• ePub (fixed provision) is not on my list of options when I export from InDesign 6 CC

  I am trying to export my file as an ePub (fixed provision), but I am puzzled because when I type 'export' option does not exist! I can export it as an ePub. Each tutorial and scenario troubleshooting that I saw did not this as a problem. Yes, I'm new to InDesign, but I'm a veteran of 15 years photoshop.

  More info about this file:

  I have a 32 page children's book and my settings are for the ipad and digital publishing.

  The pictures are photoshop .pdf, without layers. The text is a custom called "Burvetica", (but I've created a few files, do not use this or any text, and the same problem.)

  There is no transparent photos or layers.

• Hyperlinks not exporting only not in ePub fixed provision for InDesign CC 2014

  I have a magazine created by InDesign with links to various external websites.

  When I export to PDF, hyperlinks work very well. But when I export to ePub fixed provision, none of the hyperlinks (site or electronic mail) works. It's as if they were regular text, not something you can click. Here are the links that are created in the hyperlinks Panel.

  I don't see anything in the screen Options that it would affect... at least nothing I recognize. Unless some sort of file Javascript needs to make hyperlinks to work.

  I'm looking at the resultant ePub in iBooks on my Mac and iPad and get the same results.

  Am I missing something easy here?

  I think that several hyperlinks are not yet supported in EPUB 3 fixed provision.

  See this document on changes to EPUB from InDesign CC 9.2 with InDesign CC 2014:

  http://helpx.Adobe.com/content/dam/help/en/InDesign/InDesign_EPUB_Changes_CC_9.2_to_10.0.p df

  On page 21 the current limits of the EPUB 3 available are fixed. Don't forget it's version 1 of EPUB 3 fixed provision, and this will probably change in future upgrades:

  Hyperlink text are not currently supported.

  Hyperlinks on PageItems are supported only on the Images and only for the destinations of the URL.

  Note: Hyperlinks to a Page or anchor text are not supported at this time.

• Links and fonts in Genereated fixed provision EPUB MOBI files

  I have a fixed provision created in ID CC2014 epub that works as expected. The use of kindlegen to create my mobi file. Hyperlinks in text do not work (image links work very well) and @font-face statement does not work.

  The tags are displayed as I expect when I unzip the epub and review the code. I tried to make it simple ID link and edit the code. None worked. I can ad a link tag to an image in the .xhtml file that works as expected. A button hides the text and does not work as well. Is a hyperlink, a known issue with ID EPUB going mobi?

  There is a @font-face in the css file and a folder of fonts containing the fonts there. Is this a known issue with ID EPUB going mobi?

  Steve, thanks for the input it was useful.

  After a few days to dissect the xhtml and the css generated from the ID, I was able to find a solution by adding TT fonts in the @font face and remove the kit web css for related words. If somebody needs specific information about the workflow, message me and I'll be happy to share.

• 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 to convert a print InDesign EPUB document?

  I'm learning...

  I produced a book printed in the format 6 x 9 "and now wants to publish a corresponding ebook. Setting up a new document allows the opening of Digital Publishing, I do not see a conversion function.

  I tried to open a new document for Digital Publishing and Place the printed book in the pages, but only one place page. I had added the total number of pages in the document, there was room to move forward.

  How can this be achieved?

  Thanks for the references of my titles on lynda.com Derek!

  That's all, so source of confusion for new users, you have my sympathy Dennis, but soon it will emerge. I think that a main thing, is that usually no need to start over. Just do a save slot for your printing doc and autour mess with here, then export to epub. Especially if you go at fixed disposal. Keep it in a 6 "by 9" and the export of single - or-(spreads) pages as an EPUB.

  I have a number of titles on lynda.com on creating the files ePub, everything for the beginning/intermediate ebook designers. The three most common are:

  Creation of layout fixed EPUB with InDesign CC

  This is for InDesign CC and CC 2014 and explains how to convert an EPUB of provision fixed an InDesign layout. It includes a full chapter on using interactive elements (animations, slideshows, cross-references, etc.) as well as a complete work around some issues chapter. And I shows how to crack open and add simple code to make things that InDesign can't do (yet) like integrate a video hosted remotely.

  InDesign CC: EPUB Foundation

  This warranty covers create ebooks EPUB 2 and 3 of the EPUB recomposable more typical of InDesign, which requires much more preparation for the InDesign file as ch-layout (but it is much more widely supported that the Fixed-Layout format is). This includes converting the file into a Kindle Book too, that you can't do with a layout fixed epub.

  Create a fixed layout EPUB

  I wrote and recorded this a few years before InDesign took in charge the export format. It shows how to create an EPUB fixed layout from scratch - I show how to write HTML files yourself and includes a template to help you get started. There are chapters on the conversion of PDF files and earlier versions of InDesign at fixed disposal too.

  All these include free sample movies, but you will need a subscription to lynda.com to see all the films. You can usehttp://lynda.com/freepass/amconcepcion for a free trial week. You will however need to give them your credit card at the front and do not forget to cancel before the road of the week.  However, the sub is only $25 / month and you can cancel after one month, it's a good deal.

  You should check InDesignSecrets.com, InDesign Magazineand ePubSecrets.com for more current info on InDesign and EPUB.

  I hope some of these help!

• Why the strange Indesign epub air files in ADE3?

  I tried to do a few simple epub, trial fixed layout in Indesign files, then view them in Adobe Digital Editions 3. A folder contained a page of text formatted with paragraph styles and a picture from within Photoshop. The other file was just text pasted from Word without any formatting to Indesign. In both cases, increased the number of pages (10 and 5, respectively) that the text became very large. The procedure to make the epub fles is quite simple and I do not see where I am going wrong. Thanks, Neil

  Because the current version of ADE is not yet in charge EPUB3 and fixed provision correctly.

• How to create a layout ePub fixed?

  I am trying to create a book of photographs to sell as an ePub on the kindle store - I did a lot of iBooks and published in the iBookstore - unfortunately it recently was rejected because Apple censorship rules. My books exactly the look I want to do in iBooks and want to recreate as much as possible to sell in the mobi and EPUB. I noticed that unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a program similar to iBooks to author of ePub files... I tried InDesign CS6 for EPUB but moved to Pages that I thought that it would be simpler.

  So far I can't find anything that explains step by step how to make fixed provision EPUB - in any program - usually I use Lynda.com but they only fixed layout files ePub for the iBookstore. My knowledge of inDesign and iBooks author is pretty good but my knowledge about HTML is limited. Is - this accomplishable?

• 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.

  Take care, Mike

• Fixed provision Epub: 1st left page still empty.

  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here.

  I'm under the latest edition of InDesign 2014 CC.

  Basically I want the 1st page of the document to be on the left side of the spread, so that my supposed graphics that I placed in the document. Like this:

  

  However, after that I exported the fixed layout Epub file, I get this result, with the first page on the right side of spread instead:

  

  I tried export options, "Based on the presentation of the document" and "activate the synthetic Spreads." I used the option to export export range '2-9', hoping that he would start on page 2 (first page of the story). And I also tried to change the layout so that the first page is page 1 in the InDesign layout... all with the same result.

  

  If you can throw me a BONE here, I'd be very happy.

  Thank you

• Fixed provision ePub - please help me embed videos and/or use overlay Folio with web content

  Hello

  I have a file In Design to create a printed book (11 "x 11") and decided to use CC 2014 to create a layout fixed ePub 3 for a digital version.  I converted the book on minor issues of having to change the font and it is very beautiful.

  I want to add videos at the end of the book to take advantage of the flexibility of the digital format.  I create a slideshow of my photos year-end and host them on Vimeo.

  I tried the following:

  Using the standard Vimeo include the code in an HTML element

  The use of the old flash Vimeo embed code and conversion to HTML - worked great on iBooks on Mac but not on iPhone/iPad as based on flash

  Accommodation and a link to the videos on my own web server and using the media - link to video mp4 file

  Accommodation and a link to the videos on my old server of smugmug.com photo

  I can integrate real videos, but to their smaller size, they increase the file size of the ePub to 78 MB, 400 MB...

  I thought then that I would use an Overlay Folio - Web Content.

  The idea is to use this blank page on my site that would look for all purposes useful to another white page in the book - 2012 slideshow - Oren photography

  The overlay works in preview but not Folio when exporting as an ePub

  Is this a limitation of the ePub format?

  Any help/advice/suggestions on fixing this are greatly appreciated.

  E

  The format of Vimeo is not supported when you place in InDesign.

  Overlays using Folio is a feature of the DPS, which is not supported in EPUB files.

  With the help of streaming video is not a good idea because it presupposes that the EPUB reader is connected to the Internet. Most people expect an EPUB content will be autonomous.

  I would like to used embedded in MP4 format videos, but use Adobe Media Encoder to Downsample to reduce their file size.

  A slideshow of images should be no problem, and you can create them with the Group of objects. You can create buttons to control the slide show display.
