Converting txt, pdf to epub
I have just finished entering my ebook collection into Calibre 3.8. Can anyone please show me how to stop Calibre from breaking the text (almost) at the end of every sentence (actually every second line)? Can't I have it convert the text as it appears in the original txt or pdf (complete paragraphs)?

You should start by reading this sticky post titled, "Read this before Posting PDF Questions" located at the top of the conversion forum. Bottom line is many PDFs suck as a source for converting to epub because they are not a reflowable format, they are a print format. To convert txt you simply have to play with the txt input settings (see attached) during conversion. Specifically the structure section. These often need to be manually entered because auto doesn't always work. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 09-24-2017 at 04:10 AM. |

The tips posted so far are aimed at aiding calibre in the task of making continuous text out of the broken pieces in the original while not merging all pieces into a single long text block. They adjust calibre's decision making when it sorts out which pieces need to be assembled and which need to be left separate. |
