Epub conversion to pdf

Post by Sook »

Hi there,

My Epub consists of different folders, some containing embedded videos, quiz, etc. How do I get this converted to pdf, as pdf do not include the embedded objects. I have looked through the user guide, and could not get information on this. Much thanks and hear from you...

Hello,

Oxygen does not provide a direct (automatic) conversion from EPUB to PDF.
You would have to manually copy the HTML content from each chapter of the EPUB and paste it in an XML document (DocBook or DITA) that can then be transformed to PDF. The embedded images and videos further complicate things. This is not a trivial task, so I cannot really recommend doing this with Oxygen, if you need the content just in PDF format. If you need it in several output formats (PDF, WebHelp, HTML/XHTML), then it may be worth it.

Regards,
Adrian
