RB to FTS conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file stored in the RB format (a proprietary or less common reflowable ebook/container format) into the FTS format (a target ebook package optimized for fast text rendering and fixed-layout features). This conversion extracts and maps text, images, metadata, and layout elements so the content displays correctly in FTS-compatible readers and tools.
