Convert Oeb to EPub

Hi,
I work for a big publisher that made a large number of Oeb files (OEBPS 1.x packages) with conversion service companies. We also made thousands of PDF's, mostly with Distiller. Is there a way to automatically convert either of these formats to EPub for Adobe Digital Editions?
While I'm here, I'd say maybe 10 to 15% of our books are made with InDesign. Probably 80 to 85% are Quark and 5% are made with other software. These are my very rought estimates. The percentage of InDesign is increasing rapidly. Although doing it from InDesign is fast and easy, I guess I should ask this. Is there a way to automate making the InDesign files into EPub?

Don,
Those are questions I cannot answer...
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishing/ has a 'developer center feedback' form that will get you to the right people to deal with these kind of SDK oriented questions.

Converting PDF to EPUB with lots of images

Greetings everyone,
I am rather new to indesign and e-publishing and trying to get a handle on how to do this properly. I am a professional photographer with years of work and have decided to create a few photo e-books. Not actually how to, but beauty, something like a coffe table photo essay, photo story book. You get the idea, mainly photos and very little text. So here I am looking to make a ebook without lots of text. I guess mainly the opposite of what most ebooks are? I have created a few of them in indesign cs6 as a pdf and they look great ! I have tried to convert them to epub and what text I do have and or backgrounds go all over the place! obviously i'm doing something wrong! Looking for some guidence on how to make this work? I have worked with photoshop, premier, after effects since day one of their creation so i do have somewhat of knowledge in adobe but not for this... thanks !!!
sincerely

Hi laras54426173,
Are you converting via Adobe Reader or the web interface? Do you see the JPEG option when you're logged on to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf?

Can I convert a purchased epub doc to pdf form for commenting?

I bought a book with the purpose of commenting/highlighting on a large-screen PC rather than a tablet. The sample it allowed me to download was in PDF form, & allowed me to highlight & comment, so I went ahead & bought it.
However, the purchased product is in ePub format, and does not allow commenting & highlighting. Is there a way I can convert from ePub to PDF so I can achieve my original purpose? (I doubt I'll get a refund....)

Try emptying the Temp folder. Are you using PDF Maker (not sure that is available for Publisher) or the MS plugin? If PDF Maker, try turning off the tags and reducing the amount of bookmarks needed to a minimum. As an alternative, simply print to the Adobe PDF printer -- will typically give a smaller file and not run into these creation problems for large document, but you will not get bookmarks or such in the conversion process.

Convert PDF to Epub for mac,What can I do?

Hello,here.
I have bought a computer in the second-hand market,it is a really good computer.But here is a problem I can't handle.
It is running the MAC system,but I am not familiar with mac.So when I want to convert novels download from Internet with PDF format to Epub,I don't know how to do it.
Any help?

Calibre is a great application for organizing your eBooks. It can automatically sort your books by their metadata, and even display their covers in a Coverflow-style viewer.
Calibri makes it simple to read your eBooks in any format you need. It is a project that is in constant development, and updates regularly adding better stability and features. Whether you want to ready your PDF eBooks on a Sony Reader, Kindle, netbook or Smartphone, your books will now be more accessible than ever. And with thousands of free PDF eBooks out there, you’ll be sure to always have something to read. But first, you'd better understand the difference between: PDF, ePub and iBook. I have a cookbook that is in pdf format with all the links between recipes and index/contents done. As there are 275 recipes, this took a lot of work.

Convert pdf to epub

Trying to convert a pdf file to ePub to read on iPad and eventually upload to the Apple store. I have tried Calibre, Wondershare (paid version) and pdf to epub converter. I also have the native inDesign file used to create the pdf and tried exporting it as an ePub file. Of course it worked but when viewed on the iPad, the formatting was off. Every ePub file I have created has had formatting issues when viewed on the iPad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

What George said is right, you will get much better results from ID > EPUB if you prep the file a bilt in ID, and if you make some tweaks in the resulting EPUB files.
In addition to Liz's boks, you might check out the video tutorials I've done on lynda.com for this, called InDesign CS to ePub and the iPad. There are 3 diff. titles, one each for InDesign CS4, CS5, and CS.5. Working on another for CS6. Here's the link to the CS5.5 one: http://j.mp/lynda_cs55epub
it's a subscription site ($25 for a month) but each of the titles has some free sample videos. Or you can get a free week's trial of the entire site: http://lynda.com/freepass/amconcepcion
Another good place to ask InDesign > EPUB questions (or any epub question) is on Twitter with the #eprdctn hash tag; ebook production folk use that tag. Not sure if you're into Twitter or not, but it's worth it for that alone.

PDF in Pages convert to ePub

Hi all
I have a problem with Pages (version 4.0.5) and uploading my ebook to Apple's iBookstore.
Apple says that PDF can be used with Pages 4.0.5 and used as an ePub. Doesn't give any example of this.
I have written a 112 page book using the DTP mode of Pages. Output it as a PDF and transferred it to my iPad. Works fine.
Tried to upload it to Apple and I can't select the file as a PDF in iTunes producer. Change the .PDF to .pub and it's icon changes to a . pub doc, I can now select the file but it doesn't upload. The error is: that the file contains more than one resource and lots of xml references.
What's the score with Pages, DTP mode, PDF and ePub? I also tried exporting to PDF but no luck.
I need to use PDF because there are lots of large pictures and the pictures are more important that the text.
Steve

I don't know anything about submitting a pdf to the iBookstore, but you cannot convert one format to another by just changing the filename extension. Converting pdf to epub is not recommended even if you want to go through the proper procedures for doing that, because the results can be very poor. Instead you would compose in Pages and then File > Export > ePub.

Convert pages document to epub document

Prior to Lion I was able to convert a Pages document to an epub book quite simply. The option to convert to an epub book is no longer available. I see that I am supposed to be able to do this with automator. I do not understand why such a simple process was deleted from my Pages software and requires me to do something complicated. Any suggestions?

I am able to do it in Pages, and I do have Lion.
I just use menu File > Export > ePub
I never upgraded my Pages when I moved to Lion, because I don't like the implementation of Versions.
Did they really also eliminate the export to ePub, too? That's a shame.

How to convert mobi books to ePub format?

Hello, I have a question for help here, I have a lot of .mobi books on my computer, I wanna transfer these mobi books to my iPhone and iPad for reading, but I found they doesn't accept mobi format, I tried many ways to convert mobi to ePub but failed, the quality of the output ePub file is so bad, unable to read. pleae help! Is there any software can convert hundreds of .mobi files to ePub format with high quality? Don't give me calibre, it keep crashed in my windows 8, and the it is not easy to use, waste of my time.

And, what did I say? Asnlinkda asked how to convert a mobi book into an epub book (not how to convert an epub in a mobi). I said him that he should use some thid party app (that produces epub books) and if it's necessary, to polish the resulting book mobi to ePub converter. I also say that he could use mobi to ePub converter but that I prefer to use the first method. So, I say that is preferable to use (if it were necessary)
The way I go from Mobi > ePub is to use Vibosoft ePub creator or iStonsoft mobi to epub converter to convert, use Modify ePub to put in the cover and then use Sigil to rename the files and clean up the code/CSS. I find that's the easiest way to do it.

DJVU to EPUB converter for Windows 7

Hello,
I just bought an iPad mini and want to read books from it.
I need a converter (DJVU to EPUB) in order to convert my existing library.
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit OS.
Thanks for suggestions.

Do your DJVU files have embedded text? If so, Calibre is supposed to work.
Have you already tried various online conversion tools which google throws up?

HT5071 EPUB converter other than Calibre?

Hello,
I want to get my work published on iBook but I'm having difficulties in delivering my package on iTunes Producer since it's not accepting the epub file I used from Calibre. The original file is PDF and I've converted it to EPUB on Calibre. I've read that the EPUB format from Calibre is not compatible with iBooks as you can see I'm getting 3 errors:
1. Apple's web service opration was not successful
2. Unable to authenticate the package: Clouds_2004.itmsp
3. ERROR ITMS-9000: "Clouds_2004.epub: resource OPS/Fonts/EmbedFont.ttf is missing" at Book (MZltmspBookPackage)
Can anyone suggest an alternative converter or how to work around it?
Thanks!

Converting to Epub format

Hi,
I am preparing to publish my book on iBooks. What I wrote is on Word documents and also on PDFs. Converting them to Epub was so expensive to outsource so I want to try it myself.
My question is, what is the best Epub software can use on my Mac? There are some options on the Mac app store but I wasn't sure which one is a complete package for someone who will publish a book on iBooks.
I would appreciate your help for finding a sofware that can achieve everything needed for iBook standards.
Thanks

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply. So if I buy Pages is it going to provide everything needed to publish a book on iBook Store? e.g. Am I going to be able create an ePub file with my book cover on it?
If you say that a casual user like me can handle Pages for this task it would be great as it is not that expensive.
I know Indesign, it is very expensive and professional, dont think it would be suitable for me.
One last thing: If I use iBooks Author than I had to publish my book ONLY in the iBook store, right? I guess that is why you did not recomment it to me.
Thank you.

Converting from .acsm to epub using ADE 3

I have updated to ADE 3 and have had nothing but problems. The latest problem is When trying to convert an ascm file from Kobo, the Digital Editions does not launch to convert to an epub. I wish I could go back to my old version of ADE but no luck.

It doesn't change the original file - it creates a new file in the new format. Check where your file destination is set to in the Audio Converter screen.

How do I publish my professionally converted ePUB book?

How do I publish my ePUB book onto the Apple Bookstore from the UK? From what I've read so far I think I need to have a Preview / sample as the book will need to be purchased, but because the book is professionally converted into an ePub file by a specialist company (to ensure there was no problem with downloading it when people purchase it), I can't change it or take bits out of it as sample chapters etc. What should I do?
Thanks,
iGwyn

You will have to recreate your book in the epub format for reading in iphones. The Apple app for that is Pages.

Pdf to epub converter

Can anyone suggest me "how to convert the pdf into epub."

you want to convert PDF to ePub?
I've downloaded an all-powerful converter.
It can convert formats between PDF, Mobi, ePub.
Honestly speaking, how the output file displays is determined by the PDF files, if the PDF's structure is complete and right, the output file will looks perfect.
Now back to the software, you can download it here, the eBook converter is called "Epub Converter".

How do I change the way the title/author appear and is there any way to remove pages on EPUBs?

Hi all--
I am having a really hard time--I am trying to transfer EPUBs from my Win 7 comp to my Nook Tablet. I bought a lot of books from several non-BN sites because they were lots cheaper and were also sold in bundles--but the site was messed up and sent the books in PDF form rather than EPUB. PDF files won't read like a regular book on my Nook Tablet, so my friend offered to convert them to EPUB for me.
Most of the books turned out fine, but some of them now have a few extra pages at the beginning before the cover image and the correct title and author are not displaying--it seems to instead show the filepath where the file was saved on m friend's computer (C:\My Computer/Documents and Settings...etc.)
So, what I would like to do is be able to edit the EPUB files so I can delete the extra pages at the beginning so the correct cover image will be displayed and to be able to change the file's data sp it will show (and be searchable by) the correct title and author.
I am new to all this, so I appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you SO much for your help!!
--Jamie
P.S. Having the title and author show up correctly so they are searchable and appear in the correct place on my Nook Tablet is the top priority--correct cover pages would be nice aesthitically, but it is not that important.
****ALSO--does anyone know of an app or anything for the Nook Tablet that would allow PDF files to be read just like an EPUB/B&N=purchased book? Currently when I open a PDF, it shows the page in TINY print--you can use pinching to zoom in, but then the file enlarges so it is bigger than the screen, making it very hard to read. I can't figure out any way to enlarge the text but still fits the page like an EPUB does, so I'm wondering if there's an app that would do that--it's hard because you can't try apps before you buy them and I can't teel if they will work from the descriptions.

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.
