ODFToEPub instructions
Installation
ODFToEPub is an OpenOffice.org extension as well as a stand-alone
program. The extension requires at least
OpenOffice.org 3.2.
After receiving the license.xml
file by e-mail, you should save it on
your computer and install it. Then
you can download the extension and
install it with the extension manager, which you will find in the menu at
Tools→Extension Manager. In the dialog box that appears you
choose Add
and provide the extension file (.oxt extension). You're
done!
Running it
This is simply a matter of opening a document in OpenOffice.org and
choosing File→Export in the menu. In the dialog box you have to select
ePub
. Alternatively you can use the toolbar button with the ePub logo.
The Open
Document Format specification is a good document to test it with. The
document has been slightly modified to demonstrate a number of features. The
resulting ePub-document is
here. There is also
a demo document that shows a number of advanced features
and produces this ePub-document.
There is also a stand-alone version that asks for a document and
produces a document with same name except for the extension
.epub
. The stand-alone program is a Java archive. On most systems you can
double-click on the archive to launch it.
The batch version can be used as a Java library or be launched on the command-line as follows:
> java -jar odf_to_epub.jar document.odt
[document.epub]
You can embed fonts in an ePub-file through this link. This will launch a program that first asks for the ePub-file and then for the font-files.
