Easy Steps: Transforming CBR Documents Into Editable PDF Format

How to Convert CBR to PDF

Posted by Jonny Greenwood on 11/26/2018 3:04:15 PM.

CBR is the most popular comic format on the Internet. But it’s unsupported on e-book readers or tablets. It’s a pity that you have many CBR comic books at hand but you can’t read them on your Kindle or iPad. So I come up with the idea of converting CBR files into PDF format which most e-book readers support. Here we list two methods of converting CBR to PDF.

Method 1. Convert CBR to PDF with Calibre

Calibre is a very powerful and free e-book management program. It supports multiple e-book formats conversion.

Generally you just need to follow the two steps above. It must point out that you must select the “Disable comic processing” option otherwise the colorful comic will turn into black-and-white one.

Method 2. Convert CBR to PDF with Microsoft Word

Many people think it’s boring and inconvenient to download and install software. They want a simple way like using something very common. So here comes the second method – converting with Microsoft Word, a program which almost everyone has in their PC. OK, let’s follow the steps below

Step1. Change your CBR files into images

You may be confused of this step. Actually CBR means “Comic Book RAR”. A CBR files is a RAR file. Rename the CBR filename suffix “cbr” into “rar” and extract the new rar file. You’ll get a new folder of many pictures.

Set page margins

Select “Paper” and set width and height. For a better reading experience, I suggest you set the width and height similar to your –e-book reader’s resolution. For example, if your e-book reader is Kindle Fire which has a resolution of 1024*600. Then you should set the width and height as “6.00” and “10.24”.
