Converted to PDF for Scribe, TOC problems
I purchased a study book in epub format, with the goal of converting to PDF, so I could use it on my Scribe. I've done this one time before successfully with a different book.
This book converted ok, and I emailed it to my Scribe, which worked. But the TOC doesn't work correctly. Each chapter link sends to the same page, in this case page 2 of the book. If I view the converted PDF from Calibre it "looks" correct, but again the TOC doesn't work correctly. Is this something I can fix using the Edit Book option? When using the Edit Book button, only epub and azw3 are my options, not PDF. I'm not an advanced user by any means, but would love to be able to figure this out, as it would sure make navigation easier. I'm using the most current version of Calibre on Windows 10, Scribe firmware 5.16.10.0.1 Last edited by Deskisamess; Today at 01:03 PM. |

There have been some recent changes to calibre relating to PDFs; so, you could install an older version of Calibre Portable (e.g 7.10) and try converting the EPUB to PDF with it. Older versions of calibre are at ==>> Previous calibre releases If that works then it's a problem with recent versions of calibre, if it doesn't the problems is in the original EPUB. BR |

I have very little experience using calibre to convert ePub to PDF, but if the ePub ToC is not getting converted it's either a bug or feature request. I think calibre is using system (Windows macOS Linux) built in PDF generation rather than a Python library, which might explain the limitations. I would think there must be other tools that do a good job. Last edited by tomsem; Today at 07:01 PM. |
