to word, add in page numbers and heading levels (because those do not exist or are poorly done in most bookshare files) and then convert word to PDF, or just give the student the word files.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Noto Sans"">I use a free program called Calibre (also available in a “portable” version in case you don’t have the ability to install software on your computers yourself). It’s designed as a general ebook management
program, but it has really good conversion capabilities. The only issues I’ve had with epub to PDF are that sometimes the conversion will divide pages in odd places, and that there are usually no original page numbers to correspond to the hard copy of the
book.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Noto Sans""><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Noto Sans"">Depending on your time constraints, you might want to convert the epub to .docx, add page breaks manually in Word, and then convert that file to PDF so that you can “recreate” the original publisher
layout for the book, but obviously that’s more time-consuming.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
