolibertarian agenda for both politics and practical action in a broken world.

So I was trying to play wow classic, game was stuck on loading the game on login screen ingame, and DCs every time. Go to retail, works fine. Use repair tool on WoW classic, get the whoops something broke error, then try to repair again, same thing. Go to retail and now it is stuck in this loop and cannot play ether or. Tried everything in the book from uninstalling everything literally, disabling security/protection, ran as admin etc.


This specific error and behavior with the Battle.net Desktop App is typically caused by a conflicting third-party program such as an anti-virus, or a corrupted local Battle.net or game files. First, to rule out corrupted Battle.net files on your computer, try re-installing the Battle.net Desktop App with these steps:


I delete anything that is related to battle.net or blizzard in temp folders. For do so, I Pressed win + R and Enter each one of these below and i went to that folder and search for any sign of battle.net or blizzard or blizzard entertainment and delete them:

%PROGRAMDATA%

%TEMP%

%APPDATA%

%LOCALAPPDATA%.

I reinstalled battle.net


I had that same problem 2 months ago, the endless loop of updating and scanning. I totaly reinstalled everything. Now on the new patch, i encounter some problems that every time i drink a flask i need to reload. Very Annoying. I posted a ticket put ill have to wait 2 weeks for sombody answers. (great Service) So i thouth well maybe Sacan and repair helps. Now agian i am in this loop. I deleted the files you suggested( No result). I deleted the 1 Kb Files no result. Uninstall reinstall battle net no result. Since the game is over 81 Gb Installing it every 4 weeks is getting annoying. Idemand some service. I pay money every month and i cant play.
