Converting .prc files to .pdf
Is there any way to do this? I realize from looking around that it's not a popular choice, but I like my current way of doing things (Skim for notes, devonthink for organizing--on a mac).
If not, can I convert to .pdf from any of the formats Calibre will convert .prc files to? Cheers, Patrick p.s. the .prc/mobipocket file does not have DRM and is read by Calibre without any problems. |

Mobipocket, MS Reader BBeB (LRF) cannot be printed using the default programs for displaying them. Maybe give FBReader or uBook a try and see if they can handle any of these formats and print them.

I have never tried this, but I guess I would use Calibre to convert to LRF and then LRFTools (LRFTools. Convert LRF to EPUB, HTML, PDF and RTF).
In principle, MOBI is a single-file HTML that should be easy to convert to PDF with any number of tools. It has a few MOBI-specific tags though. If you want to try the direct approach, use the Calibre's command line command mobi2oeb to explode the MOBI to HTML+Images and then convert the HTML to PDF (I would use OpenWindows to allow customization). |
