Couple of newbie questions (text cut off, wrong fonts)

Shohreh · Today, 09:29 AM

Hello,

To make them more readable, I'm trying to replace fonts in PDFs from serif to serif.

After running pdf2html and editing the file in the latest (2.3.0) release of Sigil, the EPUB I get has two issues:
1. The text is cut off on the right

2. It still uses serif instead of sans serif

Code:

.ft0{font: 14px 'Verdana';line-height: 21px;}

Any idea why?

Thank you.

My guess is the pdf to html tool created a fixed layout file, where css provides the exact location of each word start or even each character. It is non-reflowable. There is no good reason to create fixed layout epubs/html as pdf handles fixed layout better.

Does your pdf to html tool have an option to create a reflowable html file?
