RB to PFM conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in RB format (an eBook container commonly used by specific reading apps and DRM-free ebook toolchains) into a PFM (Portable Fiction Manuscript) file, a layout-preserving ebook format optimized for high-fidelity text and simple image embedding. This conversion extracts text, images, and metadata from the RB container and re-encodes them into the PFM structure so the book can be read or edited in tools that support PFM files.
