We solved book layout.

Any format to any other

A book usually lives in several files. The author writes in Word, the typesetter works in InDesign, the mathematician sends LaTeX, and the store wants an EPUB. PageBender reads each of these into a single structured copy of the book, so every file you download comes from the same text: a correction made once appears everywhere.

Two conversions get their own pages because they are the hardest to do by hand: LaTeX to EPUB, which keeps the equations as MathML, and EPUB to LaTeX, which turns an ebook into source a TeX user can work on.

From manuscript to book

1. Upload. PageBender reads the file and checks every word, picture, table and note against what the reader recovered. A word that goes missing is reported, not dropped.
2. Structure. Chapters, parts, front and back matter, verse, block quotes and captions are found and shown in a contents rail, where you can move or rename them.
3. Edit. Clean-up rules, an AI copy-edit and a fact check propose changes as cards. You accept or reject each one, or a whole group at once.
4. Typeset. TeX sets the pages. The page make-up pass fixes widows, orphans and headings stranded at the foot of a page.
5. Download. PDF, EPUB, Kindle, Word, IDML and LaTeX, all made from the edited text.

Editing you can check

Each proposed change is a card that shows what changed and why. Spelling choices are made once for the whole book: if it writes “civilisation” eighteen times and “civilization” six, the card says so and you pick one. Quoted words are left alone except for clear typos. Edits never delete an inline image or change a link's address.

• House rules for quotation punctuation, US or UK spelling, number style (Chicago, APA or technical) and heading case.
• Citations restyled to Chicago, APA or Harvard, moved into the text or into notes, with a references list built from DOIs and ISBNs.
• A fact check that flags claims for the author and keeps a source with each accepted correction.
• A Word redline that shows the smallest real change, as Word's own compare does.

Print that holds up

The print interior is set by TeX, the typesetting system mathematicians and university presses have used for decades. PageBender chooses the type, the sizes and the leading for the kind of book it reads, and you can change any of them on the build sheet.

The energy of the state is
\begin{equation}
  E = \frac{p^2}{2m} + V(x)
  \label{eq:energy}
\end{equation}
as shown in \eqref{eq:energy}.

• Display equations stay centred and numbered, and the cross-references stay linked in print, EPUB, Word and InDesign.
• A table too wide for the page turns sideways or spreads across a facing pair. Its header row repeats on every page.
• Figures float, so pages don't end short. Each figure is checked for type too small to read at printed size.
• Footnotes at the foot, at the chapter end or at the book end, with marks in roman, arabic or symbols.
• Kindle-ready EPUB with landmarks, alt text and a Kindle pre-flight check.
• Latin and Devanagari scripts, including Hindi and Sanskrit with transliteration, and legacy Indic fonts converted to Unicode.
