PDF Format

PDF stands for “portable document format”. It was created by Adobe in the early 90’s, and is essentially a fixed, un-editable file that can have images, text, and other graphics. PDFs have gone through many updates and versions, culminating to what they are now. Over the years, PDF as a file format has become increasingly popular, to the point that it was released as an open standard format, no longer belonging to any one company. It is a popular format for web use, and is still used on personal computers. PDFs have become one of the top digital formats, as it provides a great on-screen example of what it would look like as a printed document. Due to a lack of word-wrap, however, they are very difficult to view on portable devices, and some lack compatibility entirely.

The first step to making your PDF material available for mobile viewers is to convert your PDF to ePub. ePub is currently the most common eBook format, but not the only one. Here at 1pdftoepub we not only convert your book from the PDF to ePub but also to other formats such as HTML and .MOBI. When we use our PDF converter, we format your eBook with Digital Rights Management (DRM). This DRM technology protects you and your new eBook from copy right infringement. Your PDF, that was not compatible with portable devices, will not only be available to all digital readers, but also be protected. All due to proper ebook formatting. This now gives your PDF all the benefits of an being a mobile format.
