Problems previewing InDesign CS5.5 exported EPUB in Apple iBooks, on an iOS device.

I have problems of creation of EPUB when I use my document InDesign CS 5.5 of my first EPUB book, as a template to create my two other EPUB books.

My client gave me a job that forced me to learn how to do ePub files - and I'm still learning.  I have created three books in Design CS 5.5, for fixed PDF page, with an array of interactive content and a regular EPUB export, with automatic formatting of reperfusion and automated table of contents. These books were not created for printing.

After that I created the premiera and exported successfully to an EPUB, which previewed fine free Adobe additions, I used the first document InDesign CS 5.5 as a model to create the other two publications.  These books have been around 100 pages or less, with little or no imposed jpeg images except covers three books, so I have not created a Book.indb for each publication.  Each book is made in files unique InDesign with their own unique cover on their first page art.

When my client in preview the three books on his iPad in iBooks, all three books show the cover of the first book, when we see them on the set of iBooks library.  Then, when you open them, you see the correct cover for this particular book and the correct inner pages.

When I open each InDesign file and open the tabbed file information dialog box, I have a title of different document for each of the three different books.  When I export to EPUB, the Option to Export EPUB dialog box pops up and I chose "include Document metadata."  I entered the name of the Publisher and a separate for each book Unique identifier, when I export.

After I sent the three files ePub to my iPod Touch, all three presented themselves in my library iBooks, but when we see them on the shelf of the library that they have the first cover of the book on all three.  So, I have an overview of redundant coverage on the library shelf, the iBooks app icons, running in Apple iOS.

I have two books by Elizabeth Castro on creating ePub with InDesign files.  I will read more, especially the part about the preparation of your EPUB for Apple iBook, on iOS.  But I thought I'd share my problem here to see if anyone has a solution for me.  Thank you.

I often find myself answering my own questions, but I'll do once again, this time, while others can learn.  When you export to EPUB in InDesign CS 5.5, a diolog of the Options to Export EPUB appears.  Under "EPUB", select "Image file existing use" and choose the file that was used on the first page of the InDesign document for the new cover of the book.

This feature can cause human error inbedded if you use a book filled with Indesign as a model to create other books because even if you have placed a new cover at the beginning of the book, export options was still chosen for the previous book coverage file you worked on.

In fact, I got the answer to my problem with the help of InDesign Menu, when InDesign CS 5.5 is released.

    Yes. Thank you. I based on another post misled. Successfully done this by selecting 'File', 'save a copy... ". "then choosing"for CS4 or later (IDML).

    He had little patience and several tests, but I think it was because of hardware (memory) overloaded version CC cloud or something. It was a 50 MB, file of 500 pages and took 17 minutes to convert/save,

    Recap: dnuee to CS5, do not use "Export" (IDML); use ' Save as ' or 'Save a copy' and select "for CS4 or later (IDML).

  • InDesign CS5.5 crashes when you delete empty pages. Help!

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with InDesign CS5.5 running on 10.7.5. I have two empty gaps that I need to remove, but every time I try, it asks:

    "The affected pages contain objects. Delete pages anyway? »

    I click OK and InDesign crashes all the time. There is no object on the page, I applied without a master unhid and unlocked everything and he can not know! Does anyone have a solution?

    Thanks in advance!

    Altogether. Resave as .indd (preferably with a new name in order to not replace the old file) didn't continue with the new file. Export to .idml has the effect of eliminating a lot of stuf that does not need to open the file (old record data and previews, which is rewritten) then sometimes it removes any minor problem that happens.

  • InDesign CS5.5 loss of connection to readers + not opening properly

    PROBLEM 1:

    Been having this problem at work for a while and the guy TI must always be able to find a solution.

    Our NAS disk seems to have serious problems with InDesign CS5.5 (and sometimes opportunities as well). I'm working on Windows 7. When you look through files (namely, the thumbnails of the images) on our drive NAS while having an InDesign CS5.5 was the file open, we lose connection on all drive the InDesign file and InDesign crashes. Sometimes little matter what drive the InDesign file is on - crashed when using a file on the NAS drive, but especially when we use a file on a separate network drive. More often than otherwise the InDesign file has nothing to with the NAS at all, no linked images or something like that to him. The error message reads:

    The network connection has been lost for the file... W:\DESIGN...etc, or the file has been modified by another process.

    The details of the NAS disk are:

    NAS is a NETGEAR ReadyNAS NVX Pioneer Edition [X-RAID2]

    Firmware is RAIDiator 4.2.8

    In my view, there must be a particular problem with the NAS drive, however we never seem to lose connection when using other programs Adobe, just InDesign. In saying that, Outlook will sometimes lose connection to I drive our email PST files to sit as well during the same InDesign error.

    Anyone has had similar problems or suggestions for what could be the cause?

    PROBLEM 2:

    We often need several goes to get actually InDesign to open a file correctly. For me, if I click on an InDesign file to open it, InDesign opens and I see that the file is semi there but the work plan everything is gray and I can't click on anything and finally just turns into "NOT RESPONDING" and I have to force quit and restart. Sometimes this happens several times before actually open. It's really frustrating and a huge waste of time!

    There are 3 designers in our office and we have all 3 these two problems occur sometimes several times a day.

    Data sheet:

    Adobe InDesign CS5.5

    Windows 7 (PC - ick!)

    Intel Xeon processor W3550 to 3.07 GHz

    16 GB OF RAM

    64-bit operating system

    NAS is a NETGEAR ReadyNAS NVX Pioneer Edition [X-RAID2]

    Firmware is RAIDiator 4.2.8

    The error "the network connection has been lost" is actually a function implemented in InDesign by design. It is a protection mechanism that occurs when InDesign cannot write to the file in question for several different reasons. By stopping us do our best to preserve your integrity of files through the restore function. If we don't stop the process you could damage your files with bad writing of data.

    It is found to occur for various reasons, ranging from questions of switch in loose cables business environments. No amount of patching in this time will fix it, it's normally something that will have to be studied and solved on the networking side of things.

    Our engineers are looking at options to help this problem in the future by adding a delay and with InDesign to double-check before moving on to the judgment as an update for the software, but most of the time it's something that needs to be resolved on the side network.

  • Export epub CS5.5: class apparently semi-aleatoric rename

    Hello

    I ran into a problem where when I export to epub, while working with a book file, a respective paragraph styles class name is changed.

    so for this instance, I have a paragraph style called 'target the class' which then gets exported to 'target-class' normally. This is how the export works when you export an individual indd file. However, when you export the book, each successive indd file will rename the style. So the first one will be 'target-class', but the second testament gave ' cible-classe-1"troisieme 'target-class-2" and so on and so forth. " It happened not in cs4 or cs5 and its darn annoying. There are also many other settings to export which have created many problems for me. as how indesign like integrate a lot of information in the HTML when I know exactly what I want and do it in css. There should be a way to turn some of that judgment.

    In any CASE, someone has a solution for this problem, or just I have to slug through and redefine the name in the export options dialogue of the paragraph style.

    Thank you!

    Bit hard to say without seeing the files, but when this sort of thing has happened to me, it is because in a single document in a book some of the styles is not export tags together. I thought they did, but after seeing the names of style being renamed in the HTML, I realized that I had missed some. You can double check that.

    True, you have to "Change all the tags to export" in a single document, but you can then synchronize on the book. NB to be sure of that make sure that my source in the book document contains all the styles for the book, even though some of then are not used in this document. In this way, I know that I have to change one of the styles in one place (and then synchronize).

    Agreed - jobs that we begin in CS5.5 will have this kind of thing configuration from the start. He is transplant CS5.5 export tags in documents done CS4 or CS5 which causes problems.

  • plugin InDesign cs5.5 problem

    I have indesign cs3 with xmpie, is a utility that makes the variable data. I am now on cs5.5 and whenever I open a document that I worked on in indesign cs3, I get a missing plugin error and turns to file in a single document reading with [converted] at the end of the file name. It's really annoying whenever I try to re - register the file.  Is there a way to get rid of it.

    Hi Jesse,.

    Thanks for this question, I had the same problem with XMPie a few years ago. Here's the work around:

    1. open the file in InDesign CS5.5 (or your latest version of InDesign)

    2 export the file as an IDML

    3. open the IDML and save on your existing InDesign file.

    I hope this helps.

  • interactive PDF using Indesign CS5.5 problem with overlay

    Hi all

    I designed an interactive pdf - not for the web. I have a stratification of problem on a page. On the page, there are 6 buttons. Each key pressed will propose a box containing information and content. When I designed the page using indesign cs5.5, I did so that most information box has been at the top of the layer. I thought this would be the cleanest way to present the page. By having the largest area of content (each of the six boxes of content are different sizes) in the upper part, it would cover the other boxes. When I exported the file to the smallest box was the head, and then the secondest etc. It seems pretty messy.

    Is there a way to make sure that the lagest content area is upstairs when it exported in pdf format?

    Concerning

    Have patience!

    Have you tried to put this bigger box on its own layer at the top?  I don't know much about buttons etc but if you expect someone coming here makes.  A large number of contributors are in zones different, but...

  • Export PDF freezes InDesign CS5

    I'm having a random freeze problem when you export a PDF file in InDesign. I export the file and it goes in background processing. I try to close the file and InDesign said that the background operation still works and that I can not close the file. I have check the background task window and the PDF is still of the distillation. I let it go for about 30 minutes and nothing happens. The footprint of the PDF file shows 0. InDesign won't let me stop the process in background window (or at least when I click on the 'x' nothing happens), and the only way I can get out is to force InDesign to quit smoking. When I re - open the file and try again, InDesign exports PDF without problem.

    This happened with 2 different types of files in the last day. First time was a magazine page... 50 pages have been'd up queue to export files PDF and stops the whole process on a single page. After an hour or two, I had to leave the force and start over, and all exported without any problem. This most recent gel was a stand-alone file of relatively small ads. Both times there were no errors before the indicated flight.

    Someone else has this problem and is there something I could do in addition to the strength to quit smoking?

    Thanks in advance for your help.
