Hi James and all, to convert a book from a format to another with the Calibre command line tools, do the following:
1. Open a terminal. 2. Insert the following command to convert a book from one format into another, but be sure to use the right file suffix for the source and destination file. and keep in mind the upper and lower case letters in the command, MacOS isn’t case insensitive in the terminal. The ebook-convert command recognizes the source and destination format via the file suffix which is given in the command. So use the following command to convert an epub file into a pdf: /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-convert file.epub file.pdf To convert a pdf into an epub just tell the command the source and destination format via the file suffixes: /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-convert file.pdf file.epub The source file will not be overwritten and the command examples above will search the source file in your home directory and the destination file will be stored also in the home dir. Ciao and let me know, if it is working or if oyu have problems to execute the command, Christian <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
