Fixed layout ePub exporting text issues.

Hello, i'm new to the ePub Fixed layout. When i export my project i get something like this:
Font size changes, i have looked for troubleshooting but nothing so far.
When i export into pdf or epub reflow, text seems to be fine, however, on my project, i need it to be Fixed layout.
Thanks in advance

Hey there Ellis, thank you for your reply, however, that was not the problem. I already had ADE 4.0.
The real problem was that my indesign wasn't updated, after the update it exported perfectly. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.

  • Indesign CC 2014 Fixed-Layout Epub exported great for iBooks.  Can I do the same for Kindle?

    I have read a lot about being able to edit the Epub code in a Fixed-Layout Indesign CC exported Epub.  This Epub works great in IBooks. What I read said I could clean up the
    code so it works for Kindle.  But I can't figure out what code needs to be cleaned out.  How can I export it correctly or clean it up?
    Hope someone here knows,
    Thanks for the help in advance,

    Monica,
    Thanks for your response.
    I tried again as you suggested.
    I exported a Fixed Layout ePub (exported size ~29mb) and tried to load it on an Mac, iPad and iPhone 5s. The results are inconsistent. On the Mac, I received a message that the file was corrupt. On the iPad, the file did eventually load (the quality of the output is another discussion - sneak preview, it's not as good as Circular Flo. Lots of weird stuff). On the iPhone 5s, iBooks is still spinning and has been for about 10 minutes.

  • Missing "bookmarks" option in fixed-layout-epub export panel-?

    Hi everyone, I'm having an issue exporting a fixed layout epub with bookmarks.
    The "Bookmarks" option is not present/visible/showing up in the export options: I only have "none", "file name", "Multi level". But I do have bookmarks in the document.
    I had canceled old bookmarks and recreated them, but nothing changed.
    I really can't figure out the what the problem is!
    Any suggestion will be really appreciated… Thanks.

    I understand that you need the newest version (InDesign CC 2014.1) to accomplish what you want with EPUB.
    But if you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can download BOTH that version (the current one) AND also install InDesign CC (which came out in 2013), as well as InDesign CS6. All can be installed simultaneously!
    As I described above, I think you unintentionally muffed it by installing a trial on top of your installation. Both should be uninstalled.
    Then with Creative Cloud install the latest version and make sure it's working.
    To download an older version from Creative Cloud, select the Apps menu in the CC application. Scroll down till you see "Filters & Version" In that section, you will see the older versions which you can also install.

  • No fixed-layout EPUB export at 144ppi?

    Just curious. I created a nice EPUB in InDesign, all my images are full-page/screen, 1024x768. I exported it as a fixed-layout EPUB and specified 150ppi to cover the iPad's Retina resolution. However, Apple's iBooks wouldn't accept it due to the pixel dimensions being too large. I had to re-export at 96ppi (which was then accepted on iBooks Store). I was hoping for 144ppi, which would be equivalent to an iPad's retina resolution (2048x1536), but it's not an option in the pulldown menu. Am I off-track here? Any idea if this needs to be addressed? Thank you.

    Currently InDesign does not let you enter your preferred resolution  while exporting. it has to be from the available choices-72,96,150,300 ppi.
    To allow the user to be able to pick his own resolution setting is something which is in our backlog for EPUB Enhancements and might get addressed in later updates.

  • Interactivity samples in fixed-layout epub exported from InDesign!

    Hi,
    Make an Indesign "Print" file and several seconds after, send your client a real interactive fixed-layout epub.
    To do it for free, just take a look for samples to Fanfan la Tulipe, searching "fanfan michel allio" on iTunes! 

    Hi,
    Have you applied superscript via Control Panel or Character Panel's fly out menu? I am asking this because if you have specified via open type settings, then this will not be honored.

  • Indesign Fixed Layout EPUB Export problems

    I am trying to export a fixed layout book using InDesign. I used the InDesign CC2014. I am working on a PC. I can read my previously hand-coded version done with Dreamweaver and validated with Pagina using the Firefox epub reader extension.
    The exported version from InDesign does not have fixed text. The text has spread out all over the page and some of the words are actually scrambled. Some letters are on top of each other. The file itself validates with no errors using Pagina. But it is not readable as fixed layout using the Firefox Epub Reader Extension.
    Is this a problem with my epub reader? Or is this a problem with the export?
    Has anyone tested a file on a PC with an epub reader other than Calibre or Readium?

    Hello,
    I just tested on Readium and it looks fine there using the Readium app on Google Chrome. (PC version). I'm not releasing books on Apple, so I will not be testing on Mac.
    I will probably be testing for Kobo, I was hoping for a browser extension on Mozilla that it would work on.
    Many thanks,

  • Is it possible to script Fixed Layout EPUBs export?

    For example using Javascript:
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.EPUB, File("PathToBook.epub"), false);
    Gives a version 2 EPUB which is not what i'm after... i'm after an EPUB3.
    Maybe an epubExportPreferences parameter.. or something?
    Is there an API for CC 2014?

    There is some docuemntation for InDesign CC-2014 v10.0 (explicitly NOT for v10.1):
    InDesign ExtendScript API (10.0)
    Do your own documentation, if you like to:

  • How to create a fixed Layout ePub?

    I'm trying to create a photography book to sell as an ePub and on the kindle store - I've made plenty of iBooks and published them in the iBookstore - unfortunately one has recently been rejected because of Apple's censorship rules. My books look exactly the way i want them to in iBooks and want to recreate them as closely as possible to sell as mobi and epubs. I've noticed that unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a program similar to iBooks Author for making epubs... I've tried InDesign CS6 for epubs but moved to Pages as I thought it might be simpler.
    So far I can't find any thing that explains step by step how to make fixed Layout epubs - in any program- usually I use Lynda.com but they only have fixed layout epubs for the iBookstore. My knowledge on inDesign and iBooks author is quite good but my knowledge on HTML is limited. Is this accomplishable?

    Hi Douglas,
    How do this?

  • Fixed Layout EPUB is not displaying correctly in any of the popular epub readers.

    Hi,
    After creating the doc in the Indesign cc, I exported it to the fixed layout epub format. The result was catastrophic! The images, text, font size - everything was chaos. I needed the epub to be working in ipads and android tablets.
    Can anybody help? Need to deliver it to my customer on priority.
    I tried the output in ibooks, Aldiko, ADE and a few other popular readers.
    Thx
    VJ

    Hi Ananda,
    Adobe Digital Editions has come up with a new update ADE 4. You can view your Fixed Layout EPUB here. Please note that ADE 4 on Mac works fine with FXL EPUB exported from InDesign CC 2014, you might see some issue on Windows though. We are aware of the issues and the team is working on fixing these issues with ADE on Windows.
    Readium is also a good reader which displays FXL EPUB fine.

  • Missing cover on Fixed Layout ePub in iBooks

    Hello.
    My client is having a problem with the cover of their book disappearing after they open it in iBooks. I generated the Fixed Layout ePub from inDesign CC 2014 and had the same problem until I updated the OS on my iPad a few days ago. I suggested the client do the same (freshly updated yesterday to OS 8.0.2) but it has not resolved the cover issue. Anyway have any suggestions on what may be causing this and how this can be fixed?

    Initially (two weeks ago) I had chosen a separate cover image but when I tested the file on my iPad, the cover would disappear and all I would see is the half title page. My workaround was to add the cover image as a 1st page, rasterize the first page when making the cover, then also export the full book including the cover page as if it was part of the text so if the cover disappeared it would still show in place of the half title page. After we updated the OS on the iPad (1 week ago) I didn't need to do that anymore, but the client seems to still be having problems and she had also updated the OS at my suggestion.

  • Another Blank Page in Fixed Layout Epub

    Having trouble with a blank page in this epub (link to epub file on acrobat.com).
    I've read a couple of threads, and have exported the indd as an indb and reopened (trying to mitigate the possibility of the file being corrupt). I had to fix a date in the content.opf that was in the MM/DD/YYYY format (reformatted to YYYY-MM-DD). To repackage the epub, I created a new zip file, and added the mimetype file first, and then added the META-INF and OEBPS folders. Everything checks out at EPUB Validator (beta) Results. The file looks horrid in Adobe Digital Editions 3.0, but looks great in Calibre.
    As you can see from the file name, I've tried a number of things to try and deduce the issue (deleting multiple pages, one at a time, to see if there was an issue with a specific page, tried to build the epub without a cover image...)
    It's always the 3rd page that is blank, even after removing multiple pages, which I find curious.
    Any insights from others that have dealt with these problems trying to get Fixed Layout epubs from InDesign CC 2014 into Google Play Books is very much appreciated.

    Hi,
    The file is missing here: (link to epub file on acrobat.com). Could you post it again?
    Did you see your exported FXL EPUB in any other reader? iBooks is recommended but Readium also supports FXL EPUB and would be equally good to verify this issue.

  • Fixed layout Epubs versus PDF!

    I have this niggling thought that I can't seem to shake off, so I'll air
    it out here:
    What is the difference between a fixed-layout ePub and a PDF? I mean,
    what is the intrinsic difference? Isn't a PDF precisely a fixed-layout
    ePub, only better?
    A PDF has searchable text. It can be enlarged or reduced at will on the
    screen. In a fixed-layout ePub, the line breaks are fixed, as are the
    position of the graphics.
    So why a fixed-layout ePub??

    EPUB allows access to new distribution options and new tooling and integration options (ex: HTML animation/interactivity) also become possible because EPUB is based on web technologies.
    IMHO, it is the rise of ebook stores which has driven EPUB - I can sell an EPUB in a store, not so much with a PDF.
    Here is the first EPUB that the team knows about which was created with the new FXL export feature:
    iTunes - Books - Outside the Box by Karma Wilson
    Obviously this could have been created as a PDF (which it was when they went to print it in on paper since the original files were InDesign) but by ALSO exporting to EPUB FXL it made it possible to reach this store.
    In the end it is all about the specific reading-apps/device and what format you have to create in order to reach that app.

  • Hyperlink Problem when Creating Fixed Layout ePub

    Hi guys, not sure if anyone can help...
    I've created a fixed layout ePub from a print document and everything works perfectly apart from I can't get hyperlinks to work.
    Originally I'd set up the hyperlinks on my text which didn't work. After a bit of digging around I found some documentation stating that text hyperlinks don't work and that they need to be fired from an image. Also, internal links (to other pages) don't work, only links to external URLs - fortunately for me - all my required links are to external URLs, however, they still don't appear to work... does anybody have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
    I'm testing with Redium on Windows 7 and iBooks on iPad Air
    Thanks in Advance
    Kindest regards
    Poll

    Hi Poll,
    The hyperlinks are set on what kind of objects? If the external hyperlinks are applied on a text frame or a rectangle, it won't work. There are two cases that work:
    1. Hyperlink on images
    2. Hyperlink on objects in a group and the group is set to rasterise from Object Export Options dialog.
    What is your case which is not working? Please elaborate.
    Regards,
    Pooja

  • Fixed layout epub displaying incorrectly on PC, but correctly on Mac

    I have a fixed layout epub that I created in InDesign. The file displays correctly in ADE on Mac, but is a mess in ADE on Windows (the text is huge, the images are scattered, and most content is off the page). The file also displays correctly in iBooks and Calibre on Mac (I only have a DRM version on the PC so I can't view in Calibre for PC). What might the issue be? What additional information can I provide to help troubleshoot?

    I just read that.
    Thanks for the heads up.
    This is not giving high hopes though.  I know it's new-ish and all but if people have to go out of there way to read these that is not going to make it a very popular format.  Apple has there stuff together but as for Windows and Android they really need to step it up.  Adobe needs to take the initiative and add this to Acrobat or crate a new viewer for epub in my humble opinion.
    Thanks again.

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

    Hi
    I have an In Design file used to create a print book (11"x11") and have decided to use CC 2014 to create a fixed-layout ePub 3 for a digital version.  I converted the book over with minor issues of having to change the font and it looks beautiful.
    I would like to add videos at the end of the book to take advantage of the flexibility of the digital format.  I create a year-end slideshow of my photos and host them on Vimeo.
    I have tried the following:
    Using the Vimeo standard embed code in an HTML element
    Using the old flash Vimeo embed code and converting to HTML - worked great on iBooks on Mac but not on iPhone/iPad as flash-based
    Hosting and linking to videos on my own web server and using the Media - insert video link to the mp4 file
    Hosting and linking to videos on my old photo server at smugmug.com
    I can embed the actual videos but, at their smallest size they increase the file size of the ePub from 78MB to 400MB...
    I then thought I would use a Folio Overlay - Web Content.
    The idea is to use this blank page on my website which would look for all intents and purposes like another white page in the book - 2012 Slideshow - Oren Photography
    The overlay works in Folio Preview but not when exported as an ePub
    Is this a limitation of the ePub format?
    Any help/advice/suggestions on fixing this are greatly appreciated.
    E

    Thanks again Steve and Bill
    My interest in embedding videos was largely to minimize the final file size and amount of space used on each person's device.  I ended up following your advice about using Adobe Media Encoder to minimize the size of each slideshow but it still increased the final ePub from 65 MB to over 200 MB.  And that was with video quality that was far inferior from what I could offer through an embed or, my final solution, a link out to my website.
    I happen to be of the same thought as Bill that most people are now connected to the internet and would favor a smaller file with access to online content over a very large file.  I would have liked to embed the videos and allow 720p quality inside the ePub over the link I ended up settling for.
