Convert PDB EBOOK to ASCIIDOC

The PDB (Palm Database) file extension, associated with PalmDoc eBooks, is a format used for storing eBooks on Palm OS devices. Originating from AportisDoc, PalmDoc files are plain ASCII text compressed using Run-Length Encoding (RLE) to save memory space. These files are decompressed on the fly by PalmDoc readers, facilitating efficient storage and quick access. The PDB format, with its Creator ID and Type attributes, ensures compatibility across various Palm applications, making it a versatile choice for eBook distribution on Palm devices.

The ASCIIDOC file extension stands for Ascii Document. It is a lightweight markup language used for writing documentation, articles, books, and technical content in plain text. Created in 2002 by Stuart Rackham, AsciiDoc supports structured, human-readable formats that can be converted into various output formats like HTML, PDF, and DocBook. Its simplicity and flexibility make it a preferred choice for developers and technical writers, enabling efficient content creation and collaboration.
