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.

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
kevin cable

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?

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.

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".

From PDF to ePub

Hi everybody!
I was wondering if now, February 2011, there's a tool which can convert PDF files into ePub format without all the mess caused by, e.g., Calibre.
Thank you very much!

PDF to epub

I have some issue when convert .PDF to ePub,when I sync to my iPad there're some white blank pages. How do I delete those pages?

Converting PDF to epub can be a painful task. Depending on your conversion tool(s), you might try to tweak with different settings. To get a perfect epub, you should export the pdf to rtf or word.doc, then open and edit it with a text processor. Acrobat generates a lot of different style formats, so you have to clean them up and remove blank pages.
Often, you have to deal with page numbers, that are unwanted in eBooks. There is a free tool called 'briss' available on the web, that lets you crop the pages within the pdf file, so you can cut off the area with the page numbers before you export the file.
My preferred text processor ist Atlantis, that lets you save a text document directly as epub file. A direct converter from pdf to epub is Calibre, that also has a lot of converter options. However, without manual rework, the result might not be satisfactoring.
A tool that lets you directly edit epub files is Sigil - however it is very cumbersome and slow.

I successfully convert a pdf into ePub and it can be read by iBooks. However on second run, all my converted epubs are not readable in iBooks! What went wrong?

I used Xilisoft PDF to EPUB Converter 1.0.4 by the way. I will understand if none of them is not working, but what really puzzled me is the fact the first conversion works, but not the rest. I had check all the settings, all the same.

True to that, I was not bothered until I realised my both pdf shelf is terribly cluttered while the Books shelf are empty, so I was thinking to put Western comics in the PDF shelf while the Japanese comics in Books shelf.
I finally decided to post questions here after I went through researches on troubles with epubs which sometimes are malfunction due to wrong coding of the epubs and itunes/ipad will not read those certain codes. I was very curious on that.

Does Adobe have a product to convert PDF to Digital Brochure - HTML5 I believe. Not EPUB because this takes specific software to open.

Does Adobe have a product to convert PDF to Digital Brochure - HTML5 I believe. Not EPUB because this takes specific software to open.

Possibly naïve in terms of the skills required in what your talking about, but what I’m referring to is done by literally dozens of software companies and is commonly referred to as a digital brochure. Here are a few:
www.epageview.com<http://www.epageview.com>
www.inhousedigitalpublishing.com<http://www.inhousedigitalpublishing.com>
www.digital-brochure.com<http://www.digital-brochure.com>

So what I’m looking for is an Adobe solution similar to these solutions.

Pdf to ePub, What program should I use?

I know I can export from InDesign to ePub, but I was handed a .pdf that is 60+ pages and they want it converted to an ePub.
Can this be done with InDesign or some other Adobe program? I am ussing the Creative Suite.

Douglas,
It's nice to see you're interested in this.
A different thread popped up the other day (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5565092#5565092) where the person posting wanted something that would be EXACTLY a fixed layout ePub and wanted to know if ID would be right.
Notice down the thread where he is worried that his panels might change position.

Indesign CS5 crashes trying to export from PDF to epub

I am trying to use Export for command to send a pdf file placed into In Design to epub format.
The program crashes immeadiately.
The PDF is 120 pp and includes a TOC. The OS is Win 7 Pro.

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you thinking that this PDF will be converted to an EPUB with live text?
It won’t. You will have an epub with 120 JPG images and no TOC at all.
I don’t know why it’s crashing but it doesn’t matter anyway since, I imagine, you are under the false impression that you will get a functional epub doing this.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

Need to convert pdf to word

need to convert pdf to word

Hi gurpreetkhalsa,
To convert a PDF file to Word format, you need ExportPDF, Adobe PDF Pack, or Acrobat. Which option you choose depends on whether you need additional features--ExportPDF is the most basic option, and offers the ability to convert to Word, Excel, or RTF.

Need to Convert PDF to doc in Russian, why programm do not recognice it?

Need to Convert PDF to doc in Russian, why programm do not recognice it?

Hi alsu22,
The OCR system that converts documents does not recognize any cyrillic languages, such as Russian. If the text is already renderable (selectable), you may want to try converting your document without the OCR function enabled. You can find steps here: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3062

HELP ME or REFUND me the money

"an error message" really doesn't tell us much.

Any way to help me convert PDF format to word(.doc) on Mac

Hi,guys.Is there any one tell me how to convert PDF to word on Mac?
I am a middle school teacher.Recently I have a download some PDF file need to transfer to word as material for my working.As I use Mac OS has been doubly difficult for me,beacuse I am not familiar with mac system.
So any idea helpfully would be appreciated.

There is a very simple method and doesn't require new software.
Open a new Word document
Open the PDF in Preview (i.e., double click or right click and open with ... Preview)
Using the TEXT tool (button labeled "A') highlight the text you want to copy, then copy (i.e. Edit ... Copy, or right click .... Copy, or Command+C)
Paste the text into a Word document, and it will be editable.
If you want to copy the entire contents, you can use Command+A to select all contents, then copy and paste to Word document.
Preview actually works much better than Acrobat Professional in this respect because you don't carry over junk code from PDF.
