  • You seem like the kind of people that read. How do you convert to epub?

  • Tesseract doesn't support PDF input, you'll need some other program like ocrmypdf (which I have used. It uses tesseract), or extract each page to it's own image (which I have also done but I forget how right now.)

  • Someone took my EPUB, replaced the cover/frontpage which gave me credit (for the hours I spent on it), and uploaded it to libgen/zlib (annas-archive link.)

    How do I know? Besides the structure just... looking like me. It has my little addition

    [ComLib/Edward: This seems to refer to Radeks speech at the Soviet Writers Congress in August 1934. A copy is available here: https://www.marxists.org/archive/radek/1934/sovietwritercongress.htm]

    I'm happy that (probably) more people are reading it. But uknow I'll start adding myself as contributor or whatever the correct thing is in the metadata

  • I tried https://redstarpublishers.org/adoratsky.pdf in the one you shared. It's good compared to all the PDF converts I've seen. And if I had to read it without making any changes to it, it'll certainly do. But it could use some manual intervention. There are random line breaks, blockquotes are not blockquotes, and footnotes are just... in the text. That's at least what I see at a glance.

    Edit: Wait, hang on, cloudconvert is just using Calibre! It's the exact same output. Every css class is calibre[number]. And stuff like the OPF contain metadata with calibre: <dc:contributor opf:role="bkp">calibre (8.4.0) [https://calibre-ebook.com/]</dc:contributor>

  • PDFs are styling with text. The footnotes are usually just plain text, with no connection, no different from the rest of the text—unlike in EPUBs where they are usually connected through anchors, bonus if they have epub:type, and the footnote text is usually away from the rest of the chapter text. AFAIK there is no good way of automatically converting from PDF to EPUB. So to answer the question in the title, manually.
