ELECTRONIC Publication to ABW conversion is the process of transforming an EPUB e‑book file — a packaged, HTML/CSS-based format used for reflowable and fixed-layout digital publications — into an ABW document, the native word processing format used by AbiWord. This conversion extracts text, images, and basic formatting from the EPUB container and maps them to ABW elements so the content is editable in word processors that support the ABW format.

To preserve formatting, choose the 'preserve CSS styles' or 'map CSS to ABW styles' option; fixed-layout EPUBs may need manual adjustments in AbiWord after conversion.
For best image quality, select a high image-extraction setting; if final file size is a concern, use medium or low quality or compress images before conversion.
