EPub export using just a range of pages from inDesign Book

I've created an ePub Fixed Layout ebook from inDesign 2014.1. I now want to create a summary book for Apple's iBook store, using pages from multiple chapters.
I know the ePub export dialog has an "Export Range" panel in the "General" tab. When you export from a single inDesign Document, you can either leave it as "All Pages" or chose a Page Range. However, I have an inDesign Book, with a inDesign document per chapter.
When I do the ePub "Fixed Layout" export, I come to this panel and the option to select a Page Range is disabled, so I can't specify the pages I want. The pages are numbered to follow on from chapter to chapter.
So, it looks to me like exporting to ePub from an inDesign Book will only allow you to create an ebook from ALL of the pages of the inDesign Book?
I'd really like to create a summary from multiple chapters, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill,
Page range for export can only be selected when exporting a document to Fixed Layout ePub. It cannot be done when exporting book to Fixed Layout ePub.

Scanning multiple pages from print book into computer

How to scan multiple pages from print book into computer? Someone supplied a link to this question, but I got stuck at step 1: Where is "HP Director software"? In other directions, it says to open the "HP Scan window," but that option is not available to me when I follow the directions. I have an HP 2159m computer, HP Photosmart Plus all-in-one, Windows 7, and use Firefox, if that's any help.
TIA

I have a similar problem:
I am using an HP Officejet 6310xi via its TWAIN interface. Regardless of which application invokes TWAIN (whether Irfanview, Thumbs Plus, or something else), the scanner dialog closes after transferring each scanned image. To scan the next page requires re-starting the scanner, beginning with a whole new preview and re-entering all my scan settings. This is only an issue with the HP scanner, not with my Cannon CanoScan LIDE 100, Visioneer OneTouch 8920, or any other scanner, each of whose scanner dialogs stay open for scan after scan. Can anyone help me make the HP scanner dialog stay open for multiple pages?
Note: Based on a suggestion on another site I set my scan preferences to include "Prompt for Additional Scans from Glass" as follows, but it did not help.
I am experienced at scanning, but I find it extremely frustrating that the HP scan dialog closes, forgetting its settings, after each page.
If it helps others, I gladly share my article, "Freedom from Paper--At Last" here

Export PDF from InDesign Book

Hi, I have a customer that has huge problems to export PDFs from InDesign Books. He has books with many documents with a total amount of 500-700 pages, when he try to export a PDF InDesign quit unexpectedly. I wrote a script for him that export the PDF from the book without the progress bar, and sometimes it solves the problem but sometimes not, and I have a "out of memory" message. He must export multiple PDF from the same book and then merge those PDF with Acrobat but he has also interactivity sometimes and it's a nightmare to merge PDFs with interactive objects and bookmarks. Someone of you have experienced the same problem (and maybe has a solution)? Thank you

It seems that InDesign saturate the available RAM during the operation of gathering information before start to export, if I restart InDesign each time and export a selection of documents it works. I'm exporting now two separate PDF and it seems to work, but again only if I close and restart InDesign before exporting, I'm working on an iMac with an Intel 2.93 GHz i7 and a total of 8 GB RAM.

Can I copy pages from a book I am reading on the iPad to the ipad

I am reading a library book in overdrive is it possible to copy pages from the book to be read on the iPad after the book is returned?
Thanks for your response
Cin

I don't have a library book checked out at the moment, so I can't play, but have you tried to select a section of text, and then copy it? If that works you can then go to Notes or Pages, create a new document and paste it in.
If not, you can try screen shots: press and release both the Home button and the Power button together, you should hear a camera shutter sound. You can take as many screen shots as you want. You will find the screen shots on your camera roll in Photos.

I am working on a book in the book module of Lightroom. When I started, I didn't realize that there was a page limit of 240 pages. I am going to need to break this book up into two books now. Is there a way to take pages from one book to start a second book without having to "redo" the pages again in the new book?

Exporting using apple tv setting squashes picture from 16:9 to 4:3

My project is in pal uk widescreen and when I export using the appletv preset it seems to squash the picture when opened in itunes and quicktime x. When I open it in quicktime 7 it's ok.
With Quicktime x the inspector shows the dimentions as 720 x 576
with Quicktime 7 the inspector shows the dimentions as 1024 x 576 (although in the format it says 720 x 576).
Any suggestions to get it to work right in itunes so it runs correctly on the apple tv please.
Thanks

I found that I had the same problem when exporting to IPhone/IPod. The workaround that worked for me was exporting the movie to Quicktime Movie first and then importing this file into ITunes. Here you can make a version for IPhone/AppleTV etc. that will turn out to be in the correct format. This doesn't explain the underlying problem however.

Not receiving Mail using "Mail Contents of this page" from Safari 4

I am having a similar problem with Mail with Safari. When I select "Mail Contents of this page" from the Safari 4 menu, it opens mail properly and will send. But email is never received. If I check the sent folder it is there. I have tested this sending to myself and family in same house and will not show up. I have noticed that sometimes it will not even show up in sent folder. I have tested on the same webpage the "Mail Link of this page: and this appears to work.

Niel,
thanks. I am feeling enlightened.
1) Imagine I am using my .Mac mail address and some ISP such as ATT. ATT has provided me with an email address, but I do not use it. I am using my .mac.com address. In this case, the amount of mail I can send is restricted by ATT email regulations?
2) And those people who may want to send a massive amount of emails may use a company like MailChimp in order to circumvent rules imposed by the email provider?

Syncing just one 'group' of contacts from Address Book

I've just bought a 3GS iPhone and have transferred the contact numbers from my SIM card to the iPhone.
However, I use Address Book on both a MacBook and an iMac - the entries in these are not always identical. Is it possible for me to 'sync' just one group of contacts from the Address Book on my MacBook to my iPhone and then another group of contacts from my iMac to the iPhone? If any of these contacts have partial details transferred from my old SIM card will that mean I have duplicates or does the iPhone recognise that the SIM has only transferred, say, one contact number and will then go ahead and complete details for email address and home address?
Sorry if this is a very basic question but I don't want to end up with lots of duplicate entries and couldn't find the answer elsewhere
Cheers
Tricia

Yes, true for iPhoto as well. Note that even though the iTunes content is the same, you will want to turn off syncing of media on one of the computers. The restriction of syncing to one library means that even if the libraries have the same content, every time you sync to the other computer, all of the iPhone content will be erased and replaced (with the same content, but it will take quite some time if the amount of content is significant).

Missing pages from the book

I purchased a book, but I can only read and see the images of the first 12 pages. I originally downloaded the sample, then purchased the whole book, but the rest of the book hasn't loaded. How can I get the rest of it? I have tried restarting my computer, deleting the book and then re-downloading it from the cloud. What else should I do?

I have the same issue, except mine was there about 2 hrs ago, but when I was trying to put some of my books back into iTunes I force quit the process com.apple.BKAgentService (bc doing so helped everybody else with the issue I was having) somehow all of the content from the book got lost except for the first 12 pages. I'm freaking out bc it's a textbook for college. I deleted it like you did and tried redownloading it, but nothing has helped, including restarting my computer and even doing a disk repair. GRRRRRR! HELP US!

How to delete pages from photo book

How do I delete blank pages from a photo book...??

As long as you have more than 20 pages select the one you want to delete and press the delete key

I need to export (to doc format) just a few select pages from various parts of a PDF file that is too large to convert in its entirety

I already paid for the service, but I can't seem to do the above.
If I upload the entire thing the process fails, saying the file is too large...

I would suggest using an outside product, such as PDF Splitter (FoxyUtils SplitPDF - Split PDF Files Online for Free), or just open up the document in Chrome, and print from your desired start to end page as a PDF. Then try uploading the file.
There is no internal workaround available in Acrobat.com yet, as after all, it is still in its beginning stages, unlike the Acrobat desktop application.
Wouldn't be a bad suggestion, I guess, though, for an improvement to make for a future version.

When exporting eps pages from InDesign 5.5 how can I make them be T1.eps T2.eps instead of T_1.eps T

While building special tabs for my job, we have to turn in the pages for print with a very specific filename system. It's complicated so I'll try to explain...
page 1 must be T1.eps
page 2 must be T2.eps
unfortunately when I click to export the pages to eps InDesign insists that it add an underscore mark in there.
T_1.eps
T_2.eps
etc.
is there a setting that I haven't located yet that explains to InDesign that I do not need/want that underscore in there?

Not that I know of. I assume it's scriptable, but instead of writing a custom Javascript export tool I usually use something like Bulk Rename Utility to enforce that kind of naming convention. (Mostly because my four biggest clients each have their own complex and idiosyncratic file-naming conventions. Scripting it in ID would take more time and be more failure-prone for me than using an already-existing free utility that has regex support and eighteen million options.)

I have formerly used Sitegrinder to develop web pages from .PSD designs without writing any code. Is there a current Adobe product that will do that?

I'm having trouble deciphering the capabilities of all the new Adobe products. I want to design relatively simple web site pages but include photos that demonstrate before and after such as a photo that has the sky replaced. I am still using Photoshop CS5 and Bridge, but I'm will upgrade if/as required. I'm not even sure how to get back to see answers here. What Adobe products should I use?

Thanks. Your answer was correct, but my question was not as clear as It should have been. The only "animations" I currently have are images used as buttons. The top image is before and the button down image shows the sky replacement. These can be seen on the home page at www.2000skies.com. I also have some flash slide shows which would be nice to replicate, but not essential.
