  • How to export a layout Epub fixed without encrypting the files of fonts?

    When I export to a fixed provision ePub and you later want to convert it to a Kindle format fonts in the /META-INF/encryption.xml file are not retrieved correctly. How can I tell InDesign do not encrypt the font files and incorporate instead?

    The CSS has nothing to do with encryption. If your font (ttf or otf) is applied in InDesign, the fontface markup will be automatically generated by InDesign and this markup does not matter whether or not the police is encrypted/hidden.

    If you have used fonts under SIL Open Font License (OFL) license (Linotype, FontFont,... are not lic. under SIL!), you can extract the contents of your ePub, replace the font files included here, with the original font files and delete the encryption.xml file. Then you can convert it to Kindle. Of workaround does not work with typekit, skyfonts or services because you don't have access to the original font files. Over 99% of commercial fonts you cannot replace fonts epub with versions not encrypted, so be careful here. Please take a look first at the following discussion to see what might be allowed to do or not because you often have restrictions on moving or commercial license font embedding: A Solution to fonts...

  • How can I generate my own InDesign ePub file without the encryption.xml file?

    My Bookstore (B & N) will not accept my ePub file because it does not want the encryption.xml file included. How can I generate a file InDesign ePub, for my own books, without him? Is there a box somewhere? I searched through the ePub export area and boxes of file information, no luck.

    Error message from PubIt.com B & N:

    We found a file name called encryption.xml in your container of EPUB, which refers to the part, or all, your file is encrypted. We do not accept any encryption in source ePub files. After the closure of this message, please remove the file encryption.xml your ePub and you can try to download your ePub file again.

    If you want to apply DRM to your title, go to Section 4, question H and select Yes. PubIt! apply DRM to your title once you have downloaded your ePub without encryption file.

    Thanks for your help...

    Sorry I wasn't clear. Do not embed fonts at all. No matter what.

    Here's what I did:
    1. place all the files I want encrypted in a folder.
    2. I right click the folder, and then click "Properties".
    3. I click on "Advanced".
    4. in the menu 'Attributes' advanced, it doesn't let me check the "Encrypt contents to secure data".
    If there is someone who could help me in this problem, I am grateful gladly.

  • If you are looking for how to encrypt PDF with certificate

    Hello

    I'm looking for any documentation that explains clearly how encrypt/decrypt; in my case:

    -a person does PDF (with her small hands and Acrobat 9 Pro) and to quantify;

    -the document is attached to a Microsoft Sharepoint Portal;

    -users who have the certificate on this computer can read.

    The idea is to secure the documents inside the area and when the users come back home with a key player that contains an encrypted PDF file, they cannot read.

    I tried in several ways: using AD local certificate made with Acrobat, but even on the same computer with different user profiles, I can encrypt, but not decrypt.

    Any help would be appreciated.
