EPub export issues and e-book programs that work with it

Hey Ladies and Gents,
I'm working with my coworker on ePUBS for our company products but we're pretty much noobs when it comes to these. We've hit a few snags that I'm hoping someone on here might be able to clear up.
So far we've managed to export our white papers as fixed layout but when we open them up in adobe digital editions a lot of the text content seems to overlap like below:
We don't have that problem in reflowable layout but some of our anchored points and captions get misplaced (which is almost worse). Is there anyway to fix this issue in the settings with Fixed layout without having to switched over to reflowable?
We have them layed out for ipads and iphones. They include products photos/tables along with their descriptions.We primarily would love to have them up on iBooks and amazon for free for our clients to view.
Only thing is, we haven't found a good program to download/publish our ePUBS to the correct format they need.
Currently, Apple has seven approved iBookstore aggregators we've heard of that could work:
• BiblioCore—www.bibliocore.com
• BookBaby—www.bookbaby.com
• Constellation—www.perseusdigital.com
• INgrooves—www.ingrooves.com/digital-publishing
• Ingram—www.ingramcontent.com/apple
• Lulu—www.lulu.com/apple-ipad-publishing
• Smashwords—www.smashwords.com/about/how_to_publish_ipad_ebooks
However, Lulu is expensive and doesn't bring in photos. we've seen a program that does that for $800
BUT we're hoping for a cheaper route; That's not exactly in our budget. We don't know much about the other ones. I'm hoping someone on here could give us some good insight on what would be the best choice for publishing our books onto ibooks and amazon.
Thanks,
Kristen

I don't know what was running in the background that was causing InDesign to crash when I ran the epub export but now that I've restarted the machine (Windows 7) and restarted InDesign CS 5.5 the epub export works fine.  Though I'm still noticing problems with both the TOC and Cover image being exported at the same time.  When that is done the TOC is not incorporated into the epub.  This isn't much of a concern at the moment since I can always use some freeware to add that in.  I'm also puzzled that I can't add the author information in bridge.  InDesign locks the epub up so that the author, title, etc can not be edited in bridge.  But once again I can always use freeware to do this.  Thanks for the help you two.

  • Anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS  x?

    anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS X?

    There is no solution. The Canon UFR2 driver used by the MF series does not work when connected to a Windows share or a wireless print server, including the Airport Extreme or Express. The problem is wholly to do with the way in which Canon has written this driver and therefore the Canon support staff should know this and tell you (although their Mac knowledge in Australia is pitiful and most likely the same in your region).
    If you had a model with Ethernet, then you could connect it to the wireless router and print via IP > LPD. But I know that your MF4150 only has USB as I mate of mine had one and he had exactly the same issue on Tiger, which I documented on the Tiger forum and the Airport printing forum.
    So, don't waste your money on a print server. Get rid of the Canon and get something that will work for all your OS's. If I can suggest, the safest purchase would be to get a model that supports Postscript. While this does cost more, it will help to avoid any limitations that can occur when using a vendors proprietary printer language, like Canon's UFR2.

  • I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. Please recommend an address/shipping label program that works with Avery labels. Thanks.

    I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. I press print, and the program closes. I press save, and the program closes. I press print and the program closes. I have had an email exchange with Pabel Printer Pro 7, but the best they could offer was to go to Utilities and click on fixed permssions. I have done that several times, and the program still doesn't work.
    Can you please recommend an address.shipping label program that works with Avery labels that I can purchase, and that is also simple to use?
    Thanks,
    Paula

  • I have some expensive programs that work with windows, would they work with the Mac

    I have always had windows and I have some expensive programs that I like to work with and was wondering if they would work on the IMac.  I have been considering changing for years but someone said my programs wouldn't work with Mac.  I have IPods, IPad and IPhones, so I am a little familiar with Apple

    No, not unless you install Windows on the Mac.
    A Windows app needs Windows. An OS X app needs OS X.
    You can install and run Windows and Windows apps natively on an Intel Mac.

  • Are there any good fax programs that work with Efax besides Efax Messenger

    I just signed up for a free months trial of Efax. I downloaded the Efax Messenger program which seems to work well except for the fact that it does not save any fax packages (on my computer) that I send out. This is an important needed feature. If I send out a package of 5 or 6 files to someone I need to be able to look up what I've sent them. The only way I can do this is to put all the files in a folder named for that particular fax, then put that folder in a second folder that is labeled faxes, then fax the files from the folder by Efax. Quite a process. I called Efax and was told that this feature was only available for a Windows Machine (Efax, catch up!)
    Are there any other programs that are easy to use and at least as good as the Efax Messenger that have that feature?
    We are traveling in a sailboat, don't have a land line. We only have a wifi internet connection when they are available, (internet cafes, etc.) or sometimes at anchor using long range wifi. I don't have the luxury of going online to check faxes all the time, hence the necessity of having them on the computer.
    Any help appreciated.

    Just to be clear, though, reducing the resolution of an LCD can have a negative effect on image quality. LCDs have an optimal "native" resolution and setting the resolution below that native level results in a poorer quality image.
    Leopard claims "resolution independence" - I have not tried it yet, but if you read the description of this feature, you will note that it applies to the user interface elements. Granted, that's often what you notice the most (i.e. the problem with reducing the resolution below native for an LCD is that the text in Finder, all of the menu bar items, etc., looks "fuzzy"). By appropriately scaling the UI elements, Leopard overcomes the limitation. But the "fuzzyness" will still apply to non-UI things that are displayed - i.e. images. Since based on your posts you will be working with images primarily, high-res vs. standard is still a choice I'd recommend considering carefully, and ideally by trying them both side-by-side.
    Ps. Thanks for awarding points!

  • Question: Programs that work with Nikon D600 .NEF files

    I recently upgraded to the Nikon D600.  With that, I’m unable to open RAW images in the programs that I currently have (PS Elements 9).  Does Photoshop Elements 11 have the correct software (Camera Raw 7 and higher)?  Or will I need to get the full version Photoshop CS6?
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    PSE11 will handle your NEF files but you will need to update immediately after installation using:
    Help >> Updates
    Also look at Lightroom 5. Unlike Elements it has all of the raw tools from CS6 in an intuitive interface designed for photographers by photographers.

  • I have old mac software 10.3.9 and the only firefox that works with it is 2.0.0.20. i cannot afford a new laptop or software. which upgrade will work with my G4 powerbook built in 2004

    ''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/785589]''
    when i tried to upgrade in the past, i could access NOTHING. the only upgrade that would work with my mac osx 10.3.9 was the firefox 2.0.0.20.
    please let me know which of your upgrades will work with my operating system.
    i cannot lose contact with all my accounts. that is what happened the last time i tried to upgrade.

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last version of Firefox that works on OS X 10.3.9
    There are some alternative browsers you can try:

  • Want to make a "small book" theme that works with "buy book" function

    I have made a handful of custom themes with the intention of having them printed via the Aperture "Buy Book" function. It seems like this should be possible, given the correct parameters being used when creating a theme.
    Not so fast... I have had zero luck in getting this to happen.
    Here's the issue
    I want to create a theme to mimic the "small book" theme in Aperture
    The dimensions on the "official" theme-created books are "3 1/2 x 2 5/8" showing on the aperture screen.
    When I use these dimensions on a new theme, the "buy book" feature still does not light up.
    What is the secret here?
    Is this possible?
    Very frustrating.
    The reason for this is even more frustrating - my copy of Aperture will not add a Metadata Text Box to an Aperture Small Book themed page - which is a problem for another post (done).
    Thanks for any info
    JC

    Actually, I think you can make custom themes, but if they're out of the size dimensions of the books Apple sells, then you can't used your custom layout for that. The custom layout/book is for if you want to do a custom layout in Aperture and then export the pages as JPGs and send them off to the printer of your choice, one who has the type (or size) of the book you want. Book printing companies should try to come on board if possible and provide third-part plug-ins for Aperture in which customers upload designs directly from the program.

  • Labeling on a photo - Is there a program that works with iPhoto?

    I have a Mac Book Pro system 10.8.5. I want to put a description directly on some photos in iPhoto but not on all of them.  I have used photogenie on my iPad but want something similar for my Mac.  Any recommendations?

    Adding text to a photo is not a feature of iPhoto.
    You can do it with
    Preview - already on your machine
    BorderFX - a free plug-in. (http://www.iborderfx.com/iborderfx/)
    or an external editor.
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Free programs that work with itunes to scan/fix music for tracks that skip

    Are there any programs (preferably free) that can scan an entire itunes library for corrupt songs & fix on albums? like songs that skip that came from a scratched CD. With the amount of songs I have now, it would be impossible to go through them all & listen for skipping tracks. I have found & learned about programs or scripts that can scan a whole library for missing album artwork, so I wondered if threre was anything for skipping songs.
