Some may be appropriate for site. Others would be for our private use.
If anyone can help make modules please let me know.

Depending on the quality of you digital books, there are many of here that can convert them to e-Sword. If you would like me to take a look at what you have e-mail me a couple of samples to billhuff2002@yahoo.com. I will let you know if the quality is easy to convert.

I have been able to convert some things to rtf easily. Other things have had challenges.
Books could be the easiest to convert to modules if the pdf becomes text easily. Otherwise it may require other options like ocr.
Bibles dictionaries and commentaries are likely more time consuming. Because of the linking.
In the past I have been able to automate putting some formatting in with a perl script. However there needs to a pattern for that to work and one might lose other formatting in text process.
Im not sure how most do it or who has interest in that.
Someone who I shared some works with told me that they were able to ocr some things but I have not seen the results. If those results would be helpful and we're able to accomplish something then I'll try giving them a loving reminder.

With the PDF files you can try and PDF to MS-Word format conversion, if the conversion is successful the MS-Word format file can then be saved in rtf format

If it is a pdf of images than that alwayss requires ocr.
One of my documents needing help is an image pdf which would require ocr. Another is text based and the English translates but the Hebrew doesn't.

Doesn't always require ocr. With the right conversion utility/program, one
can convert the image to text, just need a converter that will convert to
.docx format and preserve the text formatting at the same time. I have had
some luck with that, but takes a lot longer. Each image/page in Word has
to be save usually as a .jpg file then run through a utility that will convert it
to text. There are some free online apps that will do that, but still, if it's a
500 page book, to convert 500 image files individually to text files will take
a while.... It can be done.. I've done it, but don't have the patience to do
it for a very large book.
