Fixed-Layout PDF vs Reflowable Kindle AZW3
PDF documents lock characters into rigid, immutable coordinate systems optimized for print, while AZW3 (Kindle Format 8) is a reflowable e-book format. ScanPDF uses Calibre's heuristic text unwrapper to extract narrative passages, headings, and embedded figures into a comfortable Kindle reading experience.
Paragraph Reassembly & Unwrapping
Detects hard PDF line breaks and joins broken sentences into smooth, continuous paragraphs that reflow naturally when changing font sizes.
Kindle Format 8 (KF8) Features
Produces modern AZW3 containers featuring HTML5 typography, embedded font support, and customizable line spacing on Kindle e-ink displays.
Embedded Image Extraction
Extracts illustrations and diagrams embedded in the PDF and packages them into the AZW3 database records.
Important Considerations: Vector Text vs Scanned Pages
Selectable Text Required
Reflowable e-book conversion extracts selectable text. Scanned document PDFs containing flat page images without OCR cannot reflow and convert as full-page pictures.
Complex Multi-Column Layouts
Academic papers with multi-column text, sidebars, and formulas are linearized into sequential narrative flow for e-ink reading.
Zero Persistent Storage
Conversions execute in isolated temporary processing. The PDF and generated AZW3 are permanently deleted upon response completion.
