Document conversion to epub

Is there a way to easily convert a word document or PDF to an ePUB? It seems like when I place the word document on an InDesign document, I have to do it a page at a time. Very time consuming for large documents. Just seems like I'm missing something.

Basic Instruction #1: when placing a Word document, hold down the shift key as you click to place a page. ID will add as many pages as needed.
Can we interest you in a couple of Beginners' Book/Site recommendations? Because that on itself is not nearly enough to "convert a Word document to EPUB" -- by a very large margin. InDesign is not "a tool to convert Word to ePub with".

The Document Conversions Launcher Service status on a SharePoint Server 2013 Web front-end server displays "Starting" but does not start or stop

I have this strange error showing up from my second Web Front End Server, "The Document Conversions Load Balancer service is stuck in starting, The status showing up "Error Starting". When I lunch the start, it runs then went back to
the same status "Error Starting" for the "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service". How can I get of rid this issue?

Hi Mannyabdon,
Based on your description, I recommend to check the things below:
1. Run the PowerShell command below to check the status of the Secure Store Service:
Get-SPServiceInstance |Where {$_.typename -like "Document Conversions Load Balancer Service"}
If it is not showing online, please stop the service first and then start it to see if the issue still occurs (the
<ServiceGUID> can be obtained obtained from the command above).
Stop the service:
Stop-SPServiceInstance -Identity <ServiceGUID>
Start the service:
Start-SPServiceInstance -Identity <ServiceGUID>
2. Check the ULS log for detailed error message.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Thanks,
Victoria

When I export my Indesign document to an epub why is the first image smaller than the rest?

All of the images are intended to be full page, and appear so in Indesign, however when I export the document to an epub, and view it on the iPad, the first image displays at about half the size of the other images.
When creating the images in photoshop I ensured that they were all the same size and have not had this problem with any of the other epubs that I have made so far. Am I missing something? Any advice would be gratefully received! I work for a very small not-for-profit organisation that publishes books for people with learning disabilities and we are still feeling our way when it comes to producing ebooks!
Thanks in advance,
Hannah

HI Hannah,
May i know what are your cover page settings while exporting...?
Is your document facing or non facing pages.
Hope there are no size related settings done to the first image in Object Export Options under objects sub-menu.
Because these are the prime settings that can affect it somehow.

Can I add a downloadable pdf document to my epub?

Can I add a downloadable pdf document to my epub?

Yes. If you want the pdf file to download immediately when the link is selected and not be displayed in the browser, zip/compress the pdf file (Control (right)-Click on the pdf file and select Compress from the contextual menu) and link to it in the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane witn the Link To: A File option.
A second option is to zip the pdf file and upload it manually to your website server. Then link to it in the same preference pane but use An External Page option. The URL would be http://URL TO FILE ON SERVER/File _Name.pdf.zip

Try adding .epub to the end of the name.
I assume you are aware that to open an .epub file you need a special app, not TextEdit or Pages, right?

Hi Mani,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use Document conversion features to convert documents with images to HTML page in SharePoint 2013.
There is not an OOB way to achieve it. You can use Word to publish to a SharePoint blog which automatically uploads any images in the document. Then, you copy the html markup from the blog post and paste it into a wiki page.
In addition, for this issue, you can also use a tird party tool to achieve, like the below:

Document Conversion server in DMZ?

Based on reading the Deployment guide, it suggests that the Voice/Document Conversion server needs to be in the DMZ, but the only network connections that are indicated on the diagrams are for the mxport from the RTC Core Instance to the Conversion Server.
Shouldn't it be possible to put the Conversion Server on the internal network and just make sure that the mxport is open like the intrastructure ports are open?
Anyone have any comments on how useful the Document Conversion server really is in practice? Do users actually make use of it?

Well, in case anyone cares, it doesn't appear to be necessary to have the Document Conversion server actually in the DMZ (we have a no windows servers in DMZ policy). We opened the mxport from the DMZ to the document conversion server on an internal vlan and all seems to work just fine with document conversion and display.

We are getting faxes with 812 error - "Document conversion failed" in SOST

Hi
We are getting faxes with an 812 error - "Document conversion failed" in transaction SOST. The user is sometimes able to fax the number successfully, but other times fails - it is not consistent.
The conversion rules seem to be set up correctly, indeed, on a resubmit this often (but not always) works, so I don't think this is down to the conversion rules.
Is it a problem at the SAP side or the receiving system?
We enabled a trace but on analysis the only step that appears to be different in the failing ones is:
Status "Fehler" am Sendeauftrag gesetzt
Which I believe roughly translates that it failed to send - but why, and where can I find more detail?
Thanks
Ross

I also noticed in the trace that the faxes that work have the following lines:
Determined device type: POST2. OTF Device Type POST2
Format conversion from OTF to PS With Device Type POST2
Converting OTF to PS
Whereas the ones that have failed say:
Determined device type: PDF1. OTF Device Type PDF1
Format conversion from OTF to PDF
Conversion rules for this country PL (Poland) and 'blanks' in order of prioroty are:
PDF                   S POST2
PDF PL Polish S ID2PDF
PS                          POST2
PS PL Polish   S I2SPOST
Is that correct?
Cheers
Ross

PDF's to Blackberry display "Document Conversion Failed"

We are on XI 3.1 - Blackberry's are displaying "Document Conversion Failed" when trying to open PDF documents that were emailed from the Business Objects scheduler running Webi reports. These same PDF documents can be viewed on the desktop machines using Outlook. Does anyone know of any missing software or if configuration changes are needed on the Blackeberry?
Any response would be greatly appreciated.

A failure occurred in the document conversion process

A failure occurred in the document conversion process. The document cannot be viewed at this time.
No matter what I can not view attachments. jpg will render, but it seems like nothing else will be.
I do not see Document Viewer Agent (DVA) as a service in GW 2012 (OES2 SLES10)
Seb

I am having the same issue, but only with wav files.
I can click on the <filename>.wav link and open the attachment fine in a selected program, but if I select the "Play" link, the window switches back to the login page with "[962D] A failure occurred in the document conversion process. The document cannot be viewed at this time" displayed underneath.
Any ideas what this could be?

Updated workspace data causes document conversion?

I have some preference data stored in the workspace database which I've recently added to. I've changed the version number and added a schema converter in the .fr file and have noticed that when opening documents saved while the old plug-in was installed they have the "[Converted]" status and need to be re-saved (using save-as) I'm assuming that ID is seeing the newer plug-in version ID and running its document conversion routine, but since only the workspace database is modified I wouldn't expect the document would actually need to be marked as converted.
This is causing some confusion and annoyance among people testing the plug-in, so I'm wondering how others deal with versioning workspace data. Do you just leave the plug-in version alone when making changes to the schema? I've tried that and it seems to work, but I'm not sure how safe it is or if it will cause problems later on. Seems that the best way to handle things might be to just store your preference data as an XML or JSON string and bypass ID's versioning system.

When you extract the data from the form it is already XML.....or it should be. I do not use ProcessFormSubmission .... there is an easier way - under Common/Form Data Integration there is an Export Data service that will take your form as input and create a document that contains your data as output. You can then use a setValue to change the doc object into an xml object (doc object on right, xml object on left). Once it is xml you will need to see what the format is so either write it out or dump it to the log. Ultimately you want to get down to the forms root node and set that and all of its children to the xfaForm variable. The xfaForm variable is a complex object that has multiple nodes beneath it. Use a setValue service to put the xml you extracted into the xfaForm Var. In the XPath editor you can expand it out and put the xml data under this node:
xfaFormVar/object/data/xdp/datasets/data
Now your xfaForm var is ready to go
