Recent change in InDesign Removes nonprinting layers for export to EPUB

I hate it when the characteristic quiety development teams to 'fix' I learned to rely on.

I use InDesign CC 9.2.

Until a recent update, when I exported a book in EPUB from InDesign layers which have been set to show, but no printing have been included in the export. I relied on this because my documents include a block of the TOC not printed on the first page of each of the parts included in the anthology. This block causes the page to define when generating the table of contents (note this isn't on the page to the title, the title page itself) and is used to print the correct title on the page title of each story and the functioning of the headers throughout the body.

At least until January 2014, when I exported to EPUB, this visible-but-not-print block has been included in the XHTML output. I could then edit CSS to optimize for the e-reader display and title names and the author appears at the top of each piece. Some time in the past two months, that has changed: the layers that are not printed as do not EPUB export. This would not be a problem so important except that the title printed in the picture above also is not output to the EPUB file, because it's a text variable in the underlying master page.

If you like reading and playing with a tag, as I do, the two images illustrate the problem.

The new output:

I have five volumes of the anthology to date (including about 30 stories each) with a new release every three months. Now that this change was thrown against me, I have to get it fixed or get to a good workaround while I have only a few hundred documents to be updated, instead of twice a year.

Thanks for any help or suggestion, you can provide!

Hi Boris,.

Master page items are never exported to EPUB and this behavior has been there since the beginning. The only solution to export these items is to replace them.

Given that this change is not specific to version 9.2, it's not called explicitly in our document of changes but I understand point of pain of the user in which they change their existing to adapt to changes workflow. Although these changes are targeted to a correct behavior, it could hinder the existing workflows in some cases.

Kind regards

  • How do I Center text on a page in indesign CS4 for export to ePub?

    Think, as the dedication page.  It's only two or three lines and you do not want to sit at the top of the page.  Anyone knows how I can center who? Or even add a space above the text?

    It should be a clean page. CS4 is not well designed to create some ePub, but if I remember the only way to start a new page in CS4 is to create a book file and make this page a separate chapter. You can then use a paragraph with a space above style.

    Alternatively, you can edit the CSS.

  • Help! Coverage file is tiny when exported to EPUB for CS4

    Hello. Adobe recommends a file size of the cover of 600 x 800 for export to EPUB of CS4. Problem is when I place the image file in an identity document, its width is less than 2 inches. When the document page export to EPUB, it is this image on a big white page. I tried mounting the image in the frame and tried another object mounting options, but all that happens is the picture explodes and loses res. I could create a page that is very low as the picture, but one page is a basket case with others. I could use a very large image to fill the page ID, but when it exports it's huge. I'm at a loss. Someone knows how to incorporate a coverage file in CS4 to export EPUB? How an image of 600 x 800 t file fill a page?

    (1) inDesign is an application of serious PAO, not an HTML editor or something, so that it uses the resolution of your image file when it is placed in a document. An image of 600 x 800 pixels with a typical resolution of 300 dpi will come as a 2 x 2.5 inches. Maybe your image is stored with an even higher resolution. http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_resolution gives a good overview of "what is the resolution.

    A pixel is not a physical measure - some screens have larger pixels, some smaller, some more and some less. The measure of 'Pixel' in identity card is a white lie - added Adobe because that typographically-challenged people have complained "which is a point, and why I should know what it is?

    (2) Fortunately, it is easy to "fix." Intensify the image frame in InDesign. Do not move it to the top in Photoshop, that is, do not add even more pixels - you should have enough.

    (3) is why ID your ugly picture? ID is oriented to the fast processing of documents, and a document can contain dozens, or even hundreds of images. If all those who are redesigned each time on the right scale, with pixel precision, and with all of the graphic effects applied, you wouldn't be able to scroll through your document. Compare Photoshop: who can get slow with even a single image. ID made a low resolution "preview" of all charts and this image instead. You really, really want, you can always force to "show all": http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6bb8a.html

    Of course, this only applies to the drawing of the screen; When printing or exporting to PDF, the full resolution is used. (Unless you want - but which is the subject of other options, not by the quality of the preview screen).

  • Navigation bar for image export to ePub for childhood book?

    I see picture books for children to identity card for export to ePub. I saw some of these books on my corner (ePub) who have an image navigation bar that appears at the bottom of the page. Readers can scroll the reduced images of pages quickly on this navigation bar, click on a particular image and go directly to this page. I looked through a lot of tutorials but I don't see any that show how to do this. Can you point me to a tutorial that teaches me how to make this navigation bar?

    Are you sure that these books are not EPUB and PDF? I saw these navigation bars in interactive PDF files. But I do not think that it is supported in the EPUB specification.

    Apple has added a format of fixed layout for books available for iBooks is used for children's books, but it probably wouldn't work on a corner, and I could read (from Liz Castro posts), it does not include a navigation bar.

  • Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

    No Option to install repair - SAD

    Hello

    Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

    I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

    As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

    Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

    -Todd w.

    "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

    «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

    As Todd, is the answer.

    "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

    Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

    "I thought that this area was a place to really get answers instead of the ole same"answers of bs that are on all the other forums."

    It is a place that will try to help you fix your computer if you have problems.  It has technicians in computing, no decision-makers, developers or executives.  We will try to answer technical questions about problems you might have with Windows Vista.

    If you want to have input on the future of Microsoft operating systems, then help you beta-test and provide feedback to the developers.  Windows 7 and IE 8 are currently in beta.

    Another possible place you could make suggestions which could see the developers would be:

  • Stop the "Recently changed" archive in your history folder

    Do all the files that you use or access appear automatically in the folder "recently changed"? Can you stop the files to be indexed in this file?  I also have files that I've trashed and yet they still appear in the recently changed folder.  What can I do about it?  Can I change the properties to stop this archiving of my story?

    There is no list. The system will search the index file and creates it each time you click the search folder. Everything is stored in the search folder are the instructions on how to perform the search.

    The index should contain only references to the files that have been deleted. Maybe now you have reset those will stop to reappear.

    You can also try this Fixit http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_search/en-us

    If you do not want the index must be created, you can use one of the following methods of indexing:

    This can affect performance and remove other features of the system.
