Formula & methodology

PDF to EPUB: extract text with position data, reconstruct paragraph and heading hierarchy from font sizes and positions. EPUB structure: ZIP archive containing HTML, CSS, OPF metadata, NCX/NAV navigation. Text reflow: remove fixed-position coordinates, let HTML/CSS control layout. Images: extracted and embedded in EPUB. Tables: converted to HTML tables.

Frequently asked questions

No — EPUB is a reflowable format, so the exact visual layout (precise positioning, columns, custom margins) is not preserved. Text will reflow to fit the screen. Headings, paragraphs, and basic formatting are preserved. Complex layouts (multi-column, complex tables, technical diagrams) may not convert well. For design-critical documents, PDFs are better. EPUBs excel for text-heavy reading content.
Kindles natively support MOBI/AZW format, not EPUB. Convert EPUB to MOBI using Calibre (free desktop app) or use Amazon's Send to Kindle service which accepts EPUB. Recent Kindles (2022+) added native EPUB support. For iPad/iPhone, Apple Books opens EPUB natively. For Android, use Google Play Books or Moon+ Reader. For desktop, Calibre or Adobe Digital Editions reads EPUB.
