dodeeric / pdf2epubex Goto Github PK

I don't know whether it is already a feature or not so i made this request. Is there any settings options so that the output EPUB file can have a Table of Contents based on the input PDF file. If there is not, are you planning to implement any feature or setting option like that in future. Thanks for you sharing this wonderful piece of code. It is literally a lifesaver. THANKS

is it possible to use converted PDFs from https://www.willus.com/k2pdfopt/ and make reflowable layout epubs ?

Hello Eric!

I came across your program while searching for a converter from pdf to epub. However, despite my several attempts to convert my file with all available options to run the code, I haven't managed to do this.

1. First, I added the package repository and installed the package with the command

sudo apt install pdf2epubex

Unfortunately, when converting, I got the same error about something being missing.

2. So I moved on to the next option.

I tried to install pdf2epubEX from the deb package, but it failed due to two missing dependencies, namely libfontforge1 and libpoppler58. These packages are absent in the Ubuntu repository. Installing Font Forge and Poppler from other sources didn't help either, apparently because of the difference in package names. I guess that was also the reason for my failures with the first option.

3. Finally, I installed Docker and tried out the image. That's what I got:

 ~/Desktop  sudo docker run -ti --rm -v `pwd`:/pdf dodeeric/pdf2epubex pdf2epubEX.sh test.pdf

Please assist me in this matter. I am very much looking forward to your help.

Here are my specs.

Overwriting does not work properly with option -i of BSD sed (on MacOS).
I think adding option -e will give the desired behavior.

sed -i -e 's/;unicode-bidi:bidi-override//g' base.min.css

Hi, after trying docker run -ti --rm -v pwd:/temp dodeeric/pdf2epubex pdf2epubEX myfile.pdf on mac M1 I got:

docker: invalid reference format: repository name must be lowercase.

Is it possible to set parameters defining the info, which gets asked below?

Add the left side menu (ToC) from the pdf2htmlEX browser reader into the nav.xhtml file (ToC of the ePub book).

Isn't the option you give to pdf2htmlEX, not ---dpi but ---hdpi and ---vdpi?

cf. https://github.com/pdf2htmlEX/pdf2htmlEX/wiki/Command-Line-Options

My PDF (produced in LaTex) has a TOC and many internal crossref links. Is there anyway to import/enable these in the converted epub? I know Kindle Create has such an option. It would be great if we can create epubs like Kindle ebooks.

Please check the sample pdf and outpur epub file. It didnt convert properly.

Caution:
- if you chose png or jpg (bitmap formats), the vector images will be converted in bitmap images (rasterized).
- if you chose svg (vector and bitmap format), the vector images will remain in vector format, but: a) you cannot chose the resolution of the bitmap images (it is the one from the PDF); b) the bitmap images will be included in the svg files (Base64 coded); c) this format is not always correctly rendered by eBook readers; d) the generated epub file is not always passing the epub check.

Hi,

I think it would benefit the publishing community which requires read-aloud fixed layout epub files where each word gets highlighted as it is spoken in its audio file. In the SMIL file of the read-aloud ePub 3.0 file we have to give the ID of each word to be highlighted.
So, as a feature enhancement, could your tool output the XHTML file in such a way that each word appears in a span with a unique ID. Currently your tool outputs the XHTML file with the text sentence/Line format.

Thanks

Hi
I went through all the steps and got these error messages:
pdf2htmlEX version: 0.18.8.rc2
Error when parsing the arguments:
Invalid argument: --page-filename

I have correctly specified the path to my file and mapped it to the /temp directory inside the Docker container.
Kindly advise. Thanks
