Did you ask how the PDF was generated in the first place?

As far as I know, asciidoc related tools wont work for unicode text.

We get the html file from pressbooks.com as
https://ia801504.us.archive.org/29/items/ManaosaiShortStories/Manaosai-short-stories.html

looking for a solution to convert this to A4 pdf and B7 size( 6 inch,
9cm x 12 cm) via command line.

Nice.

Pressbooks is not giving Tex kind of output.
But it gives a xhtml file.

See a sample here :
https://ia801504.us.archive.org/29/items/ManaosaiShortStories/Manaosai-short-stories.html

Is it possible to convert this file to A4 pdf and 6 inch PDF (9cm x 12 cm)
automatically ?

Thanks.

You are confusing content and presentation.

I already mentioned this to you earlier [1] that you need to get the
content in plain text format. Later, you have the option of generating
the book in any format for any medium.

Converting to a specific format may or may not fully solve your
current problem, but, it will not scale!
