Sometimes it may be necessary to convert a book or document from one format to another. For example, if you do not have a program on your computer that reads this format, or if your reader reads only a limited number of formats. In this case, e-book and document converters will help. There are converters made in the form of Internet services (they do not require installation on a PC) and converter programs that need to be installed on a computer. I bring to your attention a catalog of various converters.

You, as an e-book reader, many formats designed specifically for reading on mobile devices must be known. Perhaps you have also heard about the FB2 format? FB2 is an XML book presentation format created in Russia. In this format, each element is described by its own tags. What makes this format convenient for many users is that it is supported by many mobile platforms, which means it can be used to read books on these platforms. It is good because it consists of tags and can be rendered in accordance with the rendering of this format on different devices. The format also contains descriptive text formatting tags such as bold, font size, underline, and so on.

In some situations, users need to convert text from FB2 books to TXT format. Let's see how this can be done.
You can immediately distinguish two main groups of ways to convert FB2 to TXT. The first of them is carried out using online services, and for the application of the second, software is used that is installed on the computer. It is the second group of methods that we will consider in this article. The most correct conversion in this direction is carried out by special converter programs, but this procedure can also be performed using some text editors and readers. Let's look at the algorithms for performing this task using specific applications.
Method 1: Notepad++
First of all, let's see how you can make a transformation in the direction under study using one of the most powerful text editors Notepad ++.
- Launch Notepad++. Click on the toolbar icon in the folder image.
If you are more accustomed to actions using the menu, then use the transition by "File" and "Open". Application Ctrl+O will fit too.
- The object selection window opens. Find the directory where the original FB2 book is located, select it and press "Open".
- The text content of the book, including tags, will be displayed in the Notepad++ shell.
- But in most cases, the tags in the TXT file are useless, and therefore it would be good to remove them. Erasing them manually is quite tedious, but in Notepad++ you can automate the whole thing. If you do not want to delete tags, then you can skip all further steps that are aimed at this and immediately proceed to the procedure for saving the object. The same users who want to delete should click "Search" and select from the list "Replacement" or apply "Ctrl+H".
- Launches a search window in a tab "Replacement". In field "Find" enter the expression as shown in the image below. Field "Replaced by" leave blank. To make sure that it is really empty, and not occupied, for example, with spaces, place the cursor in it and press the Backspace button on the keyboard until the cursor reaches the left border of the field. In the block "Search Mode" be sure to set the radio button to position "Regular. expressed.". After that you can press "Replace All".
- After you close the search window, you will see that all the tags that were in the text have been found and removed.
- Now it's time to convert to TXT format. click "File" and choose "Save as…" or use a combination Ctrl+Alt+S.
- The save window launches. Open the folder where you want to place the finished text material with the TXT extension. In the area of "File type" choose from the drop down list "Normal text file (*.txt)". Optionally, you can also change the name of the document in the area "File name", but it is not necessary to do so. Then click "Save".
- Now the content will be saved in TXT format and will be located in the area of the file system that the user himself assigned in the save window.
Method 2: AlReader
Not only text editors can reformat an FB2 book into TXT, but also some readers, such as AlReader.
- Start AlReader. Click "File" and choose "Open file".
You can also right-click ( PKM) in the inner area of the reader shell and select from the context menu "Open file".
- Each of these actions initiates the activation of the opening window. Find in it the directory where the original FB2 is located and mark this e-book. Then press "Open".
- The contents of the object will be displayed in the shell of the reader.
- Now you should perform the reformatting procedure. Click "File" and choose "Save as TXT".
Or use an alternative action, which is to click on any internal area of the program interface PKM. Then you need to sequentially go through the menu items "File" and "Save as TXT".
- Compact window activated "Save as TXT". In the area, you can select one of the outgoing text encoding types from the drop-down list: UTF-8 (according to the default) or Win-1251. To start the conversion, click "Apply".
- After that, a message will appear "File converted!", which indicates that the object was successfully converted to the selected format. It will be located in the same folder as the source.
A significant disadvantage of this method over the previous one is that the AlReader reader does not provide the user with the opportunity to choose the location of the converted document, since it saves it in the same place where the source is placed. But, unlike Notepad++, AlReader does not need to bother with deleting tags, since the application performs this action completely automatically.
Method 3: AVS Document Converter
Many document converters, which include AVS Document Converter, cope with the task set in this article.
- Open the program. First of all, you need to add the source. Click on "Add Files" in the center of the converter interface.
You can click on the button of the same name on the toolbar.
For those users who are used to always accessing the menu, there is also an option to launch the add window. Need to click on items "File" and "Add Files".
Those who are closer to the management of "hot" keys, have the ability to use Ctrl+O.
- Any of these actions leads to the launch of the window for adding a document. Find the FB2 book location directory and select this item. Click "Open".
However, you can add the source without launching the opening window. To do this, drag the FB2 book from "Explorer" to the graphic borders of the converter.
- The FB2 content will appear in the AVS preview area. Now you should specify the final conversion format. To do this, in the button group "Output Format" click "In txt".
- You can make minor transformation settings by clicking on the blocks "Format Options", "Convert" and "Extract Images". This will open the corresponding setting fields. In the block "Format Options" you can choose from the drop-down list one of three options for encoding the text of the output TXT:
- UTF-8;
- ANSI;
- Unicode.
- In the block "Rename" you can choose one of the three options in the list "Profile":
- original name;
- Text+Counter;
- Counter+Text.
In the first variant, the name of the resulting object remains the same as that of the source. In the last two cases, the field becomes active "Text" where you can enter the desired name. Operator "Counter" means that if the file names match or if you would apply group conversion, then to the one specified in the field "Text" name will add a number before or after the name, depending on which option was selected in the field "Profile": "Text+Counter" or "Counter+Text".
- In the block "Extract Images" you can extract pictures from the original FB2, since the outgoing TXT does not support the display of pictures. In field "Destination Folder" you should specify the directory in which these pictures will be placed. Then press "Extract Images".
- By default, the output is stored in the catalog "My documents" current user profile, which you can see in the area "Output Folder". If you want to change the location directory of the final TXT, then click "Overview…".
- Activated "Browse folders". Navigate in the shell of this tool to the directory where you want to store the converted material, and click OK.
- Now the address of the selected area will appear in the interface element "Output Folder". Everything is ready for reformatting, so press "Start!".
- The FB2 e-book is being reformatted into TXT text format. The dynamics of this process can be followed by data that are displayed as a percentage.
- After the procedure is completed, a window will appear indicating the successful completion of the conversion, and you will also be asked to move to the storage directory of the received TXT. To do this, press "Open. folder".
- Will open "Conductor" in the folder where the received text object is placed, with which you can now perform any manipulations available for the TXT format. You can view it with the help of special programs, edit, move and perform other actions.
The advantage of this method over the previous ones is that the converter, unlike text editors and readers, allows you to process a whole group of objects at the same time, thereby saving a significant amount of time. The main drawback is that the AVS application is paid.
Method 4: Notepad
If all the previous methods for solving the task involved installing special software, then when working with the built-in text editor of Windows Notepad, this is not required.
- Open Notepad. In most versions of Windows, this can be done via the button "Start" in the folder "Standard". click "File" and choose "Open…". It is also suitable to use Ctrl+O.
- The opening window is launched. Required to see the FB2 object, in the field for specifying the type of formats from the list, select "All files" instead of "Text Documents". Find the directory where the source is located. After selecting it from the drop-down list in the field "Encoding" choose an option "UTF-8". If, after opening the object, “crazy” is displayed, then try to open it again, changing the encoding to any other, doing similar manipulations until the text content is displayed correctly. After the file is selected and the encoding is specified, click "Open".
- The FB2 content will open in Notepad. Unfortunately, this text editor does not work with regular expressions the way Notepad++ does. Therefore, when working in Notepad, you either have to put up with the presence of tags in the outgoing TXT, or you have to delete them all manually.
- After you have made a decision about what to do with the tags and performed the appropriate manipulations or left everything as it is, you can proceed to the save procedure. Click "File". Next, choose an item "Save as…".
- The save window is activated. Move with it to the directory of the file system where you want to place TXT. Actually, without additional need, no further adjustments can be made in this window, since the type of the saved file in Notepad will in any case be TXT for the reason that this program cannot save documents in any other format without additional manipulations. But if desired, the user has the opportunity to change the name of the object in the area "File name", as well as select the encoding of the text in the area "Encoding" from the list with the following options:
- UTF-8;
- ANSI;
- Unicode;
- Unicode Big Endian.
After all the settings that you consider necessary to perform have been made, click "Save".
- The text object with the TXT extension will be saved in the directory specified in the previous window, where you can find it for further manipulations.
The only advantage of this conversion method over the previous ones is that you do not need to install additional software to use it, you can only use the system tools. In almost all other aspects, manipulations in Notepad are inferior to the programs that were described above, since this text editor does not allow mass conversion of objects and does not solve the problem with tags.
We have examined in detail the actions in separate instances of various groups of programs that can convert FB2 to TXT. For batch conversion of objects, only special converter programs like AVS Document Converter are suitable. But given the fact that most of them are paid, separate readers (AlReader, etc.) or advanced text editors like Notepad ++ are quite suitable for a single conversion in the above direction. In the case when the user still does not want to install additional software, but at the same time the quality of the output result does not bother him much, then the task can be solved even using the built-in Windows OS program - Notepad.
Doc2fb is a small program designed to convert .doc, .txt and .rtf files to fb2 format for readers. The program works on PC (Windows 2000/XP/Vista) and PDA. Provides the ability to work in batch mode. Interface language - Russian.
In order for the application to work, MS Word 2003 must be installed on the PC (this is at least). Javascript must also be available with a version of at least 5 (it is included with IE).
The utility itself is an XSL script and a shell - an HTA application (this is an application that is executed by the browser, in fact, this is a script.)
The program has a simple and intuitive interface. It immediately catches your eye that the program is designed for batch conversion: you can select not a specific file, but only a folder.
The utility is able to highlight chapters and subchapters, format text (italic and bold), links and footnotes, and can also add pictures (for example, the first one as a cover).
Word vector pictures, for example, WMF, are not included in the final file. Raster images, which differ from the JPEG format, are converted to PNG.
The utility menu consists of 3 items: "Files", "Settings" and "Info".
The "Files" item is designed to call the main working page of the shell (it is active immediately after launch). In the "Folder" line, click on the button with the ">>" image, and then select the folder that contains the necessary DOC files. After that, the "convert" button becomes active.
Click on it and voila, the files are quickly converted to FB2.
The progress of the operation will be displayed in the "Log" area, located under the "convert" button.
The settings of the Doc2fb program are very few.
Namely: "Show MS Word during conversion", "Close doc2fb after conversion", and "Delete blank lines" - the purpose of these options is clear without any explanation.
"Replace Line-break with Paragraph-break" - replaces forced line break codes with paragraph ending codes.
What is a forced line break? With this function, the current line breaks, and the text continues on the next line. Suppose that, for example, the paragraph style includes an indent before the first line. To avoid indentation before a short line of text (for example, in writing an address, or in a poem), you need to start a new line each time, and instead of pressing the ENTER key, you just need to insert a forced line break.
“Define footnotes as”, as well as “Define explanations as” - MS Word, before converting to FB2, converts those described by regular expressions () into footnotes and explanations.
“Save changes as document version” - when converting, changes are made to the document. If this option is enabled, these changes will be saved in the document as an edit version.
The scourge of the software tools described above is excessive independence, which manifested itself here as well. Indented verses are defined as citations, and two-line headings are automatically made into two sections, and so on.
In order to help the program find the elements, you can additionally mark up the document. dot-file with the corresponding styles can be found on the page of the author of the program.
In general, the program fully meets its purpose. Despite some self-will, it allows you to quickly convert a fairly large number of files.
