Page2Pub is a pair of applications that collect content from the web and reformat it for publication across a wide range of media.

Optimized for harvesting content from wiki platforms, the beta version of Page2Pub lets you gather and transform web content into a print-ready PDF book in just five easy steps:

1. Install the Page2Pub Firefox Add-On
2. Browse the Web & Gather Content
3. Save the Content you gather in the EPub (Open eBook) Format
4. Edit the Content (reorder and remove chapters, add metadata)
   
5. Export the EPub to the Page2Pub Render System & Publish Your Book!

Page2Pub consists of two pieces:

1. The Page2Pub Firefox Add-On
   This add on allows you to gather whole pages, and sections of web pages, as you are browsing the web. The application saves the content locally as an Open EPub document. The browser add-on also allows you to edit the contents of your EPUB.
2. The Page2Pub Render System
   Using Java and Adobe AIR, the render tool transforms the EPub into a locally saved print ready PDF book.

You can download Page2Pub here.

The Page2Pub applications run on Windows XP, Vista, and 7 and also on 64-bit Intel processor Macs (Core 2 series or later). You can find complete system compatibility information on the Download Page.
