PDF to FICTIONBOOK conversion is the process of transforming a document saved in Portable Document Format (PDF) into the FB2 (FictionBook) e-book XML format used primarily for fiction and text-centric books. The conversion extracts text, structure (chapters, headings), and metadata from the PDF and maps them into FB2 tags so the resulting file is optimized for e-readers and software that prefer structured XML-based ebooks.
