CS5.5 ePUB: TOC Marker problems

Hi all
Got a problem with some ePUBs I'm exporting out of CS5.5 (7.5.3). I use the TOC Style feature to generate the navigational menu, which it does, but I had some issues with jumping straight to articles in iBooks. Also I was getting some validation errors that caused me to look at the toc.ncx file - eg, "'toc_marker-4': fragment identifier is not defined in 'OEBPS/blahblah_epub.html'"
Turns out that although ID puts all the correct "toc_marker" code into the toc.ncx file it doesn't always put the corresponding code into the actual html files themselves. For example, in the toc.ncx file the code relating to my second file is;
<content src="02_Editorial_epub.html#toc_marker-1"/>
but in the "02_Editorial_epub.html" file there's no "toc_marker-1" defined anywhere. If I add it in next to the para style that is used for the TOC (and do the same for all the other articles - only 2 out of 18 files were output correctly) then it works fine in iBooks and the validation errors disappear. Example of my fixed code;
<p id="toc_marker-1" class="A-head-article-title">Editorial</p>
In case it is relevant, my job is made out of a collection of separate chapters in an ID book - I'm not getting ID to split them up. Also, my first document is just an image of the cover of this title so does not contain the paragraph style I ask ID to include on the TOC, so it does not appear in the TOC (which I'm happy about).
Does anyone know of any workarounds or is this just another thing we need to fix manually once the ePUB is output? Haven't tested this in the CS6 demo yet but we won't be getting CS6 in the near future so that would not be a great help.
thanks,
Iain

Thanks amygfx. Seems like a logical idea. I tried adding in a TOC, even left it in when I made the ePUB, but it didn't make any difference I'm afraid.
Any other ideas?
Just to check I'm doing it right, here's my TOC style;
It's in teh first document in teh book (which is selected as the source) and here's the options I choose when exporting the ePUB;
Using these settings makes a navigation menu okay but just not correctly!

(CS5.5 ePub) images size query

Hi all
I had some CS5 documents that I converted to ePub and all the images seems to end up as expected in the ePub when I ticked on "Formatted" in the export options. This meant any sizing/cropping on the page was applied to the images upon export. I'm using CS5.5 now and now when I view my ePubs in iBooks images are different sizes. An example is attached - the three images all looked the same size in CS5's ePub. This problem is only visible in iBooks (see screenshot below) - in ADE they all look as expected.
Looking at the ePub the middle (smaller) image is actually smaller in the OEBPS\Images folder, so Indesign is clearly doing that. The code for the three images is
<div class="Basic-Text-Frame">
<p class="authors-pic"><img alt="CL-433686-Bradshaw%20et%20al-SimonBradshaw.jpg" class="image" height="72" src="../Images/CL-433686-Bradshaw%20et%20_fmt.jpeg" width="72" /></p>
<p class="authors-pic"><img alt="CJMcolourheadshotFeb2011.jpg" class="image" height="71" src="../Images/CJMcolourheadshotFeb20_fmt.jpeg" width="71" /></p>
<p class="authors-pic"><img alt="CL-433686-Bradshaw%20et%20al-IanWalden.JPG" class="image" height="72" src="../Images/CL-433686-Bradshaw%20et_fmt1.jpeg" width="72" /></p>
</div>
I noticed that the middle one is marked to be 71px rather than 72px - I changed that in the code but it didn't help. CS5 didn't add these sizes to the code. If I take them out altogether it doesn't help since the images themselves are different sizes. iBooks doesn't seem to be honouring them.
The images in ID are different sizes and resolutions. I suppose what I need is a way to simulate CS5's "Formatted" setting. I've played around with the settings (Fixed/Relative to Page Size) but to no avail. I've read Cari Jansens's post on "EPUB Export and Relative to Page Size". Anyone suggest the best way forward?
thanks,
Iain

Cari Jensen did some experimenting with the new image export features of EPUB in InDesign CS5.5. Maybe you'll find it helpful:

[Edit:] Oops. Just noticed you read Cari's post. She's explored this more than anyone else I know.

Exporting CS5 to epub problem

Exporting CS5 to epub and last chapter is missing. Anyone ever see this? Thanks!

Hi Bob and Happy 4th!
Thanks for replying.
I'm exporting the file, and everything works great and looks great. Have made first level new chapters, and each is now separate xhtml file. toc looks good. Only thing is the last chapter is not included (although the glossary after that is). If I rearrange the order of the chapters the one now in the last position doesn't make it to the epub. My guess is there is a limit on length or size, but from what I've read that shouldn't be a problem with numerous xhtml files in this version.
Thanks!

Dash between words in epub TOC

Hi,
im getting a dash between the words in the epub TOC. I have it set up so that each chapter is a seperate InDesign document and the TOC is generated from that. What i get is "Chapter-One" when I want it to be "Chapter One".
I am new to epub so any suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How does the title look like in InDesign document? Is it Chapter-One or Chapter One? Also let us know the version of InDesign you are using.
Would it be possible for you to share sample document, it will help us understand the problem better. You can upload the document to dropbox and share the link with me. Mail id: [email protected]

HI, I just bought Photoshop CS5 and I have a problem with HDR pro

HI, I just bought Photoshop CS5 and I have a problem with HDR pro . when I am trying to mount 3 images together it act in a strange way ( the images appear and disappear many times) then when the window with the result appear and I say ok it open up in photoshop as a single image ( in the layers there is just 1 photo) and when I am trying to work it up with the Plug in/filter HDR Effex Pro (Nik softwear) a pop up window appear saying that the file is missing and the operation it is not possible. Why and what is happening ? Someone can help me ?

This is normal operation. The output from HDR pro does not produce a layered file. You make all your adjustments in the Nik Plug-in. Once Nik has finished you then make any rinal changes in Photoshop. Trying to use NIK again on the image in Photoshop is not the way to do this.
When HDR pro comes up do you see all the presets and controls? Presets on the left and controls on the right

Has the clip marker problem been resolved in Premiere cs6?

Has the clip marker problem been resolved in Premiere CS6. As of early July, it was not! Navigating, synchronizing clips seems impossible.

Explain your problems with markers in this feature request form: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
Sorry, that's all I can offer you.
TrueFriction wrote:
I'd just like to add my voice to the chorus here - namely that Marker functionality for CS6 is extremely lacking, and has made my workflow for various tasks much longer and more tedious.
In my case I'm trying to match professional footage of a concert with audience-submitted cell phone footage. The pro footage can't be synced with the non-pro footage via Pluraleyes because the cell phone audio is way too high to be analyzed properly. Hence I need to manually sync, which I can't do efficiently because I can't put clip markers on the pro footage once it's synced in pluraleyes and sent back into Premiere, because it only exists in a sequence.
I have no idea why Adobe would remove a function used daily by its editors, one that was simple and reliable, for no reason.
And what's puzzling is that there's been not even an acknowledgement of the issue from anyone at Adobe for 8 months.
This doesn't make any sense. Usually customer service from Adobe is much better than this. Why no action on this one issue?
BTW, if you want to add Clip Markers to clips in the Timeline, you can set a keyboard shortcut for that.

I have a desktop machine windows 7 based with CS5 loaded and working without problem. I have recently purchased a laptop running 8.1 windows. I have loaded the cs5 package onto the laptop and it appears to work but when I try to update, although I am being told there are updates it attempts to download the update but then tells me there is a problem and to quit and try again later.. I have tried a number of times to download the updates but itkeeps telling me to quit and try later. what is wrong please?

There could be a 32 bit vs 64 bit issues-is the old machine a 32 bit? and what is the new machine as far as 32/64 bit. I am not sure now if CS5 has in the help menu of the PS app the selection to update within PS if so that might work. I know that the Creative cloud app for installs updates etc has caused me much consternation over the last couple few years. Last it could be something like your Software firewall settings or anti-virus anti malware programs. I know that updating the infamous adobe flash that Internet Explorer pop ups setting and having AV turned on as opposed to off can interfere or plain break the update ability

InDesign CS4 quotation marks problems in epub

I use InDesign CS4 to create epub files. Occassionally I will have what I guess you would call a translation error from the InDesign file to the epub file. Quotation marks and apostrophe marks do not translate at all. It doesn't happen with every file. If I combine the bad export file with another file the quotation marks will be just fine. I have even tried inserting a special character from the Type menu and it does the same thing.
Example:
How it shows in the InDesign file -
You’re a fool, Grey.
"Miss Steele. What a pleasant surprise."
How it shows up in the epub file:
You‚Äôre a fool, Grey.
‚ÄúMiss Steele. What a pleasant surprise.‚Äù
Does anyone have any suggestions to keep this from happening?

My suggestion is to upgrade to CS5.5. The epub capabilities are light years ahead of CS4.
That said, where are you seeing the problem? ADE? iPad? Kindle?

Problem with ID CS5 to epub

Dear Adobe
I have the following problem with Indesign CS5.
After placing correctly my pdf doc into ID CS5 and exporting it for epub, the exported epub file is generated with only small size. I mean when i opened the epub file with Adobe digital edition, i can not maximums the size of the doc. I think the problem is that ID CS5 is added a page number for only the first page in the right bottom of the first page only. This will makes the doc to be displayed with maximum only by adding an extra blank page to the right of each generated page which contains only a page number, so that I can not change the display size in Adobe digital edition. However, Adobe digital edition is working well for other e-books.
How can I remove the page number on the first page and make the epub file to be displayed with normal size.

Problem with ID CS5 to epub - Please Help

Dear Adobe
I have the following problem with Indesign CS5.
After placing correctly my pdf doc into ID CS5 and everything is OK, I exported it for epub, the exported epub file is generated with only small page size. I mean when i opened the epub file with Adobe digital edition, i can not maximums the size of the doc. I think the problem is the ID CS5 is added a blank page in the right of each page. The blank page contains only a page number for only the first page in the right bottom of the first page only. This will makes two pages to be displayed and tends to reduce the size of original page and the epub-doc to be displayed with maximum size only by adding an extra blank page to the right of each generated page which contains only a page number.
How can I remove the page number on the first added page and make the epub file to be displayed with normal size.

Trim Mark problem. CS5 Any suggestions?

I am setting out A4 front and back covers as one piece of (A3+bleed) artwork to be reproduced by digital printing. After printing, the covers will be trimmed on four sides then wire bound.
I set up artwork with covers side by side with 10mm in centre to allow 5mm trim for each spine. My problem is that Illustrator CS5 adds trims on the proof which do not include a facility to specify centrefold trims or even a centreline. AI assumes all artwork will be an single rectangle and only puts trims on the four corners.
I can create two covers as two separate pieces of artwork with suitable bleed and trims, but then I must proof front and back separately and the printer must re-position each cover side by side arranging trims with his pre-press software. That is inefficient.
I simply want to hand over a facsimile proof and a complete .pdf fiIe with correct trims. I tried drawing the spine trims I required, but AI ignored them for proofing, even with the desk top enlarged to accommodate the trim marks. The Print dialogue box trims take priority. Has Adobe missed a trick here or am I overlooking a set-up requirement?
I considered taking the artwork into InDesign but ID also treats my artwork as one page with or without a centrefold, according to how I specify the pages.
But for the fold facility, the ID Print dialogue behaves the same as AI, as you might expect.
Can anyone offer suggestions other than the separate artwork option I have described?

Dear TerraAustralis,
I work in CS5 and I am trying to create trim marks so that I can manually adjust it after and create more of them since I have a multiple itmes to trim.
I get an error message when I try to create the mark:
I have a rectangle with or with stroke or fill (it does the same error), I selct Object-Trim marks
and I get this: <The filter cannot complete because of an unknown error>
NESS
what can I do to be able to edit the marks without making them all manually like before...
since the Crop marks command does not allow us to manipulate the marks?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Have you asked your printer about this? I'm a printer and if you gave me a file laid up on a page with your trim marks from Illustrator the first thing I'd do it place it in Indesign to strip them off and give me individual pages so I could impose it with my pre press software!
Check first...Adobe hasn't missed a trick, it's how the printing world expects it's files.

EPub TOC problem.

I use Pages to create ePub books. The new Pages update adds a crudely-formatted, auto-numbered TOC at the beginning. I'm not a programmer and don't know the best way to edit it out of there. Any ideas?

Well, a co-worked happened upon the answer to this!
I was aware of the "don't use nested stylesheets rule", which I thought was here:
But it turns out, that ALSO means NOT to organize style sheets here:
Once I took the eHeader style sheet out of the folder, the TOC generated as expected!

InDesign CS5.5 EPUB export not showing cover image in Adobe Digital Editions

I have a document that I am trying to ensure is reflecting the cover image prior to uploading to several EPUB sites like google and Barnes and Noble. I am using Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, Firefox (EPUBReader) to do the troubleshooting on the document. Calibre shows the cover image Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) does not. Are their any known problems with ADE not reflecting the cover image that I need to be aware of before I continue working on this?
The ADE help says the following:
"Once the items are in your library, there are two ways to view the content of any bookshelf. You can view thumbnails of your items. The thumbnail is the cover page of the item (or just the first page if it doesn't have a cover page). In this view, you see the set of thumbnails and some information about each item (author, title). You can also sort the order in which the items are shown by author, title, date created, number of pages, and so forth."
Here is basic informaiton. I have a cover page in my export to EPUB but ADE will only show the first page. Again Calibre shows the cover page.

Exporting as book as an EPUB
On general tab I am "Use existing image"
I am rasterizing the first image in Indesign via the "Object - Object export options" but I am not selecting that option when on the general tab of the Export to EPUB options. I am chosing a file from my disk. I thought that maybe the file name was too long but I changed the image to "cover.jpg" and reexported it but it still does not work.
Here are the contents of the content.opf file with all the pointers. I have updated the file as I believe you can tell with guides, creation date, etc....
It passes the SIGIL check.
The image name is Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg. It is 300 dpi and 1650 x 2550. I could also cut in the one that I did for cover.jpg but it only replaces the file name.

I have also been trying to get this cover image to display on PC for NOOK but it appears that everyone is having hits problem too. I have followed some trouble shooting guides and renamed the jpg image, Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg to cover.jpg but that doesn't seem to work either for NOOK.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. I am new to InDesign (I know you probably hate hearing that, but I have gotten so close to being done overcoming all the new user hurdles). I think this is my last one before uploading to the appropriate sites - PS. I got the cover page to show up on the Kindle but not Adobe's own product.
Thanks

ebookjunkie, I have just used InDesign to publish two very short "books" (.99 cent variety) and started this thread with the first question. Look to Bob for the expert advice. This is neophyte advice from someone moving from publishing a full book using Word to EPUB/Kindle and now using InDesign to publish to EPUB/Kindle.
First ADE is useless. I say this out of frustration of trying to use it to troubleshoot problems and it has so many problems in displaying an EPUB that you spend a lot of time troubleshooting ADE issues rather than EPUB problems. The problems are not limited to but won't display a cover page properly, text wrapping is iffy, Drop caps a problem, bringing over supported items like drop caps, all small caps, etc.... are also issues as best I can tell. Humble opinion is delete off your desktop. I use the following to troubleshoot my EPUB's/Kindle books on my Windows platform; Calibre, Barnes and Noble's Nook for PC and iPhone iTunes for EPUB (Sigil to look for errors); and for Kindle, Kindle previewer and Kindle for the PC. Even after doing this, I just today saw my book a buyer's Android "Reader" and the pictures did not display at all. So it is publish once and test everywhere! Unfortunately, you just can't test all the possible devices and iterations of readers. (I am from IBM and we couldn't do it, so how publishers are supposed to figure it out is beyond me!)
On the absolutely great news end, you will see a lot of problems about placing images on the iPad with a lot of workarounds. They apparently (Apple) have fixed this as my two publications show images nicely now on both the iPhone and iPad with the iTunes bookshelf/reader. They were "microdots" when viewed previously. I did nothing to fix it and was just not going to publish to the iPAd and just tested them a few weeks ago and they display perfectly. So Apple has fixed the problem. If it looks good on the Nook for PC, it should look good on the iPAD/iPhone now as best I can tell.

Pages to ePub: TOC and Title Page

Hello everyone... please help! I'm pulling my hair out.
When exporting from Pages to ePub, I'm having two issues:
1- The Title Page (which is page 1 and has been selected as the cover of the book) does not appear or appears blank. What do I have to do to make it appear?
2- I hear in all forums the need to build a TOC in addition to the one ePub already creates and that appears on the left hand side when the file is opened using an ebook reader. Can anyone please tell me why I have to do this and most importantly HOW to do it?
Thank you very much!!

Thank you for sharing such an informative post! I'd like to offer one small correction.
My company publishes children's picture storybooks in print. These are edge to edge full color pages for those who may not be familiar with this format. Our early ePub's were always disappointing in that we could not duplicate the print format without showing considerable white margins on an e-reader. We have since solved that problem in order to achieve the maximum image size. There will always be some amount of white margin in ePub format, but our image output now nearly fills the screen of any e-reader.
The 600X860 resolution is correct in order to achieve a wall to wall ePub image. The image must be created at that resolution for insertion into the document, and the page setup must also be set at the same dimension, which in inches is 8.333X11.944. You cannot, for example, use a smaller size image and drag it with constrained proportions to fill the viewport at the 600X860 resolution. The exported ePub file recognizes the portion of the image that is beyond the margins of the viewport and it will show up in an e-reader with a large white bottom margin.
Dragging a smaller image than the 600X860 resolution to fill the viewport with unconstrained proportions will work, but of course distorts the image. So, create your images at 600X860, insert them into your doc, export to ePub and you will be happy, happy, happy!
