TCR to PFM conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in the TCR (Psion/EBook) format into the PFM (Portable Font Metrics or sometimes a plain PFM ebook variant) format so the content can be read or repurposed by applications that require PFM. This conversion extracts text, structure, and any embedded metadata from the TCR container and writes it into the PFM output while attempting to preserve layout and character encoding.
