EPUBTurn and Convertio: compare a real research PDF

By EPUBTurn · Updated

On the same published paper, EPUBTurn’s reviewed export kept passage order and numeric context; Convertio mixed the columns and omitted Figure 1’s plots. EPUBTurn’s figure crop still has a limitation.

The real paper used for this comparison

Convertio’s default download completed, but the research-paper output mixes a right-column confidence interval into an unrelated opening sentence. That matters more than merely receiving an EPUB. The source and saved results below show the reading difference with EPUBTurn’s reviewed result, including the limits of that reviewed result.

We publish EPUBTurn. The comparison uses the source and saved results so you can inspect the evidence.

How the EPUBTurn result was made

EPUBTurn’s initial automatic workflow stopped on page 7. Three equation image boundaries were manually corrected before a reviewed result was made. Competitor files use their stated defaults. The remaining figure defect was not repaired.

Column order: a value enters the wrong sentence

Convertio’s tested default output inserts “16.82–18.96; n = 57 sites” into the opening left-column passage about young mature female fish. In the source, that interval belongs to a result at the end of the left column and continuation at the top of the right. The words survive, but their interleaving interrupts the explanation. The screenshot and raw reading order are evidence for that specific problem.

Figure 1: caption words are not the plot

The source combines a world map, density curve and scatterplot, each with meaningful markers and legends. Convertio’s output retains caption and label text but not those visual panels. Numbers and a figure caption cannot replace the relationships visible in the plots. Compare the source page beside the downloaded figure passage before calling a chart retained.

What EPUBTurn retained—and what was clipped

The reviewed EPUBTurn passage keeps 16.82–18.96 with its fished-site condition instead of inserting the interval into the opening sentence, as Convertio does. The three Figure 1 panels survive with their caption. EPUBTurn’s crop loses lower x-axis ticks and titles, however; a useful plot image does not establish full fidelity.

Choose a permitted workflow, then judge its content

Convertio’s anonymous default route returned a download without payment. Simple documents may require less reconstruction than this paper. No OCR preprocessing or paid configuration was tested.

Browser captures use a 1280 × 900 view at 100% zoom. No native reader or device was tested. This paper has no scan or table-grid test; no accuracy or speed ranking is claimed.

We used original pages 1–10, omitting the final reference/licence page. No source wording was rewritten. Converted files and screenshot excerpts are adaptations.

A downloaded file should let you follow the paper’s explanation. Try an EPUBTurn sample of your report and match a value to its population or condition, then inspect a useful figure. Only the up-to-ten automatically selected pages are covered; keep important later passages unchecked until you see them.
