EPUB to PDF converter
The EPUB to PDF converter turns a book into a document with fixed pages: chapters, illustrations and the cover stay.
The EPUB to PDF converter makes a fixed-page document out of an e-book: chapter text, illustrations and the cover move into a file that looks the same on any screen and on paper.
What happens when you convert EPUB to PDF
An EPUB adapts to the reading app: the reader picks the font size and page boundaries are recalculated on the fly. That is why a book has no permanent page numbers and you cannot cite a page of it.
A PDF locks the layout down. Pages get numbers, the document can be printed, attached to an application form or quoted by page.
- Chapter text and section order stay as they were.
- Illustrations and the cover come along into the document.
- Lists and tables remain lists and tables.
- The table of contents arrives as a list at the start of the document instead of a reader menu.
- Book styling gets simpler: the publisher's typeface and book margins give way to plain document typography.
- Page numbering is counted anew and will not match the numbers from someone else's reading app.
- A copy-protected book will not open.
When all you need is the text without any styling, run the finished document through the PDF to TXT converter.

Who needs a book as PDF

- Mark the text up with comments in a PDF editor while proofreading.
- Cite page numbers in your notes or in a reference list.
Frequently asked questions
Will the images from the book survive?
Yes. The cover and chapter illustrations move into the PDF together with the text.
Why do the pages look different from my reading app?
The app builds the layout for your screen and font size, while a PDF has it set once for everyone. Page breaks and the typeface will differ, the contents of the book will not.
Can I search and copy the text in the resulting PDF?
Yes, the text stays text: search works, fragments can be copied, and non-Latin alphabets come through intact.
