PDF to EPUB3 Fixed Layout converter

pdf2fxl – A PDF to Fixed Layout EPUB Converter

Prerequisites

1. Poppler, in particular poppler’s pdftohtml binary
2. ImageMagick

Poppler and ImageMagick are available for many package managers, including Cygwin’s. We made sure that the Bash front-end script runs on the Oracle Java for Windows / Cygwin combo. We have also tried to avoid utilities/options such as readlink -f that are known to not work on vanilla Mac OS X / BSD systems. However, we didn’t try it yet on a Mac and we’d like to hear from you whether it’s woking there.

The other prerequisites are Java 1.7 (or newer) and bash.
