All my attempts so far to generate the table of contents for Kindle (.mobi) failed. Can anyone help?

I used InDesign CC to create an epub file and the TOC and the Navigation bar appear perfectly in Adobe Digital Editions (version 3.0). Then I saved the file to the IDML format open InDesign CS6 and use the Kindle Plugin to create a mobi file. I use the same style of table materials used to create the epub file, but although Kindlegen validates the file, the table of contents is unable to generate. I've been on several discussion forums and many people express problems by having their TOC displayed in Kindle Previewer. Can anyone help?

Hello

Kindle requires a separate html file for OCD and even must be referenced in the guide in content.opf element. In your InDesign CC document, generate the table of contents on a page and make sure the option 'Make the anchor text to the source paragraph' is checked.

Now export the EPUB 3 file. Open EPUB in Sigil (it's a free EPUB editor of Google). Menu Goto tools-> Table of contents-> generate HTML Table of contents. This creates a new xhtml file and automatically adds the element of guidance in content.opf like this:

Save EPUB and open directly into Kindle Previewer. Table of contents option must be turned on now and should work.

Please try and let me know if it works.

Kind regards

    With FrameMaker 2015. When I generate the table of contents from a new .book, I get blank pages between each page of the table of contents, they are totally blank does not even a block of text. I click on Add> autonomous Create TOC. I keep the default settings. And that's what I'm left with.

    Master Pages are part of each document.

    You can import master pages from another document (i.e. a ' model') in your current document using the file > import > Formats... option and select layout from the list (deselect all others).

    If you have changed the current TOC for the problem of the Page Master on the left, then simply save the file and use the Edit > update book option for that OCD regenerated by using the new page templates.

  • Generate the table of contents with chapter markers?

    It has been a while since I had to install and create a table of contents for a long document of single file, but I'm sure that I created TOCs in this way in the past. Then, why the text in the Section markers will appear in the table of contents? It is even possible to generate a table of contents that contains text of article marker?

    I use InDesign CS5 in Windows. I have a file single document I'm trying to generate a table of contents for. I designed a 16-page manual in an inDesign file that includes a cover page, table of contents page and seven "chapters."

    I created a separate section for each 'chapter' and used Chapter markers in the top of the page master for chapter names. It's something I did in the past of syntactically long documents containing several chapters.

    I put the first page of each 'chapter' as a new Section on the Pages panel. In numbering and Section Options for each page, I checked the Section getting started, Automatic Page numbering, the Style of Page numbering: 1,2,3,4... and in Section marker: I put the name of 'chapter' in the text box.

    InDesign_Pages_NumberingSectionOptions.jpg

    I've set up paragraph and character Styles and has used throughout my document. When I put in place the table of contents I created everything correctly, including a heading style that I used for all the sub lines in my file and my style of Section marker for chapter names.

    InDesign_TOC.jpg

    When I insert the table of contents, generate headers sub with their page numbers, but the titles of the chapters which are chapter markers do not generate. Am I missing something or is it still possible to enter the text of chapter markers in a table of contents? I'm sure that he's worked in the past. Can anyone offer a solution for this?

    Thank you

  • How can I display the table of contents for the iPod Touch to 6

    When I opened first of all iPod Touch Users' Guide, I used the table of contents (TOC) to locate and access sections in the manual. But, after looking through the manual for awhile, I tried to return to the table of contents, but it wasn't there! I have tried various things to see if the table of contents are being hidden, or if in some way, it has been deleted. Anyone can shed light on this mysterious event?

  • FM10 cannot generate the table of contents with main points

    Hello world

    I've read some useful discussions here on this issue but I still can not to be able to solve this problem of main points for my OCD.

    I already assured that the reference for all my image in my book files have the same reference table of contents of the page entry page. When I generate my OCD the main points are missing!

    I then, open the reference page for the TOC file and paste in the same entries of table of contents of my other image files and then update the book to regenerate the table of contents.

    Also, this does not solve the problem.

    Any help to fix this would be really appreciated!

  • [CS5 Server/JSX] Generate the table of contents at the beginning of the document

    Hello

    The following script generates a table of contents:

    
      myTOCStyle = myDocument.tocStyles.itemByName("TOC");
      myMasterSpread = myDocument.masterSpreads.item("A-Master");
      myTocPage = myDocument.pages.add(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, myMasterSpread);
      myIndexFrame = myDocument.textFrames.lastItem();
      myBounds = myIndexFrame.geometricBounds;
      myX1 = myBounds[1];
      myY1 = myBounds[0];
      myDocument.createTOC(myTOCStyle, true, undefined, [myX1, myY1]);
    
    

    When I run this Script on the InDesign CS5 server, it generates a table of contents, but it is not placed on the page just added at the beginning. It is placed on the first page containing the content where the table of contents is generated from. Also the added page at the beginning does not contain the elements of the master page, it's just a page of blanco.

    When I run this Script on InDesign CS5 to office, the table of contents are placed on the first page added with this script. Also, does this page contain master page items!

    How is it possible to place the table of contents (with overflow text) before the first page containing the content. The page that contains the table of contents should contain elements of the master page.

  • Customize the table of contents for epub book

    Hello

    I have a book in ID CS6 file, containing ten chapters, each in its own starting with style heading 1 to "Chapter 1", "2", "Chapter 3" etc. It also contains more documents to cover, notes copyright, acknowledgement of receipt, info editor etc. (not quite formatted).

    Well, when I export to epub and open it in Adobe Digital Editions a table of contents is generated from all the documents, the names of files.

    Is it possible to exclude the entries, I want to be there?

    In addition, I can control the text of each entry? for example, the "cr.indd" file, I want the Notes"copyright" text in TOC.

    Thank you

    Short answer: you can control the TOC navigation by creating a table of contents Style (layout > Style of Table of contents) and including a paragraph style that you want that pulls the titles that you want in the table of contents.

    Then call on this Style of table of contents in the general Panel of the EPUB export dialog box.

    Looks like you need to get some basic information on creating ePub files. Here are the two best sources I know:

    (1) the books of Elizabeth Castro:

    http://www.elizabethcastro.com/EPUB/

    (2) videos of Anne-Marie Concepcion on Lynda.com. She produced videos on creating EPUB from InDesign CS5, 5.5, and 6. www.Lynda.com. (if Bob Levine sees this, it will add a free link of the week for Lynda.com).

    Hi DonDonaldo,

    5. If updates are found, clickinstall updates. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    If the previous steps do not solve the problem, you can reinstall .NET Framework manually, but the steps are intended for advanced users. If you are not comfortable performing these steps, ask a friend to help you. You will find the steps in the article toreinstall .NET Framework on the Microsoft Web site.
