hi
a question from my side:
what would be the use of an epub import?
i'm asking for a cousin...
I was wondering this too. The point-of-view of a PDF (DTP) and an epub
is so different. The first wants to have a very structured design and
layout, such as Scribus will do, but epubs are very much unstructured,
and how they display depends a lot on the viewer used.
I just tried importing epubs to LibreOffice, and had no success - they
were all said to be "corrupt". You could certainly unzip an epub and
get to the xhtml files and import them into text frames in Scribus.
I suppose I should ask this on a LibreOffice forum, but does the LO
import PDF filter bring in the file as editable text, or as vector
objects? I suspect the latter, and if so, then the best way to get the
PDF into either LO or Scribus and have it editable as text is to copy
and paste from the PDF file.
Hi,
Some additional information: You can use Calibre (Free Software and
cross-platform) to convert ePUB-Files into many formats, including those that
Scribus can import. In the default installation, these are DOCX and RTF (in
Scribus 15.x). If you only need the formatted text, you should use DOCX. If you
also need the included images, you should choose RTF, because the RTF import
filter in Scribus 1.5.x loads pixel graphics interspersed with text quite
accurately. Please note that you need to import the files into a text frame.
There are also many plug-ins available for Calibre and also Sigil, an eBook
editing programme, which provide additional import and export filters.
HTH,
Christoph
