“item (iTunesMetadata.plist) exists in the zip file, but is not declared in the OPF file

”
The issue: If I get this message, it means that I’ve already loaded my ePub into iTunes. iTunes inserts this code automatically into the file. Why? Dunno. Probably something it thinks it needs?
How to solve it:
One way to solve this is to create a fresh ePub version of the file and NOT load that copy into iTunes before running the check. Make a duplicate ePub file of the ebook after it passes the test, and LOAD THE COPY into iTunes, keeping the original file pristine and error-free!’

  • Epub with fix layout and the apple validate check... :-(

    Hi
    I made a fix layouted epub. So good so far. The most platforms still accept it, except apple (like almost). After using the EPUB Validator (beta) I get an result which I cannot fix.
    f.e:
    in OEBPS/content.opf
    element "dc:date" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element "dc:contributor", "dc:coverage", "dc:creator", "dc:description", "dc:format", "dc:identifier", "dc:language", "dc:publisher", "dc:relation", "dc:rights", "dc:source", "dc:subject", "dc:title", "dc:type", "link" or "meta"
    or here

    that error repeats through all the xhtml files
    at the end:

    Validated using EpubCheck version 3.0.1.
    for me it looks for a misstake into the export programm of ID.
    What can I do? I'm using ID CC 2014 actual version
    Thanks and regards from Germany.

    Hi Steve,
    thanks for this information. In the meantime i fix my problems by myself. The export of Indesing makes no mistakes. My problem was that I start the ebooks with Sigil after export. And Sigils rewrite some codes. That brought the errors by the validate check.
    Thanks for reading my problem. Perhaps that can help anybody.
    Regards

  • .indd file does not open in Adobe InDesign 2014?

    Why are files created in Adobe InDesign CC not compatible with Adobe InDesign 2014 and vice versa.  This is supper annoying - we pay a monthly fee and are completely legit.  So why are the 2 not compatible????

    You cannot open CC2014 INDD files in CC. That has always been the case and you'd need to go through IDML for that. But CC2014 should open CC files with no problems.
    Now, you'd like to share some real details we may be able to help, but saying it doesn't recognize those file is pretty much meaningless. What happens?
    And if you uninstalled CC after installing CC2014 I would encourage you to reinstall CC2014. Uninstalling earlier versions has a tendency to break file associations.

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

    I have EPUB Creation problems when I use my InDesign CS 5.5 document from my first EPUB book, as a template to create my other two EPUB books.
    My customer gave me a job that forced me to learn how to do EPUBs – and I'm still learning.  I created three books in Design CS 5.5, for fixed page PDF, with interactive table of contents and for exporting to a regular EPUB, with auto-reflow formatting and automated table of contents. These books were not created for print. 
    After I created the first one and successfully exported to an EPUB, that previewed fine in free Adobe Additions, I used the first InDesign CS 5.5 document as a template to create the other two publications.  These books were around a hundred pages, or less, with little or no placed jpeg images except on the three books' covers, so I did not create a Book.indb for each publication.  Each book is completed in single InDesign files with their own unique front cover art on their first page.
    When my customer previewed the three books on his iPad, in iBooks, all three books show the cover of the first book, when you see them on the iBooks library shelf.  Then when you open them, you see the correct cover for that specific book and the correct interior pages.
    When I open each InDesign file and open the File Information tabbed dialog, I have a different document title entered for each of the three different books.  When I export to EPUB, the EPUB Export Option dialog pops up and I have selected "Include Document Metadata."  I entered the Publisher name and a separate Unique Identifier for each book, when I export.
    After I emailed the three EPUBs to my iPod Touch, all three showed up in my iBooks library but when you see them on the library shelf they have the first book's cover on all three.  So I have a redundant cover preview on the library bookshelf icons, in the iBooks app, running in Apple iOS.
    I have two books by Elizabeth Castro about Creating EPUBs with InDesign.  I'm going to read them some more, especially the part about preparing your EPUB for Apple iBooks, on iOS.  But, I thought I would share my problem here to see if anyone has a solution for me.  Thanks.

    I often end up answering my own questions but I will do so again, this time, so that others can learn.  When you are exporting to EPUB in InDesign CS 5.5, an EPUB Export Options diolog appears.  Under "EPUB Cover," select "Use Existing Image file" and choose the actual file that was used on on the first page of the InDesign document, for the new book's cover.
    This feature can cause inbedded human error if you use a completed Indesign book as a template to create other books because even though you placed a new cover at the beginning of the book, the Export options still has the cover file selected for the previous book you worked on.
    I actually got the answer to my problem with the InDesign Help Menu, when InDesign CS 5.5 is launched.

  • How do I get Adobe InDesign CS6 to export non-pixelated PNGs?

    I am having trouble exporting PNGs from Adobe Indesign. The problem is they become very pixelated once they have been exported to PNG. However, when I export to JPEG, there is no pixelation, they look perfect! Has anyone else had this problem?
    I need to export them as PNGs because some pages have transparency effects, which JPEG doesn't support.
    Is this a bug in Adobe InDesign CS6? Is it a configuration option that I can change?
    Below I have provided sample screenshots of the JPEG and PNG files, along with the export settings I used.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    To demonstrate this problem, I've uploaded a sample InDesign project which still exhibits the same PNG export problem:
    Click here to download my sample InDesign project.
    If anyone is able to generate a non-pixelated PNG from this sample InDesign project, please let me know how you did it.

  • Export photos to Fixed Layout Epub problem

    When I try to export an inDesign file to a fixed layout ePub3 format every photo brightens a little in mid-shadow areas. All my images are in sRGB color space. Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Thanks.

    This may not be a good test, but I took the picture you posted (the one from Indesign) and tested it and don't see a lot of difference. First Indesign, second ibooks. Is your monitor calibrated? What type is it?

  • Error in Pages when exporting ePub with image cover: Other images dissapear

    That's it, if I insert an image in the first page, and select use first page as cover when exporting ePub, some (not all) other images inside the book will dissappear. I checked everything many times, and all the images are placed ok (not floating)...
    Any idea about this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple forums
    Exporting to ePub is new to Pages 4 with the 9.0.4 updaters. It appears that most Pages users don't have a need to export to ePub, so no replies. Sorry.
    For Yvan,
    The iPad Pages forum won't help in this situation. The iPad version of Pages can't export to ePub & Pages isn't involved in reading ePub files on the iPad.

  • Help with Fixed layout book.

    Recently uploaded a fixed layout book to apple. It was rejected, and as usual we received a onliner from Apple - (blurry, pixelated, split across page breaks, etc.) The book is 150dpi and meets all Apple's guidlines. Any suggestions on what else we can try? The book has art running across 2 pages. Is this not allowed?

    Okay, after taking a look at the book on my iPad, and digging into the epub file on my Mac, I have a couple of ideas as to why it wasn't approved (and, yes, I'd agree, the one-liner from Apple could have been more specific).
    First, on my iPad, the book is not actually opening as a fixed layout book. It's opening as a regular book with your images flowing as text. With the images flowing as they are, many are browen across page boundaries (as you'd see in, say, MS Word, when an image is pasted across a page break), and this is probably why Apple mentions pages being split. In digging into the epub file I didn't see a com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml file, which is where you specify various features for the book, including fixed-layout.  You need this file in the META-INF folder. 
    The second issue is actually much larger, and likely the reson Apple responded as they did. Each page in your book is stored as one big jpeg containing both graphics and text (sort of like a PDF), and each xhtml page merely inserts that image in the flow of your book. Apple requires that images not contain text, as this makes it impossible for readers to search the contents or use other features of iBooks such as the dictionary and copy'n'paste.  Text embedded in an image does not scale when zoomed in the same way that standalone text is able to scale and be re-rendered as a true font.
    I think you'll need to readdress how your pages have been laid out. Separate the text from the graphics and treat them as independent objects in your HTML and CSS. You might be able to get away with removing all the text from each of your jpeg images and still having "full bleed images" that are simply missing all the text, then layering in the text via HTML.
    Hope that helps!

  • Exporting ALV with selected layout to excel via selection screen

    Hi All,
    I have given an option on my selection screen for layout selection that are there for the report and to download the data in the same layout format when the user Runs the report. I am successful in doing that except for one thing - the field order is not in the right arrangement in the downloaded excel.
    Ex - i have fields f1, f2, f3 and f4 in the standard default format and then i set up a layout as f3, f1, f4. Now the downloaded excel has it in the order f1, f3 and f4. So the selected fields are there in the excel but not in the same order as layout.
    Please suggest what i am missing here. The code is something like this
    *C-- If display variant was selected, read field catalog from variant
    IF NOT gs_disvariant-variant IS INITIAL.
    *C-- Read field catalog of display variant
        LOOP AT gt_fieldcat INTO ls_fieldcat.

    Hello All,
    This has been solved.  I was not doing the sort here on the column position.
      SORT lt_fieldcat BY col_pos.

      LOOP AT lt_fieldcat INTO ls_fieldcat.
        l_tabix = sy-tabix.

  • Fixed Layout ePub – OpenType features not working

    Hi,
    I'm working on a ePub with fixed layout using InDesign CC 2014.
    I have used some OpenType features like small caps and old style figures for numbers - but they don't appear correct in the ePub.
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your help
    Almute

    The small caps are wrong in Source Sans Regular. This are not correct small caps . This seams to be missing in the font.
    But in italic style you will find correct small caps. They only work in InDesign not in ePub.
    And if you look in my images (first from InDesign, second from Radium - iBooks looks the same) you can see many difference between InDesign and ePub.
    Note the word "pfiffig", the I at the beginning of "Igor" in second paragraph and the "a" in the italic paragraph.
    This is very frustrating!

    Hello Community,

    I am developing a FXL epub. When viewing the exported epub with ADE the buttons don't work.
    I also tried to view other epubs as the one mentioned in this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1684411
    No animations work.
    can someone help me with this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    ADE is not a very good FXL EPUB reader. Try iBooks, Readium for Chrome or Kobo.

  • Arabic punctuation when exporting to ePUB fixed layout

    Hello,
    I'm using InDesign CC6 ME and on it my document looks just fine.
    Once I try export to ePUB 3.0 fixed layout, my end-of-paragraph punctuation shows up at the beginning of the last line instead of at the end.
    Please keep in mind that since this is an Arabic text, the punctuation at the end of the line has to be at the far left which is not what I'm getting.
    I hope I can find some help with this.

    Hi Sania:
    Pooja is absolutely correct.
    There are a variety of limitations at this point in Roman/J/ME which we have been working to improve with our aim being that update-to-update to InDesign CC for both Reflowable and Fixed Layout we keep getting better. We've been focusing on Roman first and have had our hands full with that.
    The team as benefited immensely by being able to work with real customer customer document - would you be willing to share some of yours with us? We only use them for our own internal testing and do not share them outside of Adobe (and typically only the team). It makes a big difference to us.
    If so, please contact Pooja directly at [email protected] and she will make arrangements for receiving them. Typically we just need you to package the document (or a subset of it, whatever you feel comfortable with) so we get the necessary assets and fonts.
    Help us make this better.
