Understanding PDF and FB2 Formats

Learn about the source and target file formats to understand what happens during conversion.

Source Format

PDF Vector

application/pdf

PDF (Portable Document Format) serves as a versatile vector graphics container based on PostScript, preserving vector paths, text, fonts, and images with exact fidelity. In the vector conversion context, PDF maintains mathematical precision of vector elements while supporting transparency, color management, and embedded fonts. PDF has largely replaced EPS as the preferred vector interchange format for print production.

Advantages

  • Preserves vector precision with full transparency and color management support
  • Universal viewability on all platforms without specialized vector software
  • Supports embedded fonts ensuring text renders correctly everywhere

Limitations

  • Editing vector elements within PDF requires specialized software like Illustrator
  • Can contain both vector and raster content making the format ambiguous
  • Larger file sizes than SVG for pure vector content due to embedded resources

Common Uses

  • Print-ready vector artwork and prepress file delivery
  • Vector graphic preservation for archival and distribution
  • Cross-platform vector document sharing with guaranteed appearance

Target Format

FictionBook E-Book

application/x-fictionbook+xml

FB2 (FictionBook 2.0) is an XML-based e-book format popular primarily in Russia and Eastern Europe. It stores book content with structured metadata including author information, genre classification, and series data in a single XML file. FB2 separates content structure from presentation, allowing reading applications to apply their own styling while preserving the logical document hierarchy.

Advantages

  • Rich structured metadata including author, genre, series, and annotation
  • Single self-contained XML file with embedded images in base64
  • Strong support in Eastern European and Russian e-reading ecosystems

Limitations

  • Very limited adoption outside of Russia and Eastern Europe
  • Fewer features than EPUB 3 for multimedia and interactive content
  • Not supported by mainstream Western e-readers like Kindle or Kobo

Common Uses

  • Russian-language e-book distribution and libraries
  • Eastern European e-reader devices and applications
  • E-book archiving with comprehensive structured metadata
