Export as ePub from Pages 09 v4.0.4 (614) crashes
Every time I export to ePub Pages crashes (Pages quit unexpectedly). I'm using OS X 10.6.4 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. File began in Pages. Inserted content into Apple's ePub template. Not using first page as cover and there are no floating images. Before I start tearing the file apart, any suggestions? Any length maximum for pages? Do objects causing wrap produce problems?

First track :
how was your system upgraded to 10.6.4 ?
If you used "Software Update", download and apply the combo updater which make a better job.

I am exporting an ePub from a 57.6 MB pages file on my retina MacBook pro and the exported epub is 982.9 MB in size. Exporting the exact same file from Pages on my MacBook Air give me a 97.8 MB ePub file.
Both machines run OSX 10.8.4 and Pages 4.3. And the Pages file resides in my Dropbox.
What is going on here?Also ask in the forum for Pages perhaps:

I'm finding it difficult creating exporting EPUB from pages. Help please!
Hello,
I'm finding it quite complicating on how to create and export EPUB files from pages so I can use these to send to iBooks on the iBook store.
Can someone please tell me in the simplest term, how to create and export an EPUB file in pages please???
Thank you!That's fine. If I wrote my book on pages on iPad, could I send via email as pages doc to my mac then open in pages on my mac and then export to EPUB from my mac?
I like writing on the move.
Thanks -
I can't export any files from pages unless I create a duplicate file. I can't export to doc, docx or pdf! Heeeelp!
what version of pages?
what is the files type that you are trying to export?
what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format -
While exporting epub from pages the final document lacks most of its images
Hi all
I have a 500MB document in Pages 5.2.2 running under Mavericks which contains almost 70 images in it.
I converted it into epub with Pages, but the final epub document contains only 16 images. The
Can anybody tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it?
Thanks!You need to divide your document into chapters, limit the number of images and also their size.
It sounds like you are using 7mb images which is very large for an ePub which is usually just screen resolution.

I read at http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/epub/howto/ that it is possible to export to ePub format from InDesign CS4. Is it also possible to export to ePub format from InDesign 2.0? I have a pdf and a Word document that I want to export to ePub format. But I can't get either one of them to open in InDesign. Would this problem be solved if I upgraded to InDesign CS4? Is there another way to make my PDF or Word document into an ePub by using InDesign 2.0 without upgrading?
Thank you.Liz Castro’s Kindle book is not available in my region; it’s blocked by Amazon.
As for InDesign 2.0, it generally works for what I need, and when it doesn’t do something that I need, I am told that InDesign CS5 doesn’t do it either. So for the time being, I see no compelling reason to spend the $700 on the upgrade.
By the way, I am also told by a colleague who knows InDesign well that while a Word document cannot be opened in InDesign 2.0, it can be “imported” by following the following steps:
- Create a new InDesign (.indd) file that corresponds to the number of pages, page size, and page margins of the Word document.
- Place the Word document on the page. This creates a textbox with the contents of the document in it.
- You may want to adjust the size of the text box to suit the margins.
- Go to the bottom right corner of the highlighted textbox and click on the plus signal.
- Place your mouse on the next page of the InDesign (.indd) file and click. This creates another textbox with the continuation of the text from the previous page.
- Do this consecutively on the rest of the pages and all of the text from the Word document will be imported.
- Sometimes, the formatting in the .indd file does not exactly match that of the .doc file, particularly for page breaks, tables of contents, indexes, and other front and back matter.
She says that some publishers use this technique, but it is more common to “link” an InDesign file to a text document that contains the text that is to be published. In this way, new editions of a book can easily be generated by simply updating the InDesign file to the source file when the text in the source file has changed.
On another note, if anyone can suggest a good program that can easily convert Word documents or PDFs to ePub files, I’d greatly appreciate the recommendation. I have read about Stanza Desktop and Calibre, both of which can supposedly convert both Word and pdf files to ePub format. There are others well, such as Web-Books.com, which can also supposedly convert .doc files into ePubs. The web site http://selfpublishingadventure.com/converting-word-files-to-epub-files/ recommends eCub and ePubGen, the ePub converter from Google, but the former doesn’t handle Word documents and the author of that web page said that ePubGen inserted arbitrary page breaks.
I’d like a program that can convert Word or pdf files while preserving as much as the formatting (particularly headings, styles, fonts, page breaks, page numbering, and embedded images) as possible without requiring a lot of manual revision. Suggestions/recommendations are welcome.

Choosing the optimum graphics resolution when exporting to epub from ID5
I'm creating a ebook for the iPhone that includes a bunch of images. I'd like some help choosing the correct resolution for those images when they're exported to an epub file.
These images were imported into an ID5 document as EPS files. They are 100% vector-based BW (2 bit) line art.
The Export to ePub dialog box gives me the option of choosing Low, Medium, High and Maximum resolution for bitmpas of the images that ID5 will create during the export process.
Smaller is better from the standpoint of file size and display performance, but I want the images to look sharp.
Which of these options is probably the best for the iPhone?
Thanks! --MikeDavid Bruce Hughes wrote:
Thanks for your replies. Upon further investigation, actually Pages is producing good code and it displays properly in various ebook readers, but not under iOS. *So this is not a Pages issue at all.*

Export is not exporting the data from Page. It always gets the data from VO
Hi,
I have got a critical issue, where I am Not able to export the current data from the page.
I have an export button and the VO is attached to it.
1) My page will execute the VO and I do some calculations to remove some rows, add the grand total etc.
2) The export button just re-executes the query and exports, which is not that, I want. I would like to export the current contents of the VO, which I manipulate and it is shown on the page.
To give an example -
My VO query is executed, when I click the Report button. I then adds Grand Total row to the VO and it gets displayed on the Page also.
Now, when I click the export button, it just exports the data which is coming from the VO SQL query, whereas I want the data from current state of VO i.e. with the grand total, which I added and is coming on the page also.
I will be really grateful, if someone can help me with this as it is really urgent.
Thanks for your help.
ShijuHi Shiju,
Is the export to csv opening fine with the data showing in individual columns when opening from internet explorer. What version of IE are you using? For us the export works fine from Firefox but does not work well in IE. From IE, the data shows with the commas in a single string. Appreciate your response as it will help us understand if our issue is local to our environment.
Thanks. -
Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF
I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillionThe font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,

Cs4.. nook export for epub skipping pages.
I have a book .indb file. Has 335 chapters in it. But each page is small. If I try to export a file for digital editions it skipps pages at after a certain page. I checked out which page was the last processed. Then checked the other pages out all around it. There is nothing wrong with these pages. So I made two smaller book files of the .indb type.
Thinking I would narrow down the problem page.
Part1: export created an .epub file... no pages skipped!
Part2: export said it skipped the last three pages. Still gave me visible pages up to the last three pages. Just what I thought if the error stated ...it skipped 3 pages.
So I thought it could be memory. I only have 1gig of ram right now.
I decided to see if I reduced the number of chapters or pages in Part2 and included the last three that were skipped maybe they would process.
So somewhere way above the last 3 ... I deleted 5 chapters .. they were up toward the beginning of the file. Nowhere near the last three.
The entire part2 of the book file excluding the 5 I delete still including the last three pages processed. There was nothing wrong with the skipped pages. So my question is. .. could it be because I only have 1gig of ram?
When a book file exports to digital editions, all chapters are being held in memory right... so maybe it couldn't process the last three. Any thoughts?
Thanks!I really hate to tell you this. InDesign CS4 was the first version to support export to EPUB. Virtually no one used it. It was very limited and very buggy.
You really need to be using a later version of InDesign, especially with a very large book. If you're having problems, I'm not surprised.
There were improvements in CS5, and major improvements in CS5.5, CS6 and CC. -
Preserving links when exporting to PDFs from Pages 5.1
Several people have noted that links do not survive after the first page of a PDF document when exporting from a Pages 5.x document to PDF. *IF* the links are dislayed as html code, they will survive: e.g.
html://www.apple.com
will work on all pages of the PDF document (anyway, it works on page 2!)
But if you edit the link and CHANGE THE DISPLAY NAME, the links will no longer work on page 2 and subsequent pages. E.g., this link will NOT work even though it resolves to the same address (i.e., html://www.apple.com).
apple.com
This is insane, of course. Any work arounds?Right, I know it will work if you don;t edit the display name. But one often will want to do that. If you were writing a column, say, you might say "In Dick Francis's novel Refusal, the author soes thus and such." That link is clickable. It would work natively in Pages 5, as in Pages 4.3, in a TextEdit document natively or exported to PDF, and in Apple mail, etc. It also works when you export from Pages 4.3 to PDF. In Pages 5, however, it only works (after the first page: who knows why it works on the first page!) if the display name is the same as the html code. This is a bug, or sloppy programming, or both.
I like Page 4.3 quite a lot. I has its limitations but it is simple without being simplistic. I had high hopes for Pages 5. Now that we have 5.1, though, I see that it is just not going to work for me or for my businesses. There are little things like the inability to set the default zoom (which is acutally quite annoying if your eyes are not so hot), the inabilty to see|print comments and big things like the lack of Applescript support, bookmarks, and mail merge. I thought Apple was going to be bringing back these features, but I see now that they are committed to the lowest common denominator. The people who say Apple is is the business of making "toys" are, alas, correct. I guess the business market is not big enough for them. I've actually removed pages 5.1 from all our our macs, and have removed 2.1 from our ios devices. We still have a few stray documents that were created or edited with Pages 5, but I've discovered that you can use Pages for icloud to download a pages file in Word format. Pages 4.3 can open and edit Word files, so that is a (cumbersome) workaround. We'll continue to use 4.3 (and 1.7.2 on the ipad) for the time being, but obviously will need to find something that has current support going forward. -
Why is it that when I export from Pages to a PDF that the Preview icon bounces and some of the font has turn yellow when I view it in Preview? Also in the side bar I can't view a normal thumbnail. Why does it do this!?
Check if it apply to every documents embedding these offending fonts.
If it does, run FontBook to check that these fonts are in correct state.

Problem with Page Splits in exporting to ePub from ID CS6 v8
Hi,
I have been working on several booklets for a client and after desiging the print version, we've been creating epub versions to be offered from their website. I've had the same issue arise twice now, with two different files.
The ID documents are created with Word docs that have some left over paragraph styling, which doesn't show in the print version, but require finding and fixing during epub exports. I have started out exporting the files to epub just fine, using the Paragraph Style that I had chosen for the Chapter Titles as the page break choice in the Advanced export tab in the Split Document dropdown list. It's worked multiple times, then suddenly reverts to Do Not Split, and the Paragraph Style for the Chapter Titles has dissappeard from the drop down list. The first time this occurred, I tried duplicating, renaming and changing the Paragraph Style used, but that new style didn't appear in the dropdown list either. For that file, I finally gave up, reverted to working with an older epub I luckily had, and hand fixed all the issues in the HTML files. Not fun.
However, it's a month later, and this same glitch has occurred in another file. Has anyone experienced this problem, and is there a fix for it? Would really appreciate some help with this one.

Last page rasterizing when exporting to EPUB from Indesign
Hello all,
I currently have a problem with the last page of my EPUB book rasterizing. This shows up in both Adobe digital Additions and iBooks. I cannot fathom why it is doing it, is there anyone who has come across this before?
fyi. It doesnt seem to matter what content is on the last page, the whole page turns into a flattened image (even text). I originally created the EPUB on Snow leapoard on OSX and recently upgraded to mountain Lion and I'm on Indesign CS6.
Any light on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
LeonieI've never heard of InDesign rasterizing the last page during EPUB export. I'd try the usual troubleshooting techniques.
Start by restoring your InDesign preferences. Here's how:
