Keep the reading order
PDF Craft processes page layout to recover paragraphs and reading order, including multi-column documents. Check complex layouts and page transitions after conversion.
Handle formulas, tables, and footnotes
PDF Craft recognizes formulas, tables, and footnotes as part of document processing. Check mathematical notation, table structure, and note references against the original, especially on complex pages.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a PDF that contains only scanned images?
Yes. OCR recovers text from page images before producing the EPUB. Recognition depends on scan quality, language, and layout.
Will the EPUB contain text or just pictures of the pages?
The goal is a text-based EPUB that can reflow in your reader, rather than a book made only of full-page images. Figures and other visual content may remain images.
What happens to footnotes, formulas, and tables?
PDF Craft processes these structures during recognition. Complex notation, tables, and note references need review in the finished EPUB.
Can I convert a scanned book with multiple columns?
PDF Craft analyzes page layout to recover reading order. Check column transitions, captions, and content that continues across pages.
Should I choose EPUB or Markdown?
Choose EPUB for continued reading in an ebook reader. Choose Markdown when you want to edit, quote, or organize the extracted content. See PDF to Markdown.
How much does conversion cost?
New users receive trial credits. Conversion is charged by usage. See Pricing for current rates.
