RB to PCT conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in the RB format (a proprietary or niche ebook/container format used by some reading apps and devices) into the PCT format (a picture/print-compatible ebook/page composition format used for fixed-layout publications). This conversion extracts the RB content — text, images, and layout metadata — and repackages it into a PCT file so the ebook displays correctly in applications that require fixed-page or high-fidelity page rendering.
