EPub: when exporting or viewing document to ePub it crashes

Have deleted preferences and cashes. Problem still there.
Have saved document in IDML and then to INDD. Problem still exists.
In the document I have built a 2 layer button with a mouse over and click funktion.
It was fine viewing the ePub (inside InDesign) for a couple of times until it crashed, since then it always crashes.
I cannot even export it as ePub anymore.

Hi finliret,
Can you please detail out the steps because of which you think this crash is happening.
Or great would be if you can share your files with me so that i can further investigate on the reason.
share on dropbox or mail me on :[email protected]  
Thanks

  • ClassCastExceptions when trying to view documents from a custom document provider

    I have a very basic extension of DefaultDocument that I am using as
    our document representation. In the recommended strategy #3 we are
    told that we need to have something that extends DocumentDef, which
    this fits. However, in the deployment descriptor by default
    DocumentImpl is specified. Can anyone explain to me the relationship
    between DocumentImpl and DocumentDef? When trying to view documents I
    get a class cast exception which also occurs if I retrofit my document
    provider to use DefaultDocument instead of my custom Document. It
    appears to me this is happening for a good reason... DocumentImpl is
    not related to DocumentDef or at least at the very minimum DocumentDef
    is not an extension or implementation of DocumentImpl.
    Any help is much appreciated,

    In case someone else actually reads this, it was an id10t error on my part.

  • All of a sudden, files are brown in Lightroom, but not when exported or viewed in Bridge.

    Look at the Histogram. The color layer on top is usually gray tones (not brown). The thumbnails are white dishes on white. As a yesterday, all the images displayed correctly. I opened LR4 today to this. I have not changed or updated my OS since.
    I had to export some images for a client today. I already did touchups. When export them, they look perfect. I also viewed all the photos in Bridge - color is correct. Any thoughts? Thank you.

    Corrupt Monitor Profile. If you calibrate, then recalibrate. If you don't calibrate (you should), change the monitor profile temporarily to sRGB, which will fix things until you get a proper calibration done.

  • How can I make my images look good when exporting to PDF document?

    Hello! I'm struggling here with a PDF Brochure that I need to create (intended for web only, not print).
    There are two images that look horrible and pixelated when I create my PDF file. I have tried everything, making the images bigger and smaller, using 72 dpi images and 300 dpi ones. Everything results the same way... It looks perfect in my InDesign file, but in the PDF it looks all damaged. Here are two screen shots, one of how it looks in the PDF and one of how it looks in InDesign.
    Could you please tell me what I need to do to guarantee that the image looks good quality in the PDF? (My document is 40cmx20cm, I don't not if using cm is affecting the document).
    To export to PDF I'm using the option: Adobe PDF pressets --> Smallest file size.
    If you can help me I would really appreciate it!
    Thank you,
    Nataly.

    If it's for the web, why not export to JPEG?  Why PDF?
    Terrible idea. In a JPG the text will not be alive, you loose all interactivity.
    And making JPGs with InDesign is not what the program is meant to make.

  • Image aliasing when exporting print PDF at 300 ppi (bicubic downsampling)

    Hello,
    i am trying to describe a problem which persists since version CS3 of InDesign. It's about aliased edges in images in a certain angle; occuring when exporting the brochure as PDF file (at 300 ppi). The placed images are always at a higher quality than needed (for example 780 ppi effective). The aliasing is not there when opening the original image files in photoshop (viewing at 100%).
    The PDF export settings are:
    - Compression: Bicubic downsampling to300 ppi for images above 350 ppi (for color images, grayscale images and monochrome images)
    - Crop Image data to frames
    - Marks: Crop Marks and Page Information
    - Output: No Color Conversion
    - Advanced: Transparency Flattener: High Resolution
    - Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
    - PDF /X-3:2002
    Below are two screenshots
    - The left one was the original image, downsampled to 216 mm in width using automatic bicubic downsampling
    - The right one is the result when exporting a InDesign Document with the same width to a PDF with the mentioned settings
    Downsampled in Photoshop CS6 to 216 mm width
    Exported from InDesign CS6 with mentioned settings
    I have no clue what happens here, but it looks like the internal downsampling of InDesign CS6 is not very good.
    When i write a PostScript file of the brochure and put it in Distiller (with the same PDF Preset as above), the image looks like the one made with Photoshop. So this problem has to lie somwhere deep in InDesign or it's settings.
    Anybody with similar experiences?

    Something about your test looks off. The export from ID and export from PS PDFs are both zoomed at 1200%, but the export from ID vrsion is 90% smaller.
    Yeah I noticed that I actually had the image in InDesign scaled @ 90%, so the effective ppi was around 650.  I get the same jagged results when I use anything other than a 300 or 600 effective ppi.  Whereas if I use a 650ppi image in Photoshop and export to PDF, it downsamples smoothly.
    Rob Day wrote:
    The diagonal lines in your test are 1 pixel so at 300ppi to an offset press at 150lpi, the lines would be less than a halftone dot so I'm pretty sure you would need a loupe to see any difference. Maybe with a stochastic screen there would be better resolution but still difficult to see. So if the printing is that good I would just export without down sampling. With disk space running at 15 cents a gigabyte there's not much to gain with a downsample.
    It becomes noticeable with some images more than others, but I'm printing a lot of images of buildings and drawings with sharp lines that converge to a point, or are distinguishable in the full size image but indistinguishable when downsampled.  This can introduce distracting patterns when they aren't downsampled smoothly, something like this:
    Unfortunately the printers near me aren't very good, so I'm having things printed online, and this particular printer (blurb.com - for a small job) won't accept large PDFs without compressed/downsampled images :/  I'm making 300dpi versions of the really crucial images for the time being, but I'm hoping there is a better solution!
    The other issue is exporting the PDF for use on the web, either as a download or on an online PDF viewer like issuu.com.  The two PDFs on the right side of my test look much better in these situations.  Is there any disadvantage to using Distiller to make my PDFs for this purpose using the Device Independent setting?  I don't have any special interactive elements. 

  • Multi line hyperlinks problem when exporting to PDF

    I have a problem with hyperlinks i multiple lines when exporting a InCopy document to PDF. Its only the first line of the hyperlink that actually gets convertet to a link in the PDF file, the second line is just text.
    Is this a known problem and is there a fix or a workaround?
    We are using fully pached InCopy CS5 and Acrobat 9.

    Is there are a real hyperlink there or are you counting on Acrobat to convert it for you?

  • Issues with black psd files on black backgrounds when exported to PDF.

    Hello there,
    I'm having an issue since I upgraded to leopard and moved all my stuff from my old macbook pro (running OSX 10.4) to my new macbook pro (running OSX 10.5). CS3 didn't seem to have any problems before but now when I export an Indesign file with a black background containing a photoshop layered tif with a black background to pdf, the appears to be a big difference between the blacks - the Indesign file's black appears to be a mid grey.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Here's how it all looks in InDesign: http://aycu14.webshots.com/image/48613/2005862333507831436_rs.jpg
    But this happens when exported and viewed in Acrobat (or preview etc.): http://aycu02.webshots.com/image/49801/2005871851784365159_rs.jpg

    In ID prefs go to Appearance of Blacks
    and set both instances to display Blacks Accurately.
    You will need to measure the rich black in the Tiff and make a rich black swatch in ID and use that for your book cover. now the blacks will match.

  • Pages changes the page size when exporting to pdf

    Hi Christine
    I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
    Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
    Can you  please let me know the version of CR you are using?
    You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
    BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

    When opening a second document, InDesign CS6 alays crash on OSX LION - IMAC 27"
    Here's crash report : http://pastebin.com/GrWdaQ7x
    Any idea ?

    Check for Third Party plugins. Make sure that you only have plugins that come with InDesign application. Remove custom/sample plugins and try again.
    If the above doesn't work, delete InDesign preferences (at C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign).

  • Possible Bug in ID5.5 When Exporting Images to ePub

    Just wanted to relate my experience with exporting images to ePub in InDesign CS5.5. I've already spent the better part of two weeks trying to find a resolution for the problem with Adobe's customer service techs in India. Nice guys, but so far not of much help.
    Here's the problem. when exporting ID documents to ePub, and you're selecting your options in the "Image" export dialog box, you are offered two choices: "Fixed" and "Relative to Page." In theory, "Relative to Page" is the best choice because this means your images will be automatically scaled for the different viewing devices (i.e. iPad, Kindle, mobile phone, laptop). If you select "Relative to Page," however, your images will export with pixilation.
    This may not happen to everyone, but it happened to me, as well as the last tech I spoke in India. I'm using a MacBook Pro running 10.6.7. Don't know what he was using, but he got the same results on his end when exporting an image to ePub using "Relative to Page." For me, the fonts look especially horrible in Adobe Editions. If you select "Fixed," they'll export just fine, (looked great in Adobe Editions and Kindle Previewer), but don't know how fixed size renders in the different devices.
    This particular exchange was last Friday. The tech verified that we had a problem he couldn't solve and told me he had to speak with his "senior," who had already gone home for the weekend. I received an email today informing me that all I had to do was select the high quality performance settings in ID, and the image would look "pretty" while the file was open in the program. Really? I mean, duh. What does that have to do with the EXPORT problem?
    And yes, I know to select the maximum quality setting in export. I'm a photographer who has used Photoshop since the 1990s. Used InDesign, QuarkXpress, and Pagemaker, in reverse order for that long as well, so I know how to prepare a file for print and the web. The techs I've spoken with have assured me I'm selecting the correct settings. Program has not only been uninstalled and reinstalled, but I went the extra drastic step of wiping my harddrive and starting over. No third-party plug-ins installed that didn't come with the original Adobe software. Have the latest ID update. The problem simply doesn't have a solution in my case.
    Oh, well. As I say, nice guys, but this is my third time speaking with tech support about a problem with Adobe software. Not going to try again. IMHO, the customer service system/process could use some work.

    As I said, it may not happen to everyone. Perhaps with a different operating platform or system version it may not happen. I was only reporting it because it happened to not just myself, but to the tech half a world away who shared my screen, saw the problem, and recreated it on his own machine/system.
    Here are the selections in the ePub Export dialog box that caused the problem. I can't imagine that what is selected for TOC settings or other non-image settings would have to do with it, but here they are.
    1. File > Export > Choose ePub as Format
    2. In ePub dialog box: General Settings
    Include Document Metadata checked
    ePub Cover, you can select Rasterize first page or Use Existing Image File, makes no difference
    Ordering, Based on Articles Panel
    Formatting Options: Leave as Default
    3. In ePub dialog box: Image
    Preserve Appearance from Layout checked
    Resolution, doesn't matter what you select, all produces the same result
    Everything in the first section below this is as default
    Image Conversion: JPEG (I've been using JPEG, but also tried it with a TIFF, and even a Photoshop file, no difference)
    JPEG Options: Maximum, Progressive
    Ignore Object Export Settings: I usually have this checked, but have tried it unchecked, and it made no difference
    4. In the ePub dialog box: Contents
    Format ePub Content: XHTML
    Use InDesign TOC Style checked (I've tried the default, and my own TOC style, no difference)
    CSS Options: I've tried Generate CSS and Use existing CSS template, never used Styles only. Made no difference
    5. Click OK.
    If you need what I do from the beginning...
    1. New file: Print (not web, which tends to not honor the HTML tags on export). I typically chose 1024 x 768 because that's the screen resolution for an iPad.
    2. Command-D, place file. I've tried JPG, TIFF, even Photoshop files of varying resolutions from 72 to 300. Files sizes from 800x600 to 1024x768 to sizes approximately double this. No difference.
    3. Drag cover to Articles Panel and name.
    4. Layout rest of eBook, etc.
    5. Display performance settings while in ID are set to High Quality.
    6. Triple check for errors (always a green light before exporting).
    These are ePub files that have validated, after fiddling with the CSS and XHTML file, as necessary, of course. I don't mess with any image coding.
    That's the steps!

  • Change Formatting of Footnote Indicator when Exporting EPUB, how? CS6

    Hi,
    Well, it's all quite impressive so far. CS6 ePub capabilities are miles
    ahead of CS4, my last version, that's for sure.
    One thing I'm stuck on, though, is how to change the formatting of
    footnote indicators when exporting an ePub from InDesign.
    No matter what I do, when the ePub is viewed in ADE, the footnote
    indicator in the text comes out in blue, raised, and underlined. Also,
    it screws up the leading of the paragraph line it's on -- because the
    digit is raised, there line spacing above that line becomes bigger.
    I've tried applying a charater style in InDesign to footnote indicators,
    and I've played around with the settings in Document Footnote Option,
    but no joy so far. It's always raised, blue, and underlined.
    Anyone know how contorl the footnote indicator formatting in an exported
    ePub without opening up the ePub in an external editor?
    Thanks,
    Ariel

    Sigil is good to start with. As you grow more confident in editing e-pubs, you might want to ditch it though (it has its own personal set of annoying features).
    Superscripts are prone to mess up paragraph spacing in HTML, and with everything said and done, that's just what an e-pub is. Nothing you can do inside InDesign, it takes raw CSS editing to "fix" it (meaning, to make it less conspicuous than the downright stupid default handling!).
    But the blue-and-underlining bit is nothing you can fix -- for a real web page you can, but iBooks, for instance, INSISTS on having hyperlinks formatted that way, whether you like it or not.

  • Mixed fonts when exporting ePub file from InDesign

    I am an ePubs newbie and have been watching some of the training videos on Lynda.com and  tried creating my first ePub document today.
    I am having problems with mixed fonts when exporting the file and viewing on iBooks on an iPhone.
    I have a document with paragraphs of text to be in a regular weight and certain words within the paragraphs are to be picked out in bold. So I've used a Paragraph Style for the main text and then used a Character Style to pick out the bold words. Simple enough!!
    On export I am not embedding any fonts as I have unchecked that option on the export dailaogue. I have used the same font family in InDesign, but I cannot work out why I am getting both Serif and Sans Serif fonts displaying when viewing it on the iPhone. The main body appears in the Sans Serif font, but I have the bold character styles, subheads and even the numbers in the numbered lists are all displaying in a Serif Font.
    In iBooks I can change the display font (I have the choices: Georgia, Iowan, Palatino, Seravek and Times New Roman) and this affects the fonts which are displaying as Serif, but the main body font remains constant as a Sans Serif (looks like Helvetica).
    I would ideally like all the fonts in the document to display as Sans Serif with certain words, plus the headings and subheadings to be in the bold weight version of the same font family.
    I've tried this in CS5.5 and CS6 with the same results.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions please.

    Hi Steve,
    Yes, you are correct. It is Anne-Marie Concepcion's videos that I've been watching.
    I understand what you are saying about testing in other readers and I will be looking into that further. However our main task is to get some of our client's manuals and documents into a digital version that can be read on  Apple devices, as these are what are being used by their sales force.
    We have already produced some documents for use on the iPad and have used iBooks Author for that with some success. They have now asked about getting something onto iPhones, so we are now looking into the ePub format to do that. I realise that ePubs can also be used on iPads, but we would still be pushing the iBooks Author files for use on iPads as there is more interactive widgets that can be included. But the main ePub reader that will be used is going to be iBooks, so we are looking to get something to work in that App. Other formats may follow, but we are starting with getting something to work on iBooks first.
    I have tried viewing the file in Adobe Digital Editions as you have suggested and have to say that this displays the file in a way that is certainly more appealing, as the fonts are at least consistent. However, I understand from Anne-Marie's videos that ADE is rather basic and is only intended as a rough proofing device. Which is why I transferred my ePub to my iPhone and iPad to view in iBooks.
    As I have mentioned, I am a total ePub newbie. I come from a mainly print background and my knowledge of CSS and HTML is very basic. I have an understanding of the concepts, but I would always rely on developers to produce websites that I may have designed.
    You seem to be implying that it may be in iBooks where the issues lie and from viewing the file in ADE this would certainly look that way. So I am simply trying to establish what I would need to do to make it work in iBooks in a more satisfactory way.
    I have included some screen grabs below to illustrate my problems...
    ePub viewing in ADE
    If it looked like this on the iPhone I would be relatively happy!!!
    ePub on iPhone
    The main body copy is displaying in a sans serif font (Helvetica?) yet the heading, subheadings, numbers of the numbered lists, address, URL and legal line are all displaying as a serif font. All the style sheets are assigned to the same font family in InDesign (Helvetica). I have managed to get the bold text to appear in the sans serif font, by mapping the character style to the "strong" tag in the Export Tagging dialogue. All other paragraph styles are left as "Automatic".
    I can change the font in iBooks and this affects the displaying of all styles apart from the main body, which stays consistently in the "Helvetica" font.
    iPhone Fonts
    iPad Fonts
    On the iPad I'm also getting some elements coming in justified which looks awfull (see the main heading above). This image also shows how changing to an alternative font changes the heading and subheadings, but does not affect the main body!!!
    Any suggestions???
    Thanks
