Frequently Asked Questions
Are chapters preserved as bookmarks?
Yes — the EPUB's table of contents becomes PDF bookmarks (outline) in the output.
What page size is used?
A sensible default of 6"x9" is used to match trade-paperback dimensions. Custom sizes are on the roadmap.
Are images embedded?
Yes — all EPUB images are embedded in the PDF at their original resolution.
