Auto Convert Issue

wolfskies · 09-27-2017, 09:19 PM

I am having problems with the auto convert feature. I usually end up downloading epubs, but most of the places I read, I have to have PDF. So I set it to auto convert any imported file to PDF. Problem is, it doesn't always do so. I then have to go back and manually bulk convert them. Is there a better way to do this?

If you can isolate some steps to reproduce the issue I'lls ee if I can fix it. As far as I can see, auto convert always converts, provided that the target format is not already present.

And you dont need to bulk convert everything, simply search for

not formats:PDF

and only convert those.
