About FB2 to PDF
FB2 to PDF sets a FictionBook document (.fb2) as a PDF with fixed A4 pages. FictionBook is an XML format that describes a book's structure (sections, titles, epigraphs, verse) and not its appearance, so the converter supplies the typesetting with its own layout.
FictionBook XML is read and typeset in a web worker on your device. This converter fetches nothing from the network and does not send the file to a server.
How to use FB2 to PDF
- Choose one .fb2 file, or the .fb2.zip archive it came in; the upload area takes a single file per run.
- Click Convert to PDF, then save the result with Download once the success message appears.
- Click Start Over for the next book.
On a production
Public-domain source texts circulate widely as FictionBook, particularly outside English-language collections, and few desktop applications open the format. Converting them to PDF puts research texts into a form a whole team can read, print and cite by page.
Frequently asked questions
- Can several books be converted at once?
- No, the tool handles exactly one file per run. For a collection, repeat the conversion for each book and, if you want a single document, combine the PDFs afterwards with Merge PDF.
- Are zipped FictionBook files handled directly?
- Yes. A .fb2.zip archive is unpacked on your device and the first .fb2 file inside it is converted, so there is no need to extract it first.
- Does the section structure become bookmarks?
- Yes. Section titles become PDF bookmarks, nested the way the sections are, and each top-level section starts on a new page. The page size is fixed at A4.
- Which alphabets are supported?
- The text is set in the app's built-in font, which covers Latin, Greek and Cyrillic script. For Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Arabic and Hebrew text the converter loads a further font the first time a document needs it; characters of other scripts come out blank. Russian books, the most common FictionBook texts, are therefore set completely.
