When looking to migrate legacy content to an eBook format (and you have a few choices), there is always the concern of how well automated tools can give good results with negligible clean–up required as a post–conversion activity.
This presentation reviews what an automated approach can (and can't) do, issues that are best dealt with pre–conversion, and issues that are best dealt with post–conversion. The session is presented by Mark Gross and Devorah Bloom of Data Conversion Laboratory, about DCL's specification process and how to prepare for the best possible conversion experience. Learn about the kinds of things that you should consider in advance, and the kinds of preparations you can make in order to make the changeover process easier with no surprises.
