Anchoring Images When Creating EPUB

I'm taking my InDesin book into EPUB form, and the chapter numbers, titles, and icon at the start of the chapter are showing up oddly. I read a note that I can fix this in Dreamweaver, but the only tutorials I find there are for making web pages. It sounds like there used to be an option to "anchor images" during the EPUB set-up, but I'm not seeing that choice in the current version. Can you please advise or direct me to a tutorial?

Hi,
To anchor objects in InDesign, please refer following link:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6c43a.h tml
If images are anchored, they will appear in the EPUB after the paragraph in which they are anchored. To control the order of appearance of other objects, you can use articles panel and then choose reading order to be based on Articles Panel rather than page layout. This video will help you understand the workflow better: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-indesign-cc/the-articles-panel/
Please feel free to ask in case you are stuck up or have further queries.

How do I choose an image when creating or updating a Contact?

Hey All,
I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and I'm converting all of my contacts (from various accounts) to use the iCloud service, and all is going very well except for one small thing. When I either update or create a new contact via the Contacts application, I cannot choose a custom image to associate with a contact. The application only allows me to choose from a list of "Defaults", "Recently Used" or allows me to take a picture from my computer's camera. It seems odd that I can't simply select any image from my hard drive (or from iPhoto), but maybe I haven't set something up correctly.
The web interface for iCloud allows me to select a custom image from my hard drive so I have a work around, but its a bit clunky to do a lot of them.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!!!

When you're in the contact photo edit screen, in the bottom right there is another edit button, click that and drag and drop the desired image in there, scale it as desired, save.

Dark images when creating a PDF in Frame 10

We're having an issue with dark images in the PDFs created from Framemaker files. I've been trying to solve it two different ways, but each solution seems to have it's own set of problems...
1. When we print to PDF using a .ps file generated through Acrobat Distiller, our manuals print fine, but a large majority of the graphics are coming out WAY too dark, with some details being 100% illegible.
2. I can take small documents and "Save as PDF," and the graphics come out fine. But when I try to do this with a large document (100-1,000 pages), Framemaker gives me the infamous "Framemaker has detected a serious problem and must quit" error and then crashes.
Anyone else seen this? I have the latest (I believe) 10.0.2.419 patch.

You might want to specify what kind of graphics are giving you problems.
Frame drawings or imported files? If imported, what file type? RGB or
CMYK? Any spot colors?
The best graphics are EPS because FrameMaker passes them around the
Windows GDI unchanged and EPS files can retain spot colors, too. Other
types of graphics get passed through Windows GDI and converted to RGB
where the result can sometimes be astounding. In Save as PDF, what's the
setting for "Convert CMYK colors to RGB?"
Check also "GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=" in maker.ini and change it from
"Printing" to
"None". That seems to get the best results for having what you see on
screen match what ends up in the PDF.
There are also color management settings in your Distiller .joboptions
file that can affect the result. Usually, you want to set Settings>Edit
Adobe PDF Settings> Color> Color Management Policies to either "Leave
Color Unchanged" or "Tag only Images for Color Management."

Quality of images when Creating a Moble Me gallery

When I create a Mobile Me Gallery in Aperture with raw format image, the JPEG images Aperture is sending are very low quality (probably about a 6 or 7 on the Jpeg quality setting). I have the gallery set to allow downloading actual size.
I have previews set to quality 12 in Aperture, but it does not seem to use that value. I cannot fine any other setting for the images it exports for mobile me uploading.
So far the only way I've found around this so far is to export all the images and make a gallery with though high quality exported jpegs. This is hardly ideal...

I had the same feelings but could not find a decent solution. The MobileMe output options are not nearly as flexible as third party output plugins. Its infuriating that they wouldn't allow you to choose an output profile.
Rather than accepting the hobbled workflow you describe, I switched to flickr which is a little more fun anyway though maybe not quite as nice for a portfolio.

Upside down images when creating a DVD

Hello,
During the course of making a DVD which is a mixture of stills & video clips I found that some of the images, in the timeline, in the available media and finally in the "Create DVD menu" screen were upside down.
This usually preceeded a "serious" error which involved the program shutting down!. Although I was able to recover the file and eventually carry on to a successful project, I have no idea what I have done to cause this annoying problem.
Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks
Jim

Hi Paul,
Yes, they are all very high resolution. I wondered if this was the problem. Oddly, it doesen't occur all the time though and sometimes changing an associated transition in Premiere has turned the image the right way up. Still, sorted now. Thanks a lot.
Jim

Is there any difference between these cluster images when creating a user event?

I'm sure you experts will know instantly what I'm doing wrong.
I am trying to create a user message for TestStand communication in the LabVIEW UI (based on the simple example OI that comes with TestStand)
Perhaps it's just cosmetic but the trouble is I can't get the image of my cluster constant to look the same as the one in the example.
I'm right clicking on the 'Create User Event' icon on the User Event Data Type connection and selecting Cluster - Cluster Constant, then adding a numeric constant to it.
You can see the result here. The top one is the good one from the example, and the bottom one is my attempt - but I just can't get it.
I'd appreciate your thoughts (I know the event number can't be the same - but I made it the same for the comparison). I have LabView 8.6.1.
Thanks,
Ronnie
TestStand 4.2.1, LabVIEW 2009, LabWindows/CVI 2009
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use the color tool and right click on the lable of the numeric. I guess you will see that the Background Color of the one is black, of the other is white.
But this is really just cosmetic's of the code.

Blank slide images when creating print handout in Cp7

While my screen captures are visible when I print publish the file, my title slides with text and characters built in Cp7 show up as blank thumbnails.

EPub validation errors for chapters starting with an anchored image

I am generating an epub file using InDesign CS5.5.
I have set up a TOC and selected it during the epub export. It has one level based on my paragraph style “Caption” and works perfectly when I test the ePub file on iBooks.
Most chapters start with an image, followed by a caption (in paragraph style “Caption”, the same as I’m using to generate the TOC) underneath.
Images are anchored (using the blue box) to this caption in the Indesign file.
I have forced a page break before the image in the export to epub to ensure the image comes at the top of the page.
So far so good. All looks great and everything, including TOC, works perfectly in iBooks on my iPad and in Adobe Digital Editions.
However, my file will not validate because the TOC markers in the chapters which begin with the anchored image are missing – even though the TOC works perfectly as I’ve mentioned earlier.
As far as I can make out from the HTML, the anchored image is overriding the TOC marker, hence the error.
I’ve manually edited the chapter files concerned for now as I’m under time pressure to finish the job, but I’d really appreciate any advice on how to set up my InDesign file to avoid this error in the first place for future books.
(I’ve tried anchoring the image to a space before the caption text, and anchoring it to a soft and hard return but no joy. I could start the page with the caption followed by the image and force the break after the image instead of before it to solve the problem but my client wants the image at the start of the chapter and I agree it looks much better that way round…….)
Any suggestions much appreciated.
I can post the HTML code the Indesign export is generating and the edited code if that helps at all.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your quick response.
I have Version 7.5 of InDesign CS5.5. Not sure if that includes the patch? If not, where would I get the patch from?
On the error, here are a couple of examples from the first 2 chapters - it occurs in every chapter that begins with an image:
ERROR OEBPS/toc.ncx 23 62 'toc_marker-2': fragment identifier is not defined in 'OEBPS/Inspirational_Love_V1-1.html'
ERROR OEBPS/toc.ncx 29 62 'toc_marker-3': fragment identifier is not defined in 'OEBPS/Inspirational_Love_V1-2.html'
Also, here's an example of the original HTML generated by the export which is missing the TOC marker:
<div class="Basic-Text-Frame">
<p class="para-style-override-1"> <img
src="images/VX61_Fogra_USM_fmt.jpeg" alt="VX61_Fogra_USM.jpg"
height="467" width="1400" /> </p>
<p class="Caption">Refuge Cove, Wilson's Promontory, Vic</p>
And here's the corrected code which validates:
<div class="Basic-Text-Frame">
<p class="para-style-override-1"> <img
src="images/VX61_Fogra_USM_opt.jpeg" alt="VX61_Fogra_USM.jpg"
height="467" width="1400" /> </p>
<p id="toc_marker-4" class="Caption">Refuge Cove, Wilson’s
Promontory, Vic</p>
Thanks for your help.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

Corrupt image formatting when creating pdf from embedded visio image in MS word

Hello, Using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard and trying to create a PDF file from an MS word (version 2003) document. PDF file created is fine except for an image (embedded visio diagram imported into word). When created in PDF, the image is missing many of the diagram labels, and other text boxes are in the wrong font and wrong location. I don't know if it's my Adobe Acrobat or MS Word settings that need to be updated.
thanks, NB

Dear fellows,
the problem is still present. My system:Windows 7 32-Bit Prof, MS Office 2010 Prof, Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1, Vision 2010 Prof, all updates installed.
Problem #1: Even the latest Acrobat X 10.1.1 version causes Visio 2010 to start with error messages, origin: the Acrobat Add-In. Therefore I de-activated the Acrobat Add-In, again, as in the past.
As I design grafics with Visio 2010, I mark them in the active Visio window, copy the marked parts and then insert them into my Word-Document. So far, so good and as I want it.
The (still present) problem: I can produce a PDF file using the "save as Adobe PDF", but the Visio drawing is incomplete and corrupt. E.g. arrows as line endings have disappeared.
PS: But using Adobes PDF printer sets the embedded Visio drawing correctly! But using the printer one looses some features of the "save as Adobe PDF" command.
Well, probably one day ...
Regards,
Rückenlehne.

Images Disappear when creating PDF

When creating a PDF out of InDesign we are having issues with images diappearig when Postscript Overprint / Overprint Preview is on. When printing images also do not show up. When viewing in Reader Images do not show up. Has anyone run into this issue, we are running CS3 & CS4. Any help will be appreciated

Most likely cause is that the images are set to non-printing in some way, either inidvidually through the Atrributes Panel, or they're on a layer that is set to non-printing.

When I error check my Pages-created epub, I get the error code "undeclared prefix: ibooks." How do I resolve this error?

I'm creating an epub with Pages for upload to various sites. When I error check the epub, I get only one error message: "undeclared prefix: ibooks." The file itself works perfectly and looks fantastic when I open it directly from my computer/ipad with numerous Mac-compatible reading apps. However, I have no idea what distortions this "error" will cause when the epub is uploaded and redistributed. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, did it create problems in distribution? Or is it irrelevant? Thanks for any practical and straight forward answers and/or suggestions.

Based on that, it does sound like the sites you were having problems with had to do with filenames, not this error. I can imagine a site running a standard EPUB verifier, and if any errors at all are thrown rejecting the file, but practically speaking an unknown META tag (what's causing this error) should be ignored by the parser and therefore by definition be harmless.
I was using a free Java-based checker myself, and the fact that I managed to clear up the error indicates to me (unless I'm remembering wrong or misunderstood what fixed it in my case) that it's probably not technically the EPUB checker's failure to recognize the Apple META property; more accurately, it's that the XML dictionary the file is referencing doesn't include the Apple items in it, so the EPUB checker is correctly complaining about it.
It could also be something as simple as Pages generating a file that is marked as an EPUB v2 file but that uses EPUB v3 features (I know my book was intended to be v3, and I could have inadvertently used headers for v2).
Regardless, if the sites accept it, there's a good chance it is okay; DRM, at least, isn't going to change anything--only if an e-reader changes its EPUB parser at some point and breaks something, which seems unlikely.
However, the best way to find out if it's going to work right is to test it. Kindle is far and away the most popular reader, so try it with that and see if it comes out looking how you expect. You should be able to view it in the Kindle application, and there is also a Kindle simulatior available from Amazon that lets you see how an e-paper Kindle will render books without having to buy one. They have very limited EPUB support as far as features go, so it's definitely worth testing even if there are no errors--a lot of things iBooks will display just fine a Kindle will choke on. The older e-paper Nooks, in my experience, are even worse.

im trying to make a simple 360 rotation for a 3d logo in CC 2014 but when i tried to create the 1st key frame the image when out axis

I find that if you have multiple 3d object they must be merged into a single 3d layer their positions reset to align to the same axises then sized and positioned along them. The layer should then be able to be animated well around an axis like the y axis. Here a Sphere, Cylinder and ring. http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/McAssey-CC.mp4

CS6 creates tiled image when moving from LR4 and HDR Effex Pro

Just recently I've had a problem with CS6 where it creates a partial (tiled) image when "Edit In" from LR4 and when saving back to CS6 from HDR Effex Pro. THe image may have one or several retangles which may be black, white, or part of the image that's in the wrong place if that makes any sense. All software is running with current updates. I've had the software about 6 months and never incurred this problem until the last week. Help!

I've run through several scenarios and find that it's always in CS6 that I have the problem. I opened a file in all modules of Nik as well as OnOne's Perfect Photo Suite. When I go back (save) to CS6 there is always a problem. When I save in CS6 and then open up in LR the image is fine. So the file must not be corrupt, it just doesn't present it properly in CS6. The GPU driver appears to be up to date....last update was in 2011 and I've had this computer since late 2012.
