convertfiles.com And at the end I’ll add one more “bourgeois” site, which I had to use most often. I did not conduct any special comparisons or tests, but it seemed that the processing in it was the most correct, there were fewer errors and failures in the work. There are no size restrictions noted. Big choice output and input formats. It is possible to leave your email and have a link to the processed file sent to it - sometimes this can be very useful.

For you, as a fan of reading e-books, many formats created specifically for reading in mobile devices. Perhaps you have also heard about the FB2 format? FB2 is a book representation format in XML format and created in Russia. In this format, each element is described by its own tags. What makes this format convenient for many users is that it is supported by many mobile platforms, which means it can be used to read books on these platforms. It is good because it consists of tags and can be drawn in accordance with the rendering of this format on different devices. The format also contains descriptive text formatting tags such as bold, font size, underlining, etc.

Converters between DOC and FB2

Converters to Windows environment are in great demand, since for the system all these DjVu, PDF, DOC, DOCX, FB2, HTML are different structures, although they can all contain the same document. These file formats are complex because each company that developed them had its own ideas about how best to store a document in a file. The matter is further complicated by the fact that most formats are closed, that is, only “its own” program can “high-quality” open a document (for example, for editing). Converters allow you to convert one document format to another without losing information, although in some cases there will often be errors in formatting and processing of objects embedded in the document. We will tell you how to combine DOC and FB2 formats, or, in other words, how to convert DOC to FB2 or vice versa. The most popular programs for this will also be considered, and you yourself choose which one FB2 to DOC converter(or DOC in FB2) you will like it better.

Conversion programs

By asking in the search “ doc to fb2", we found a site for several converter programs. It should be noted that there are quite a few such programs. It is easy to translate pure text from document to document, but we have selected FB2 documents with pictures inside, as well as with different encodings.

BookDesigner 4

The program managed to download all the texts from FB2, but at the same time lost the illustrations. Save to Word format ended with an error and the program crashed. Convert DOC to FB2 works, but complex documents may not be converted correctly - tables, pictures, etc. Apparently, the package uses libraries built into Word, which cause frequent conflicts when saving a document. In general, the program looks so dull and ancient (there’s not even a menu) that it’s scary to think what less-promoted analogues can offer.

Any2FB2

The converter is capable of processing many input formats into FB2. This converter is on par with the flagship described above, considering that FB2 can be squeezed into DOC manually, but the other way around is more difficult. As expected, DOC conversion in FB2 works well only on relatively simple documents. If you come across formulas, tables, pictures, don’t expect them to be converted normally. It is especially sad that many other programs that have the same shortcomings are built on the basis of this converter.

htmlDocs2fb2

A program similar to Any2FB2, only the source files can be in HTML and DOC format. The program works in semi-automatic mode, so it was difficult to understand it. Anyway, fed to her DOC document went “nowhere”, and an attempt to convert it resulted in the creation of a correct FB2 file of 1 kilobyte (!). But this is already an achievement for the first test. Having looked at the reviews of other participants, we can say that the program works more or less normally with simple documents, but you need to get used to it.

Conclusion: good programs there is no automatic conversion between DOC and FB2 yet, but there are still attempts to develop it.

Tricks and Tricks

  1. The FB2 format is a specialized document XML format. This format has much in common with the usual HTML format, which can be played by any browser. Simply rename the file, replacing the extension from FB2 to HTML, and then double-click on it. The text in the browser can then be copied and pasted into a MS Word document.
  2. Another opportunity" FB2 to DOC converter” – open Word, then through the “open” menu simply open the document, indicating “all files” in the drop-down menu. This works in all versions of Word, but it leaves extra tags in the text. If you are using Word 2003 or newer, tags can be removed from the text by pressing Ctrl-Alt-X. Simple text will remain. Of course, no pictures from FB2 are saved.
  3. In general, the FB2 format is surprisingly simple and transparent, so it will not cause difficulties for users familiar with HTML. If you don’t have the necessary converters at hand, you can easily manually remove tags from the text, as well as remove the code for the pictures at the end of the document - we get a TXT format that can be opened anywhere.

Many people are concerned about the problem of how to transfer their lectures or simple documents compiled in Word to their favorite smartphone or tablet, where either FBReader or CoolReader or some other convenient reader in FB2 format has been installed for a long time.

I tried and tested a program with a simple name doc2fb. (With) e-books

Doc2fb - a very small program designed for conversion. doc, .txt and .rtf files in fb2 format for readers. The program works on PC (Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7) and on PDAs. Provides the ability to work in batch mode. The interface language is Russian. ( You can download it below)

In order for the application to work, MS Word 2003 must be installed on the PC (this is a minimum). You must also have javascript with version no lower than 5 (it is included in IE), everything went without problems on my Mozilla and Opera

Word vector images, for example, WMF, do not end up in the final file. Raster images, which differ from JPEG format, are converted to PNG. (proof below)

Here's my example. Example text in Word

And here's what it looks like on Android

Well, the program itself

In the “Folder” line, you need to click on the button with the “>>” image, and then select the folder that contains the necessary DOC files. After this, the “convert” button becomes active.
