I have a problem. Please help. When i convert the book some of the words are missing. Should i choose some encryption or what?

[UnrulyGuides]

@InspiRAWtion Is most of the text visible? What text is missing? conversion from PDF is tricky mainly because a PDF is an end-product -- it is not meant to be converted into anything. So you will have issues. You may want to convert it into epub and then use SIGIL to correct issues or missing text that you see so you can view the file.

Great tutorial, thanks! If I wanted a cover image, how would I include it? I have downloaded a couple different books that include cover images with the .pdf but don't know how to go about it.

@bnbmgrdnr converting doesn't always bring in the images -- just the text. If you are missing the cover, then extract the cover from the original PDF using photoshop, and replace it into the file.

I lose all my images on conversion from pdf to prc using Mobi. Is there any way to get them?

[UnrulyGuides]

@swatisinha1980 Not all images get pulled in from the conversion, this may be due to the encryption on the PDF which does not allow it. You may have to open the original PDF in a Photoshop like program and extract them. Then convert the PDF to epub and replace the missing images.

Hi, I have used this soft ware. Thanks for the tutorial. I am having problem with diacritics. When I convert it it comes as a funny character. Any solution you may know of. I have all those font installed in my PC already, just cant understand why it does not work for me. Thanks in advance.
