PDF – How to Convert a PDF File to ePUB Format Without Using Calibre

ebooksepubpdf

I'll tell you clearly and loudly: I don't like Calibre!
So, how can I convert PDF to ePUB without it?

Best Answer

We know you don't like Calibre... but have you tried its CLI conversion tool?

The Calibre install provides the command ebook-convert that will handle what you want, and there's no need to run Calibre.

ebook-convert file.pdf file.epub

is all that's required.

If the output looks a little wrong - try this

ebook-convert file.pdf file.epub --enable-heuristics

It will try a "smart" way to convert. Not perfect, but can work well in most conversions.
