Case Study: Pearson Italy converts PDF files to fixed-layout EPUBs with Kotobee

Pearson converts PDFs to fixed-layout EPUBs with Kotobee, enabling AA-compliant digital books

Pearson Italy, part of the Pearson Education group, faced a challenge in converting their educational PDF files into fixed layout EPUB format. Prior to using Kotobee Author, they lacked an in-house solution and had to outsource this work to specialized external companies, which affected their workflow and limited their ability to add interactive elements.

The vendor Kotobee provided a solution that allowed Pearson to convert PDFs into fixed layout EPUBs using an intuitive interface, enabling the addition of interactive hotspots and links to digital assets without requiring deep technical skills from their editorial team. While the editorial team's adaptation had some difficulties and the process was noted as not being as cost-effective as other workflows, Kotobee's support was instrumental during implementation. The solution enhanced Pearson's competitive advantage by providing digital books faithful to their print counterparts with full accessibility features.
