The document and the intended outcome
An ebook with straightforward chapter text needs a printable reading copy. Convert EPUB and inspect its reading order, chapter boundaries and line wrapping.
Make this example work for your file
For a chapter reference copy, compare the chapter sequence with the EPUB’s reading order. Fixed-page PDF output can introduce new page breaks; it does not retain an e-reader’s flexible font and screen settings.
Choose only the settings this case needs
Use a supported EPUB file and compare a short chapter first. Keep the EPUB for flexible e-reader viewing and the PDF for the chosen fixed-page purpose.
When the example needs a different approach
Inspect the source book’s reading order and the resulting text. A malformed or unusual EPUB may need repair in an ebook editor before conversion.
Check the result
Illustrations and ebook styling are not preserved. Unsupported or protected EPUB files may fail.
Keep the original. When this task produces a file, reopen the download in the application where you will use it and inspect the affected pages. An illustration explains the operation; it is not a recorded processing test.
