Question about ABC Amber LIT Converter

Anyone using this? I tried it and it works like a champ. However, the output types I've tried (PDF, HTML, and a couple of others) all come out completely run together. No blank lines between paragraphs or chapters, or any kind of chapter or paragraph breaks. Is that anyone else's experience, or am I doing something wrong? I've tried both protected and non-protected LIT ebooks.

TIA,

Bev M

I use it quite a bit. I find that if the LIT text is formated properly then you don't need to really worry about the text running together. I've attached a .LIT file for you to try and my subsequent HTML output. See what results you get.

Now when you have raw text that runs together sometimes there are strange characters (sometimes non-printable characters) that are embedded in the document. You can often search for these and replace them (using Find/Find Replace in Notepad or Word for example) with carriage returns. Some more help with this can be found here:

Hope this helps a bit...

Thank you, that helped a lot. I found that your "Usher" file converted beautifully. And I'm delighted to have one of my favorite stories! Some of my ebooks convert nicely and others don't - and the last couple of days some DRM books that did convert now give me an "error" and won't convert with ABC, though so far they still do with Convert Lit. Odd! I'll look at the tips on the link you furnished. I appreciate the assistance.
