As a result, our code should now look like this:

That's it, minor edits to the book in fb2 format can be considered completed. It will open quite correctly on any e-reader. But in order to be able to correctly and beautifully design books in the fb2 format, I would recommend thoroughly studying the specifications of this format. For example, you can use a good description at this link.

Conversionfb2, which was obtained fromdoc inepub

This process is probably the easiest one we've done so far. To complete it successfully, we need the “caliber” program. After downloading and installing, we launch it and add our edited book in fb2 format to it (you can simply drag it into the program window). Our cover and some information about the book will be displayed on the right. In order to get the book in epub format, click the corresponding button at the top.

A large window will open in front of us with numerous settings for the future book and the conversion process. I will not describe them all, I will indicate only those that are required for our task.

In the “Metadata” section we check all the attributes of the book: title, author, genre (notes) and others.

In the “Appearance and Functions” section, in the “Insert font family” item, select exactly the font in which we want the book to be.

In the “Contents” section, check the “Manually correct the table of contents after conversion is complete” checkbox.

In the “FB2 Import” section, check the “Do not insert Table of Contents at the beginning of the book” checkbox.

In the “EPUB output” section, check the “Maintain cover aspect ratio” checkbox.

After setting the specified settings, you can click “OK” and the conversion process will start. When it comes time to create the content, the program will show a window in which you can manually add or remove sections that will be in the content of the book. In our example, the content included footnotes and the title of the book, which means we need to remove them by highlighting them and clicking the appropriate button.

After cleaning and editing the future content, the list began to look like this:

Click “OK” and complete the conversion process. The resulting book is saved in the folder by default "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Caliber Library\" in a subfolder with the author's name.

Conclusion

This article does not claim originality or any single possible solution to the problem. It also does not cover all available adjustments to book output formats. However, within the framework of a minimum familiarization with the correct conversion of Word documents into the most popular electronic book formats, this article will be quite enough for you. If you have the desire and free time, you can always do something better.

FB2 is an extremely popular format, and most often you can find e-books in it. There are special reader applications that provide not only support for this format, but also the convenience of displaying content. It is logical, because many are accustomed to reading not only on a computer screen, but also on mobile devices.

No matter how cool, convenient and widespread FB2 is, the main software solution for creating and storing text data still remains Microsoft Word and its standard DOC and DOCX formats. In addition, many e-books are still distributed there the old fashioned way.

You can open such a file on any computer with Office installed, but it won’t look very convenient for reading, and not every user will want to bother with changing the text formatting. It is for this reason that the need to translate a Word document into FB2 is so urgent. Actually, we will tell you how to do this below.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to convert a DOCX document to FB2 using the standard tools of the Microsoft Word text editor. To solve this problem you will have to resort to using third-party software, namely . This is not the most popular program, but for our purposes its functionality is more than enough.

Despite the fact that the installation file takes up less than 1 MB, the characteristics of the application are pleasantly surprising. You can familiarize yourself with them below; you can download this converter on the official website of its developer.

1. After downloading the archive, unpack it using the archiver installed on your computer. If there is none, choose the appropriate one from our articles. We recommend using one of the best solutions for working with archives - the WinZip program.

2. Extract the contents of the archive to a convenient location on your hard drive, place all files in one folder. Once done, run the executable file.

3. After launching the program, open the Word document that you want to convert to FB2. To do this, click the button in the form of a folder on the toolbar.

4. After specifying the path to the file, open it by clicking "Open", the text document will be opened (but not displayed) in the program interface. The top window will simply indicate the path to it.

5. Now click the button "File" and select "Convert". As can be seen from the tooltip next to this item, you can start the conversion process using the key "F9".

6. Wait for the process to complete, a window will appear in front of you in which you can set a name for the converted FB2 file and save it to your computer.

Note: By default, the program saves converted files to a standard folder "Documentation", and by packing them into a ZIP archive.

7. Go to the folder with the archive that contains the FB2 file, extract it and run it in a reader program, for example, the capabilities of which you can familiarize yourself with on our website.

As you can see, a text document in FB2 format looks much more readable than in Word, especially since you can open this file on a mobile device. The same FBReader has an application for almost all desktop and mobile platforms.

This is just one of the possible options that allows you to convert a Word document to FB2. For those users who for some reason are not satisfied with this method, we have prepared another one, which will be discussed below.

Using an online converter

There are quite a few resources that allow you to convert files from one format to another online. The Word direction we need in FB2 is also present on some of them. So that you don’t have to search for a suitable, proven site for a long time, we have already done this for you and offer as many as three online converters to choose from.

Let's look at the conversion process using the last (third) site as an example.

1. Select the Word file that you want to convert to FB2 by specifying the path to it on your computer and opening it in the site interface.

Note: This resource also allows you to specify a link to a text file if it is posted on the web, or download a document from popular cloud storages - Dropbox and Google Drive.

2. In the next window you need to configure the conversion settings:

• Paragraph “Program for reading a received e-book” We recommend leaving it unchanged;
• If necessary, change the file name, author, and margin sizes;
• Parameter "Change initial file encoding" It's better to leave it as it is - "Auto-detection".

3. Click the button "Convert file" and wait for the process to complete.

Note: The download of the converted file will start automatically, so simply specify the path to save it and click "Save".

Now you can open the FB2 file obtained from a Word document in any program that supports this format.

That’s all, as you can see, converting Word to FB2 format is not at all difficult. Just choose the appropriate method and use it, whether it is a converter program or an online resource is up to you.

One of the most popular reading formats that meets the modern needs of readers is FB2. Therefore, the issue of converting e-books of other formats, including PDF, into FB2 becomes relevant.

Unfortunately, most programs for reading PDF and FB2 files, with rare exceptions, do not provide the ability to convert one of these formats to another. For these purposes, first of all, online services or specialized converter programs are used. We will talk about using the latter to convert books from PDF to FB2 in this article.

It must be said right away that for normal PDF to FB2 conversion you should use sources in which the text is already recognized.

Method 1: Caliber

Method 2: AVS Document Converter

8. After that, after Windows Explorer The directory opens in which the file converted by the program in FB2 format is located.

The main disadvantage of this option is that the AVS Document Converter application is paid. If you use its free option, then a watermark will be applied to the pages of the document resulting from conversion.

Method 3: ABBYY PDF Transformer+

There is a special ABBYY PDF Transformer+ application, which is designed to convert PDF to various formats, including FB2, as well as perform conversion in the opposite direction.

Unfortunately, not many programs provide the ability to convert PDF to FB2. First of all, this is due to the fact that these formats use completely different standards and technologies, which complicates the correct conversion procedure. In addition, most of the well-known converters that support this conversion direction are paid.

FB2 is a fairly common format and, most often, you can find e-books in it. It is also understood by various applications installed on your computer, phone and tablet. But when the need arises to change something in such a document, the question of converting it immediately arises.

In this article I will talk about several ways to convert the FB2 format to a Word document. As a result, we will receive a file in *.doc or *.docx format, and we can make any changes.

You can use various programs for this. But finding them on the Internet turned out to be not easy, and those that are found can infect your computer with a virus, or install a lot of unnecessary and completely unnecessary things. Therefore, I will not talk about them, especially since there are other ways.

Using online converters

I'll start with popular online converters. There are quite a lot of them, but the most common are Cionvertio and Ebook. To get to the desired Cionvertio page, follow the link: https://convertio.co/ru/fb2-doc/. Everything is very simple there: upload the file and click on the desired button.

With Ebook everything is similar, but let's look at it as an example. It's called Online Converter. Ebook refers to electronic books. Since we will be working with a Word document, the link will look like: https://document.online-convert.com/ru/convert-to-docx. It says document instead of ebook. Follow it to the page of the site that interests us.

Here you need to upload what you will remake in DOCX. You can choose from your computer, cloud storage, or add a link from the Internet. I'll use the first option.

Find a book in FB2 on your computer, select it and click .

It will be loaded and the name will appear next to the button. Then click "Convert file".

Wait a moment and a success message will appear.

The converted document is automatically saved on your computer. So go to the folder and find it there. Its name will be changed, so look by date.

After opening, a line about protected viewing will appear. To remove it, click on the button "Allow editing".

My document converted from fb2 to Word looks like this. The pictures remained in place, as did the text. The indents between paragraphs have disappeared and the spacing between lines has changed, but this is easy to fix.

About the possibilities of formatting and editing in Word, you can read a separate article on the site.

Changing the extension

If you don't want to use online services, then there is another option. To do this, we will have to change the extension of the document we need and copy all its contents.

Look, if there is no “.fb2” after the name, then click in Explorer.

In the list that opens, select "Folder and Search Options".

If Word 2016 is installed, then select “View” at the top, then the “Options” button, and in it the sub-item "Change folder and search options".

After this, an extension will be added to the name. Change "fb2" to "html".

Confirm this action in the next window.

By double-clicking on the file, it will open in the browser. Select all the text - press "Ctrl+A", and copy it - "Ctrl+C".

Create a new document in MS Word and paste text there - press “Ctrl+V”.

I still have paragraphs and indents, but no pictures.

Directly opening the desired file in Word

Instead of converting, you can use a generally simple method - open a document in fb2 format directly in Word. To do this, launch a text editor, select the “File” tab at the top, then the item.

If it opens via Protected View, then allow editing. After this, the page will look like the screenshot below. The text remains, but its formatting is lost, and the pictures are also missing.

To save the file, go to the first tab at the top and select .

Specify the folder on your computer where you want to place it, select “Word Document” in the “Type” field and click “Save”.

If you have chosen a new format, then confirm in the window that opens that you agree with all possible changes.

These are the ways you can convert a document in FB2 format to DOCX or DOC. Each of them has its own shortcomings, formatting is lost somewhere, pictures are lost somewhere. Choose the one that suits you best.

The fb2 format itself is one of the representatives of formats for storing various documents. Most often it contains various books and so on. Its distinctive advantage is that it can be used to read books on a variety of mobile devices. For example, most mobile devices do not support the PDF format (in which books are most often distributed), but fb2 is ideal for them. Of course, you can download special software that will open PDF files, but you still need to find it, and this is not always possible.

The easiest ways

In this regard, users very often look for ways to convert files from PDF to fb2. It should be noted that there are several ways to convert files. The fastest way is to use a special PDF to fb2 converter. In order to use such software, you do not need to have any advanced knowledge. To do this, you just need to select the source file, then specify the destination folder and wait for the conversion process to complete. The main advantage of this program is its simple and intuitive interface. It is thanks to him that even a novice user can convert one file format to another.

Also, the user can use a special online PDF Reader converter, which will change the PDF format to fb2. It can change the format of almost any file into the one that the user needs, and its most important advantage is that it does not need to be installed on a PC.

For those who are not looking for easy ways

There is another way out of this situation. For example, you can first change the format of a PDF document to DOC (if, for example, you want to correct something in the file), and only after that convert it to fb2. To convert PDF to DOC, you can use the Amber PDF Converter program. Its main advantage is that it supports converting PDF files to a huge variety of other formats (for example, html, chm, txt, doc, xls, mcw, sam, etc.). Then, to carry out the last stage of conversion, you need to install the HtmlDocs2fb2 program. As you can tell from the name, this program can work not only with doc format, but also with html. In addition, among its functionality there is the ability to automatically archive results. As a result, the user can use these programs to obtain a converted file.
