What is the FB2 format?

FictionBook 2 (FB2) is an XML-based e-book format created in Russia. It stores the book's structure (chapters, sections, annotations), text content, formatting, images, and metadata in a single XML file. It is widely used across Russian-speaking countries and Eastern Europe, with large libraries of FB2 books available online.

Why convert FB2 to PDF instead of EPUB?

PDF preserves exact page layout for printing and consistent rendering across all devices and platforms. If you want to read on an e-reader, EPUB may be preferable, but PDF is ideal for printing physical copies, archiving, and sharing documents where consistent formatting matters.

Are Cyrillic characters handled correctly?

Yes. The converter fully supports Unicode including Cyrillic, Latin, and mixed character sets. Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and other Slavic language texts are rendered correctly in the output PDF.

Will the chapter structure be preserved?

Yes. The FB2 chapter and section hierarchy is converted into PDF bookmarks for navigation. A clickable table of contents is generated from the book's structure.
