Source-backed checks

What the page verifies against

• EPUB output is judged as ebook structure, not a text dump W3C EPUB 3.3 is a Recommendation dated January 13, 2026 that defines EPUB as a distribution and interchange format for digital publications and documents. That is why the preview checks headings, navigation, metadata, images, and reading order instead of only checking whether text was extracted. W3C EPUB 3.3 Recommendation
• PDF source files are page-oriented, so reflow has to be inspected The Library of Congress format description for PDF 1.7 describes PDF as a general document representation language for formatted, page-oriented documents. A file can preserve page appearance while exposing weak ebook structure, so the first pages need a real reflow preview. Library of Congress PDF 1.7 format description
• A useful conversion should leave room for EPUB conformance checks EPUBCheck is the W3C-hosted conformance checker for EPUB publications. For high-value books or documents, validation belongs after preview cleanup and before distribution to readers, Kindle workflows, Kobo workflows, or archives. W3C EPUBCheck
• The page exposes extractable Article, FAQ, and citation signals Google Search Central describes structured data as a standardized format for providing page information. These topic pages expose Article and FAQPage JSON-LD, plus source citations where evidence is present, so crawlers can extract the direct answer and supporting checks.

Cases

Examples this workflow is built around

• Ebook output case The page positions EPUB as the ebook output to test when a reader wants font resizing, reflow, chapter navigation, and a more comfortable long-reading view than a fixed PDF page.
