+# Bash script to convert a PDF file to a fixed layout ePub file.
+# By Eric Dodémont (eric.dodemont@skynet.be)
+# Belgium, July 2020
+#
+# This bash script uses the pdf2htmlEX tool to convert a PDF file (myfile.pdf) to a fixed layout ePub file (myfile.epub).
+# The layout is retained and all the fonts are embedded.
+# The pdf2htmlEX tool converts a PDF file into HTML (with CSS, JS, fonts, and bitmap and/or vector images).
+# Usage: ./pdf2epubEX.sh myfile.pdf
+# The PDF file has to be in the same directory as the script.
+# Result will be: myfile.epub
+# Prerequisites: You have to install pdf2htmlEX before using the script.
+
 cp $1 ./mybook.pdf
