FB2 to PDF converter

FictionBook 2.0 was developed by Dmitry Gribov and was first released in 2004 as an eBook format. Native to Russia, this format ranks high on popularity polls of eBook formats in the country. Though XML-based, like several other eBook formats, FB2 files are peculiar because they contain just one XML relative to multiples found in other eBook formats. Since the FB2 format is open-source, and due to the absence of any digital rights management, it is favored by the reader's communities on online electronic libraries. Most importantly, FictionBook is supported by popular eBook readers; this is mainly because FB2 files can be easily converted to other types.

While many eBook formats support plain text alone, FB2 files can contain epigraphs, formatted verses, quotations, and other unique tags that are the quintessence of fictional works. In a bid to maintain the text-only protocol, average eBook formats leave essential information like author name and biography, book title, and publisher on the image file that serves as the eBook cover. FB2 structure permits the data mentioned above to be rendered as part of the book file, giving the experience of reading an actual book. FB2 supports the vast character types found on popular word-processing applications. Due to the special inline formatting like bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, sub- and superscript supported by FictionBooks, the file structure includes a Stylesheet that contains data to this effect. FB2 files are structured such that the actual text content comes first, given readers something to nibble on while the rest of the book loads.

Adobe Viewer

PDF – is a cross-platform extension necessary for the visualization of printed materials in electronic form. It is developed by Adobe Systems using separate PostScript resources. PDF documents can exist separately from the OS or hardware tools with which they were developed. Files of this format do not have restrictions on the length, several types, and image options, as they allow you to embed various multimedia tools, scan-line, and vector images. They are supported by Adobe Reader and many browsers, providing the plugin is installed.

PDF supports color models CMYK, RGB, shades of gray, and also it has its technical formats for performing the exchange of finished documents. Any file contains a description of a 2D or 3D document with all the necessary components (scan-line, vector graphics, text, and more). The extension does not encode data associated with the software or OS used to develop and view it.
