EBookGenTools is a set of GNU/Linux shell scripts to process plain text for a book into HTML and electronic book formats. It was developed to create EPUB and DOC files from book text exported from novel writing software such as Manuskript, StoryBook, or your favourite text editor. EBookGenTools builds on the power of other software to create the following ebook formats: - EPUB: Calibre - ebook management - DOC: LibreOffice - free office suite These tools can be used directly to create ebooks. The advantage provided by EBookGenTools is to automate the process, thus saving an author time when creating and recreating ebook formats. EBookGenTools is a shortened form for Electronic Book Generation Tools. For more details see: https://sourceforge.net/p/ebookgentools/code/ci/master/tree/README.md

Forward/Inverse from tex to pdf never quite seem to work out of the box. These scripts aim to ensure that you will be able to do forward/inverse search from emacs to tex. Pdfsync is used for the synchronization.

pdf2oo converts pdf to odf. It creates an image for each page, allowing to overlay drawings and text and export it back to pdf. Handy for rewiews of scientific papers. The closest thing to a free pdf editor, "almost" an openoffice pdf import filter.
