Silk evolve is the name we chose for the latest version of our in-house reflowable ebook conversion platform. The original Silk proved that intelligent automation could make the conversion from print to EPUB 2 as smooth as silk. The evolution is Silk’s ability to implement the enhancements of the EPUB 3 specification, including audio/video support, SVG, MathML, multiple navigation tables, and many new CSS3 formatting properties.

Why?
Conversion from PDF to EPUB typically relies on a combination of freeware tools to extract the content and manual quality checks to find the inevitable errors that result from this approach. These are the errors that ebook buyers frequently flag in their online reviews, such as two words joined together, or one word still divided by an end-of-line hyphen; broken paragraphs; question marks and boxes in place of accented letters and symbol characters; lost text formatting, and no table formatting.

Why?
Silk evolve knows how to read PDFs, and it knows when it needs a human being to validate its reading. This guided process dramatically improves the fidelity of ebook content to the print original, preserving the publisher’s investment in editing and proofreading, to get accurate content to market faster.
