Convert AEH to EPUB

Understanding the AEH and EPUB file formats

AEH files are project files created by Help & Manual, a popular help authoring tool. These files store help documentation projects, including text, images, and formatting, but are not intended for direct reading on e-readers.

EPUB (Electronic Publication) is a widely used eBook format compatible with most e-readers, tablets, and smartphones. EPUB files support reflowable content, making them ideal for digital books and manuals.

Why convert AEH to EPUB?

Converting AEH to EPUB allows you to distribute your help documentation or manuals as eBooks, making them accessible on a wide range of devices and platforms.

How to convert AEH to EPUB

Since AEH is a proprietary project format, direct conversion tools are rare. The recommended approach is to export your AEH project to a more common format (like HTML or PDF) using Help & Manual, and then convert that export to EPUB.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open your AEH project in Help & Manual.
2. Go to File → Publish and select HTML or PDF as the output format.
3. Export your project to the chosen format.
4. Use a file converter like Calibre to convert the exported HTML or PDF to EPUB:
• Open Calibre and click Add books to import your HTML or PDF file.
• Select the imported file and click Convert books.
• Choose EPUB as the output format and start the conversion.
