Limitations on conversion from PDF

It is not always possible to convert a PDF file to FB2 correctly, for example, if your PDF file is password protected or consists of pictures. In this case, we do not recommend you to use the FB2 converter, because... the result may not be of very high quality. But if you came across a book or some document in PDF, then you can use our converter without any problems.

Most books and magazines on the Internet can be downloaded from PDF– a universal format that can be opened on any computer device, in any desktop operating system, even with a regular browser. Format PDF allows you to create in electronic form an exact copy of a real book with typographic design and illustrations. Book material in PDF- the document, if desired by the author, can be protected from copying.

And here are the files in e-book formats FB2 or ePub posted on the Internet less frequently.

1. PDF vs FB2 and ePub

Despite the versatility of PDF, it is inferior in ease of use to FB2 or ePub formats. Thus, the latter are more functional and lighter compared to PDF. Some mobile devices can only support reading e-books in ePub format, and cannot play PDF or any other document formats. Users of budget readers with a weak processor may encounter problems reading e-books in PDF. These may support PDF playback according to the technical specifications, but in practice the work will be impossible due to constant signing and slowdowns. What about budget readers? A PDF document with more than 500 pages can freeze even on a computer if it has weak hardware.

Not all software readers can handle PDF. For example, functional Windows readers CoolReader And ICE Book Reader, which support the ability to read text into a computer voice using voice engines, work only with text formats.

Both FB2 and ePub are e-book formats

These are compact text files with markup and structure. The presence of a table of contents and the ability to jump to the necessary chapters are important advantages of FB2 and ePub books over PDF documents. The ePub format is heavier than FB2 because it supports complex layout and illustration with higher quality images. While FB2 is lighter, it also displays illustration materials in worse quality. The two formats also differ in their copy protection. If materials in FB2 books can be copied without any obstacles, then ePub books can be protected from copying. The ePub format is common in Western countries. For a long time he was not known on the Runet, and even now he cannot be called popular. Of these two formats, most of the books in Russian are presented in FB2.

If there is an interesting book in a PDF file, this does not mean that it cannot be read using a reader that only works with e-book formats. The PDF file can be converted to FB2 or ePub. Below we will look at three ways to do this.

1. Web service Online-Convert.Com

Online-Convert.Com (http://www.online-convert.com/ru) is not the only web service that offers online conversion of files from one format to another, but it was chosen because of its popularity and usability. The site has a Russified and understandable interface, and converting files using it is quite simple. On the main page, select a section "E-book converter", set the output format - FB2 or ePub- and press the button "Begin".

Next, we upload the original one to the service server PDF file or indicate its address if it is posted on the Internet. If necessary, we change the title of the e-book or its author, and we can also set additional conversion settings. Click "Convert".

If you are converting a large file, you can enter your email address, where you will receive a link to download the file in the output format after the conversion process is completed.

Small PDF files are converted quickly: within a couple of seconds after uploading the PDF file to the server, we can download the output FB2 or ePub file.

At first glance, web services may seem like the easiest way to convert some formats to others, since there is no need to bother installing programs on your computer. At the same time, working with converting files using a web service can take a long time due to the existence of a queue.

A few more disadvantages of working with Online-Convert.Com: in the output FB2 and ePub files, as a rule, there is no table of contents of books, not every conversion process can be completed successfully, and the free use of the web service is conditional. So, without a paid subscription you can only convert PDF files whose weight does not exceed 100 MB.

Not all pages can be translated into text format; images of pages may appear in separate pieces in books every now and then. Even the Caliber program will not always be able to generate a table of contents in FB2 format e-books.

FB2 is an extremely popular format, and most often you can find e-books in it. There are special reader applications that provide not only support for this format, but also the convenience of displaying content. It is logical, because many are accustomed to reading not only on a computer screen, but also on mobile devices.

No matter how cool, convenient and widespread FB2 is, the main software solution for creating and storing text data still remains Microsoft Word and its standard DOC and DOCX formats. In addition, many e-books are still distributed there the old fashioned way.

You can open such a file on any computer with Office installed, but it won’t look very convenient for reading, and not every user will want to bother with changing the text formatting. It is for this reason that the need to translate a Word document into FB2 is so urgent. Actually, we will tell you how to do this below.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to convert a DOCX document to FB2 using the standard tools of the Microsoft Word text editor. To solve this problem you will have to resort to using third-party software, namely . This is not the most popular program, but for our purposes its functionality is more than enough.

Despite the fact that the installation file takes up less than 1 MB, the characteristics of the application are pleasantly surprising. You can familiarize yourself with them below; you can download this converter on the official website of its developer.

1. After downloading the archive, unpack it using the archiver installed on your computer. If there is none, choose the appropriate one from our articles. We recommend using one of the best solutions for working with archives - the WinZip program.

2. Extract the contents of the archive to a convenient location on your hard drive, place all files in one folder. Once done, run the executable file.

3. After launching the program, open the Word document that you want to convert to FB2. To do this, click the button in the form of a folder on the toolbar.

4. After specifying the path to the file, open it by clicking "Open", the text document will be opened (but not displayed) in the program interface. The top window will simply indicate the path to it.

5. Now click the button "File" and select "Convert". As can be seen from the tooltip next to this item, you can start the conversion process using the key "F9".

6. Wait for the process to complete, a window will appear in which you can set a name for the converted FB2 file and save it to your computer.

Note: By default, the program saves converted files to a standard folder "Documentation", and by packing them into a ZIP archive.

7. Go to the folder with the archive that contains the FB2 file, extract it and run it in a reader program, for example, the capabilities of which you can familiarize yourself with on our website.

As you can see, a text document in FB2 format looks much more readable than in Word, especially since you can open this file on a mobile device. The same FBReader has an application for almost all desktop and mobile platforms.

This is just one of the possible options that allows you to convert a Word document to FB2. For those users who for some reason are not satisfied with this method, we have prepared another one, which will be discussed below.

Using an online converter

There are quite a few resources that allow you to convert files from one format to another online. The Word direction we need in FB2 is also present on some of them. So that you don’t have to search for a suitable, proven site for a long time, we have already done this for you and offer as many as three online converters to choose from.

Let's look at the conversion process using the last (third) site as an example.

1. Select the Word file that you want to convert to FB2 by specifying the path to it on your computer and opening it in the site interface.

Note: This resource also allows you to specify a link to a text file if it is posted on the web, or download a document from popular cloud storages - Dropbox and Google Drive.

2. In the next window you need to configure the conversion settings:

• Paragraph “Program for reading a received e-book” We recommend leaving it unchanged;
• If necessary, change the file name, author, and margin sizes;
• Parameter "Change initial file encoding" It's better to leave it as it is - "Auto-detection".

3. Press the button "Convert file" and wait for the process to complete.

Note: The download of the converted file will start automatically, so simply specify the path to save it and click "Save".

Now you can open the FB2 file obtained from a Word document in any program that supports this format.

That’s all, as you can see, converting Word to FB2 format is not at all difficult. Just choose the appropriate method and use it, whether it is a converter program or an online resource is up to you.
