Hi,
As above really. Does anyone know of a good ePub to PDF app?
I'd use iBooks to read my books, but I want to annotate them with a recently purchased product called iPen that was started on kickstarter.
To do that, there are only so many apps at the moment that use the iPen SDK all of which use PDFs as file format of choice.
Thanks,
Freddie

I believe the free Calibre app will do it.

I tried that. I used it with the Steve Jobs book by Walter Isaacson and it didn't work.
I tried the last two with Adobe Digital Editions. But the same book as above wouldn't even open with Adobe Digital Editions properly
Most likely it is DRM protected, and that is preventing these apps from accessing the ePub so it can be converted.
As others have said you can convert them using Calibre. Great application. I do know that you can read pdf in iBooks but you do not get the extra functions, such as tap a word to get a definition, or to copy and paste elsewhere. I've just converted all my Open University Text books to iBook format for this main reason. I had them all as PDFs but it was a hassle looking up stuff. Also iBook format is 'a nicer experience' and more like reading a book book.
When you export to ePub, aren't you getting an alert listing some oddities ?
I tried to edit the Block Quote style so that it apply Courier, and I got this report :
As the only change which I applied was the font one, I guess that you got the same kind of warning.
I had purchased an iBook years ago from the store and it is no longer available now. I am unable to dowload it to any device, including my computer, off of the cloud. Also, what is interesting is that I have a copy of it downloaded onto my iPad (saved in iTunes) but it WILL NOT READ on my iBooks for Mac because of it being off the store. I was a little concerned so I wanted to back up my iBooks to pdf's should this ever happen again. I came to find out it was challenging to find good quality guidance on the issue. So, I figured it out.
As of 11/6/13 with the new OSX Mavericks installed along with the latest iTunes 11.1.3 and new iBooks app for mac here is a quick way to do it.
1. Do a spotlight search (CMD + SPACE) to find the iBooks folder. (it is in your documents)
2. Click on the folder and open it, inside you fill find another folder called Books.
3. From here you may have to do some guesswork to find out which #######.epub file is the book you are looking for. I suggest trying to open them individually and going on from there.
4. Once you isolate the file, make a copy (option hold, click and drag) to the desktop.
5. Go to this website http://www.convertfiles.com/convert/ebook/EPUB-to-PDF.html
6. "Browse" for your file, select the ####.epub on your desktop. Make sure .epub is the "input format" and .pdf is the "output format"
7. Click convert.
8. Click the external link to download your converted file.
Happy reading, where you want to, with backup!
Thank you! This worked!
Is there a way to convert ePub to PDF?
