longer lines in Calibre ePub to pdf conversions?

grguthrie · 07-29-2024, 02:15 PM

I have an ePub of a document that in the Calibre reader can e-flow to any line length, and thus get more content/page.
The original printed version is ~120 chars/line, but converting from the ePub to pdf in Calibre I only get about 68 characters/line - half the width, and several times the overall page length (999 instead of 466).

Is here some way to convince Calibre to produce longer lines, more like a pdf would be?

Increase the PDF page size.
