Going from Pages to EPUB using InDesign?

Is there a guide for going from a Pages document to EPUB using InDesign? The target is a book that is over 105K words for 425 pages.
I am an absolute beginner with InDesign and I was hoping to more finely control the outcome of EPUB generation by using InDesign rather than outputting from Pages using Export to EPUB. Unfortunately, ID isn't quite as intuitive as I had hoped it would be and I've run up against the wall.
Do I load each chapter as a separate document and then collect them as a book file? Or can the book be loaded as one document? I've been trying as one document, but I can't it to appear in the main editing window. (It shows up fine in the story editing, but that gets tedious very quickly.)
Last, while ID creates EPUB files, can it generate a MOBI or AZW file for the Amazon Kindle? I found no references for in concerning ID in the documentation, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks, Steve!
I've already been hand-building the CSS & EPUB files. I was just hoping that InDesign would make it easier. Clearly, that's not the case.
Apple's Pages does a very good job generating an EPUB which only requires a minimal amount of tweaking to the CSS to give it a final polish and further adjustments for e-readers other than an iOS device. Generating the MOBI/AZW for Kindle requires a bunch of jumping through hoops to prepare, which was what I was hoping to avoid.
A few days to release, I have plenty of time get get the ebooks ready.
A good heads up for any competent programmers out there—of which I am not—there is a huge market of self-publishing authors in need of a program that can take a RTF, Word or Pages formatted document and smoothly turn it into an EPUB or AZW file.

  • Converting a PDF to an EPUB using InDesign

    I have four finished books in PDF files, totaling 1857 pages including over 600 photographs, which I need to convert to EPUB files in InDesign.  I used a script to import all of the pages of one book into InDesign into a document reflecting the page and margin parameters of the original Microsoft Word document file.  The imported PDF looked perfect in InDesign once I switched to a high-quality display performance in the View menu.  However, when I exported the document into an EPUB file, I ran into two problems that I cannot fix. 
    Problem #1:  Both the Digital Editions EPUB reader and the Nook recognize the EPUB document as having only two pages (displaying 1 / 2 on the screen, even though I can scroll to or page to all 430 pages in both Digital Editions and the Nook.  This happens despite the fact that the correct number of pages correctly displays in the InDesign document settings.
    Problem #2:  The document text in the EPUB file is so poorly rendered it is almost illegible.  Each letter is chunky and fragmented and partially pixelated.  However, the same text in InDesign perfectly reflects the high quality fonts used in the original PDF and Microsoft Word Documents.
    I can find no documentation in the InDesign help system to explain why I am getting these results.  When I cut and paste a few pages of text from the PDF into an InDesign layout, it looks fantastic when I export it to an EPUB. But the text in the script loaded PDF pages look horrible.  And for what it is worth, Problems #1 and #2 persisted, even when bypassed the script and I hand placed a half dozen pages from the PDF into an InDesign document and exported them to an EPUB file. 
    Also, if I export back to a PDF from InDesign, the text looks perfect and the page numbering is correct in Digital Editions.  The only reference I found related to InDesign text quality on export  is in Object Export Options, but they remain disabled to me.
    And as a final test, I script loaded all 710 pages of the indesign_cs5_help.pdf to see if it would display the same problems. Not surprisingly, the text was just as poorly rendered in Digital Editions, which then displayed the first page of the document as 1 / 3 instead of 1 / 710.
    Is there some method I can use to fix these problems?  Or am I going to have to recreate the layout for all 1857 pages painstakingly object by object in InDesign?
    Thanks for all assistance.

    I have managed to work out the entire process over the past three weeks both working with InDesign with EPUB and by helping a friend post a series of books directly from Microsoft Word via MOBI to Amazon.  I will discuss the latter process first to point out the inherent problems with the direct approach, so the reasons for using InDesign become more apparent.
    From Microsoft Word
    First, I recommend you reformat your Word document into a smaller book size to simulate the maximum text display you will get on a Kindle (3.0 in. x 5.3 in. margins) or Nook (3.3 in. X 5.5 in. margins).  Next, make sure you are using style tags and paragraph and page layout options everywhere (no tabs or spaces in formatting), and a TOC object for the table of contents.  All photos or images must be centered, and if you want them to have horizontal width, then stretch them from side to side.  Leave your cover photo out of the document, and add it via the author panel specifying you want the uploaded cover image to be used inside the book.  This will assure that the cover photo will correctly fill the frame.
    Next save your DOCX document as a FILTERED HTML.  Then close Word and load the HTML into the Kindle Previewer to review to verify your images are correctly displayed.  When you do this, it creates a MOBI file that you can upload to a Kindle to view first hand.  Then when you are satisfied with the results, you can upload this MOBI book file to Amazon Authors Direct.  The upload dialog does not say it will accept a MOBI file, but the HTML file it recommends does not contain any image data.  As it accepts an EPUB file, it only made sense it would accept the MOBI file, and it does (even the Amazon technical staff did not know this).
    Using InDesign
    The results of going from Word direct to MOBI are far from perfect.  But I would judge they are minimally acceptable.  However, if you want complete control of a book’s layout I recommend going the InDesign route.  Without exception, the pages, text and images laid out in InDesign are (or will be soon) perfectly reflected on the Nook and Kindle.  Granted, it takes time to lay out a book page by page, but if you do it right by using the InDesign paragraph and object styles, the process goes quickly. 
    Create an InDesign Book with each chapter a separate document in the book to ensure chapters start on a new page.
    Make document pages small to maintain the look and feel.  They need not be 3.5 x 5.5.  I used a 5 x 7 inch document page and everything looked fine on the Kindle and Nook.  Get used to the idea that the text will always flow differently based on the text size selected, So only worry about inline image placement, chapter headings and such, and leave the rest to fate.
    After you get one chapter finished, use it to create a template document to use for subsequent chapter documents to facilitate laying out your book.  A photo in a graphic frame with an anchored caption text box is easily copied and pasted elsewhere to standardize all image objects.  Be sure to synchronize styles and swatches for each new chapter added.
    InDesign footnoting did not work correctly in the EPUB for me, but I found it easy to use the hyperlink system to emulate footnoting functionality.  By placing the footnotes at the back of the book and implementing a hyperlink back to the inclusion point of the footnote in a chapter, the reader can use the footnote pages like a hot index as well as a hot footnote.
    When generating an EPUB,
    Select No cover image
    Select ordering same as Article panel
    Set Book margin to 0
    Image size relative to page
    Contents XHTML
    Use InDesign TOC (set style used)
    Generate CSS with all boxes checked.
    One thing to be aware of is that the digital readers will read the HTML page objects left to right then top to bottom, so I recommend the following:
    In InDesign Guides and Pasteboard preferences, set the Snap to Zone to 1 to guarantee all page objects line up on the left margin exactly.  Manually adjust each object box X location as necessary.  Lock object when completed to minimize inadvertent movement
    Always guarantee all text box objects stretch from left to right margin.  Use the Indent controls to vary text placement and make this a new paragraph style.
    Always anchor a photo (inset in a graphic frame) to a caption text box stretched margin-to-margin to ensure the photos will not sink to the bottom of a page in the EPUB. 
    Photos snapped to each margin will display full width and will display larger when the Kindle is rotated 90 degrees.
    Add 0.25 in, Space After on the last paragraph before an image and 0.25 in, Space Before on the first paragraph after an image to create a bit of white space around the image and caption.
    Always use the Article list to verify the placement of page objects in each chapter document.  I have had a few images sink when the article list is generated despite all the above precautions.  But it is easy to manually make adjustments.
    Kindle Tools
    Amazon released a series of tools and PDF documents a few weeks ago that greatly simplify the process of posting a book for sale via Direct Publishing.  That said, rabbit holes abound waiting to catch anyone who is not already familiar with HTML and document layout software technologies.  So the non-tech masses should be wary.
    The Amazon Tools are at https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A3IWA2TQYMZ5J6 .
    KindleGen v2.4 – a command line tool used to build eBooks that can be sold through Amazon's Kindle platform. This tool is best for publishers and individuals who are familiar with HTML and want to convert their HTML, XHTML, XML (OPF/IDPF format), or ePub source into a Kindle Book.
    Kindle Previewer v2.4 -- a tool that emulates how books display on Kindle devices and applications. Kindle Previewer makes it easy to preview the layout of a book and make sure its text displays properly for any orientation or font size. This tool is recommended for publishers, eBook conversion companies, and individual authors in combination with KindleGen to produce the highest quality Kindle books. It is available for both Windows and Mac OS X platforms.
    Kindle Plugin for Adobe InDesign® v0.96 (Beta) --  a plug-in which can be used to convert documents or books created in Adobe InDesign® to Kindle format.  For more information on creating books for the Kindle platform from Adobe InDesign®, please see the Publishing Guidelines for Kindle Plugin for Adobe InDesign® available for download in PDF, Kindle and Adobe InDesign® formats.
    I found that the Previewer and the DOS KindleGen produce identical MOBI files, so I recommend the previewer for its ease of use.  After extensive testing I have found the Kindle InDesign plugin will perfectly convert the text from InDesign; however, it fails to size, place and display photographs and captions in all cases.  It also does not render the InDesign TOC correctly.  But remember, it is Beta software .  I sent in a bug list to Amazon via the Export Book to Kindle dialog in InDesign and never got a response, but presumably someone is working on the problems and will eventually get them fixed.  On the other hand, currently the Previewer perfectly displays photographs in a MOBI file when the InDesign EPUB file is fed into it; and the only problem with the text is that the line spacing is incorrect so paragraph lines are somewhat scrunched together.  While this is not a problem for developing a book, I would wait until the final release of the Kindle Plugin for InDesign before generating and publishing a MOBI book.
    I hope this helps.

  • Export from Pages to ePub??

    Help! I need to export from Pages to epub.  I've read the tutorial a hundred times and it says that when you click on "export" one of the options should be epub.  However,  my only options are pdf, word, or rtf.  What am I doing wrong? 

    If your admin bought the iWork package as a DVD, Pages '09 version 4.0.3 is really the late version available on this media.
    As fruhulda wrote, you must get and apply an updater (maybe you must ask the admin to do that, I know that some of them are a bit picky).
    PS, since last wednesday, the best Apple tool to create ePub is the free iBooks Author.

  • Image export from Pages to epub

    Hope this is the right forum.
    Question about exporting images from Pages to ePub: What does the following comment mean?
    Images beyond the 11MB of un-encoded image data allocation per chapter.
    1. Does "images" mean total number in chapter? Or is the 11MB per image?
    2. What is "un-encoded image data" please?
    Thanks.

    I asked the above question because I am writing a book with many pictures, and the exported ePub files for one particular chapter stop including pictures after a certain point.
    However, that point is much beyond 11MB. The pics average 600KB, and it includes 45 of them (about 27MB) before stopping.
    Thanks for the help.

  • From Pages to epub format

    On June 2, in a post entitled Pages to ePub, I evoked the challenge of transforming a novel, written in Pages, into epub format for the iPad device. Over the last week, I've succeeded in carrying out this task completely, in an essentially manual way.
    Harrison Ainsworth's excellent tutorial on building epubs, which is perfectly sufficient for the basic stuff, can be found at
    http://www.hxa.name/articles/content/epub-guidehxa72412007.html
    The first operation consisted of exporting all my Pages files as pure text. Then I used BBEdit (on my iMac) to insert countless pairs of XHTML tags: basically "p" tags. The steepest learning curve for me (as an enthusiastic Flash developer who hasn't touched HTML for years) was getting the knack of how to write a perfect XHTML-oriented Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) file.
    Curiously, I was hung up by a trivial obstacle for several days: the necessity of zipping together all my files, to create the final .epub document. Here again, Harrison Ainsworth kindly solved this problem by pointing me to a magic tool (in fact a tiny AppleScript device) that can be found on a MobileRead forum at
    http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55681
    While waiting to buy an iPad, I'm using the Adobe Digital Editions tool on my iMac to display my novel. Finally, the most convenient way of validating the end result consists of using the website at
    http://www.threepress.org/document/epub-validate
    So, my 318-page novel is now ready (well, almost ready) to be published. I'm awaiting an ISBN number from the French authorities. And maybe I should get a professional graphics artist to produce a first-class cover illustration. For the moment, I haven't looked into the question of whether Apple will be prepared to accept my novel for their iBooks distribution (since I live in France).
    I'm now faced by the following tough question: Should I carry on using Pages as a creative-writing tool, or would I be better off using an ebook-oriented environment right from the start? For the moment, there are two or three significant advantages in using Pages for creative writing: (1) There's no technical barrier between the author and his/her output. (2) I can distribute my stuff conveniently to friends and colleagues in the form of PDF files. (3) I can print out pages on A4 paper, for checking.
    As much as I'm really fond of Pages, I'm not sure that these advantages justify the messy operations involved in moving to epub format. Consequently, I fear that I might soon be putting Pages in mothballs… alongside Textures, PageMaker and InDesign.

    Honestly, at the moment if you are writing fiction, the easiest answer is to use Word or one of the Open Office variants and then use an aggregator and let them hassle with the coding parts (although I must point out that there are some difficulties for the future in terms of the publisher code and the ISBN ownership). Or else get really good at writing CSS/XHTML for yourself, or hire someone to do it for you. There are places where you can get a manuscript formatted for all the major outlets.
    For any kind of heavily formatted book, I think the solution is to hunker down and wait a bit. People in the industry are still figuring out how to enforce a lot of formatting (there are some magnificent cookbooks in ibooks right now, for instance, but section headers and captions may not appear in the right place if you tinker with the settings), and it remains to be seen exactly what Steve Jobs meant by including PDFs in ibooks. He didn't say "sell PDFs through the ibookstore", and for material where there's any kind of fixed formatting, PDF is still the best way.
    There are some serious bugs in InDesign CS5 for epub creation, although the chapter splitting feature is very tempting. But I think a lot of production shops are waiting to see if Adobe will release a point update before moving to CS5, for all the hassles in CS4.
    The other big consideration is the platform wars. If you want maximum readership, you will need separate formatting for Nook, Kindle, ibooks, and now there is a new ereader that is going to be sold in all kinds of general purpose stores like CVS, for example. Formatting for that isn't known yet.
    Eventually this will all shake out. They are working on a new standard for epub that should help with a lot of the current problems, but that's probably 18 months away or more.
    Another option is to publish your book as an app. I did see a press release last week from someone who is selling a kit to turn a book into an app, but I haven't heard any feedback about whether it's any good or not. Or you can do what the Take Control series has been doing: sell a PDF and recommend GoodReader.
    I was pretty excited about that blog post last fall where someone claimed to have found ebook creation embedded in the Pages package, but in reality right now it's a highly complex process, no matter where you start, so it's not surprising this hasn't come to pass. My own ideal would be to be able to lay out a book in Pages and use that as the basis for a PDF or just send a perfect epub straight to the ibookstore, but I'm not sanguine that this will ever be possible.

  • Cannot find how to export from Pages to ePub

    I have Pages '09, and looked on Apple's tutorials for how to export as an ePub file... It says just click share, export, ePub, but I do not have an ePub option. My only options are PDF, Word, RTF, and Plain Text. Am I missing something very obvious?

    It's interesting that 'they' have decided to NOT let folks on 10.4 produce an ePub (from Pages). I understand that I cannot 'do' the whole ePub consumer side on this machine but I was hoping to get a bit of a headstart while on the road. (The mini at home base is running 10.6 and is my ePub production environment. That version of iWork9 does have the later Pages, which is why I was surprised when I could not find the same UI on my 'travel' machine.)
    As to why I don't upgrade the G4? I need one machine that can run Classic. So it will live at 10.4.11 for the rest of its life.
    I have my fingers crossed that today's announcement will include a suitable Macbook Air update ... one that is not too wide and/or too high. (The 13" 'books have been too large a footprint to replace my trusty 12" so I've been holding out...)

  • Help please! Resume isn't going from .pages to .doc

    My resume is exactly how I'd like it to look in .pages format but I've tried EVERYTHING to change it to a .doc document because a lot of employers are asking for resumes and cover letters in a word (.doc) format ONLY. Of course I can save it as a pdf but that is not agreeable to some of them. I have the Microsoft Office for MAC software and I've tried exporting it...copy paste...even rebuilding it from scratch and every time I save it and email it to myself as a .doc document it comes out looking NOTHING like what I see when I am in Word working on it. The font is different, spacing is off, etc....HELP!! Is there any way whatsoever to make my resume from pages look exactly the same when it is a .doc document?

    M,
    It's possible that your Pages design is simply impossible to reproduce in Word because of some feature in Pages that doesn't exist in Word. If that's the case, you would be better off doing the whole thing in Word from start to finish, sad to say. It's a good thing that you have Office for Mac available. When you are dealing with businesses, whether they are clients or prospective employers, you have to bend to their wills. This may mean using Pages for your internal work and Office or one of its clones for times when only Word is accepted. That's part of the cost of doing business.

  • Why do documents shrink when going from Pages To Word?

    To work on my Word docs on my iPad, I email them to myself, and save the attachments in Pages. To get them pack to my laptop, I email them back to myself from the iPad, as Word docs. The attachments that come back are half the size of the original (in KBs), even though I do not remove any content, and usually have added some. Does anyone know why this is, and what occurs to reduce the document to half the KBs it was before?
    Thanks.

    The content is text only, being composed in Word and edited in Pages. It's getting incoporated into a bigger Word document (the master document). I worry that a document which goes from 100 KB to 40KB is missing something - and that it will somehow corrupt the master document if I add it in.
    Pages takes .docx docs and saves them as .doc. But converting them back to .docx in Word after they've been compressed doesn't bring them back to their original size.

  • Porting issues with boost::regex when going from CS6 to CC2014 using Xcode

    I have a working project in CS6 that uses the boost::regex framework that I'm having problems porting into CC2014.
    I ported this project by using Dolly to create a new project, then coping the old source files across, finally updating the various out dated InDesign API calls that appeared when I compiled. For the use of regular expressions I added the debug and release builds of the boost_regex.framework to the respective targets.
    Now, for the debug build the new CC2014 projects builds happily. But when I switch to the release build I get a few linker errors. They are all something like:
    Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
    "boost::re_detail::get_mem_block()", referenced from:
    boost::re_details::perl_matcher<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char const *, std::string>, std::allocator<boost::sub_match<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char const *, std::string> > >, boost::regex::regex_traits<char, boost::cpp_regex_traits<char> > >::find_imp() in SbRegex.o
    etc.
    I did a bit of reading through the boost header files. The odd thing is that the "get_mem_block()" appears to be defined for the pre-processor option BOOST_REGEX_NON_RECURSIVE, while in the project settings for BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS contains BOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE. These two settings are mutually exclusive and there's pre-processor logic that blocks having both cases defined at once.
    This recursive option is used to control how memory is used while processing a regular expression, so seeing a get_mem_block() call (other link errors involve a call to put_mem_block) sort of makes sense being calls that look like something to do with memory.
    I'm trying to figure out why debug builds, but release build fails. Does this problem look familiar to anyone? Anyone have any suggestions to try to fix it?

    Thanks for the reply, Bartok, but those didn't seem to work for me. Maybe I applied them incorrectly as that thread was for the Win platform and not Xcode and I might have translated the solution poorly.
    Basically I went to the "Release_Cocoa64" target, and scrolled down the "Build Settings" page. I then edited the BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS field.
    First I tried just appending BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED.
    Second I thought that this might be a macro of some sort so I tried $(BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED).
    Finally, I deleted all the previous values and added "BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK BOOST_REGEX_USE_CPP_LOCALE BOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE BOOST_HAS_ICU=1 BOOST_ FILESYSTEM_VERSION=3 BOOST_CHRONO_HEADER_ONLY BOOST_SIGNALS_NO_DEPRECATION_WARNING".
    As you might guess from the experimentation I got none of these to work. The error that I was getting has remained exactly the same.
    One difference that I assumed between the Win and Xcode version is that Win separates the values with a semi-colon whereas Xcode separates with a space.
    My only other thought is maybe I edited the wrong field. Is BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS the one?
    As a final comment, the thread you gave me and my issue really comparable? I have other projects that don't use the boost::regex libraries and they build and run without issue. It's only when I try to use boost's regular expressions in a release build that I get problems when linking (debug build is still fine).
    Also the link error looks different. The thread that you gave me points at "boost::system::error_category" as not being resolved, while I have problems resolving "boost::re_detail::get_mem_block".
    I don't seem to have problems with basic boost - just the regular expression stuff.

  • Tabs not moving from Pages to ePub

    My Pages doc moved to ePub, and then my iPad great... except there's no tabs. Every new paragraph starts flush left.
    What went wrong?

    Ahhh that's what you are after.
    Yes you will need tabs, or have you tried en or em spaces? I think Pages' ePub "solution" is going to kill either as they really need hand encoding.
    I can only suggest you search for explicitly ePub software:
    http://www.macupdate.com
    This is starting to look much like Apple's previous html feature in Pages. Basically useless until users cottoned on, then it was removed.
