External Hyperlink behavior in iBooks ePub created with iWork Pages

I am new at ePup publishing. I'm using iWork pages and exporting to ePub. Things were going great until........
I started playing with the hyperlinks in my ePub book in iBooks. I am doing this with an iPad and an iPod Touch. I'm in iBooks, I click on the link, the Safari browser opens and displays the page. As far as I know, I have to close the browser window to get back to the book. I do this by pressing the home button on the device. Now I have a blank screen. I have to open iBooks again to get back to the book.
This is a bunch of work for the reader of my book, I want them to see a bunch of images. this is awful. It is not acceptable.
Is this an ePub problem or an iBook reader problem? My guess is iBooks but I'm not sure
The system should have the facility to look at the external page within iBooks and press an X button to close it so the reader can continue reading.
So now I'm thinking I will need to go back and insert all the images in my book. I think I will proceed to do this once I know for sure there is no better course of action.
Smart and knowledgeable people, please tell me, is there a better way to let my reader see images without a bunch of button pressing?

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

HT204394 how to rename a document created with iwork pages

how do one rename a document created with iwork pages?

So the "Rename" command is not supposed to work? It is a dead link and crashes Pages.
Where did Pages save the file that I wanted to put into the folder of related documents. Please bring back "save as" or ask where we want the file saved. How else can I find it later?

How can I expand the gutters in a document created with a Pages brochure template?

How can I expand the gutters/ space between panels on a document created with a Pages brochure template?

You haven't said which.
Each panel is usually just a locked object, unlock them and resize the boxes.

Where to sell fixed layout ePubs created with ID CC 2014?

I'm wondering where I can sell my eBooks created with the fixed layout ePub3 option in InDesign CC 2014.
I have already uploaded my first book to Apple iBook Store and it is online there.
But are there other stores where I can sell my book? What is with Google Play, Kindle, Kobo?
Has anyone already experiences?
Thanks for your helps
Almute

Here's a chart that Anne-Marie Conception referred to in her webinar on Fixed Layout EPUB from InDesign CC 2014 which tells which features are supported by which platforms for EPUB3:
EPUB 3 Support Grid | BISG
Presumably, if a platform supports the feature, then it should be publishable on their bookstore.

Cannot get an invoice created with IWork Numbers to open correctly in Excel

I used the Template in Numbers to create an invoice,and it's great.
However, I cannot seem to open this file in Excel no matter how I send it, no matter how I save it.
Have saved as windows friendly, have saved as Excel file.
I have to be able to have these opened by others with Excel and/or OpenOffice and, Office staff must be able to work with the file to update/modify invoices.
I even tried Pdf and Adobe Acrobat Pro thinking they would be able to do data entry that way-No luck.
Desperately need a solution or a year of working with IWork is going to be lost.
We have now added staff, and in other locations, and have to be able to work across platforms.
No problems importing Office files of any type, but have to be able to export as well and have cells and formatting remain workable.
I can open the files in Excel but they are unusable, in several pages, basically no invoice template left.
Thanks for any help.

If you are getting three Excel worksheets, the export is working as designed. You have to remember that the heart of an Excel worksheet is a monolithic table. Everything is aligned in a tabular grid. Numbers, on the other hand, allows you to have multiple tables on the same sheet that have different column and row widths and the tables can be placed wherever you like, offset from the other tables by whatever amount you desire in any direction you desire. The invoice template is a good example; the two tables are very dissimilar in format and in column widths. If Numbers was to export the two tables from the invoice template into a single sheet of an Excel workbook, which column widths would it use? The ones from the first table or the ones from the second? No matter which it chose, the result would be quite different from what is in Numbers. Now include some text boxes, graphics or charts. With the tables moved around and resized to align to the Excel grid, these other items would also have to be moved around. But to where. It would be impossible to make an exported file look anything like it did in Numbers except in specific instances. This is why Numbers creates separate Excel sheets when it converts to Excel.
I know that diatribe did not help you solve your problem. To solve your problem, everything must be designed as one table in Numbers. Here is how you can do it. It is a bunch of steps but is really simple to do.
1) Select all the rows from the first table.
2) Drag them sideways out of the table and drag them to the second table, inserting them just below the first row. I think this is explained in the Numbers User's Guide.
3) Add a new row below the rows you just inserted (this will become your new row 8)
4) Select the cells in row 1. Copy. Paste to your new row 8.
5) Delete row 1
6) Go to the Table Inspector and turn on Name (check the checkbox). Name it Invoice.
7) Back at the table, deselect the table if it is still showing the column letters and row numbers in order to see the table name
8) Click twice on the table name above the table to select it. It will box it in, it does not select the text.
9) On the toolbar, change the font size and color and set it to left justification.
10) Delete the textbox with the word "Invoice" in it.
11) Delete the textbox with "sincerely yours ... Your name". Or, if you want to keep it, add another footer to the table, increase the height of that new footer and type "Sincerely yours," and your name in there. Note that you use option-return to create the linefeeds in the cell.
12) Select the table and slide it up toward the top of the sheet.
13) Adjust the column widths as best you can. I increased the column width of column B and right justified the text in cells A1-A6 and C1-C6 to get it looking okay. You might, instead, choose to insert a column or two and merge some cells together to align everything like you want it. And you might choose to add a row or increase the gridline width between the top half and the bottom half. I did not do those last few things. You can play around to get the design you like best.
The export looked almost exactly like the Numbers document.

How do I remove extra space after an image in an ePub created with InDesign?

I've designed more than a dozen ebooks with InDesign and have recently been having problems with the spacing after images, both images that are anchored in the text or stand-alone and exported through the Articles Panel. Following are a few details:
• In the Object Export Settings, I have the vertical spacing set to 0 both before and after the images and no breaks added.
• In the Export panel, I do not have any vertical spacing applied to images.
• I do not have any Object Style settings applied.
• It doesn't seem to matter if I anchor the image into the text or have it as a stand-alone image in the Articles Panel with the caption after it in a separate text box, also in the Articles Panel.
• I broke down the ePub into an html file and did not see any div or span classes that were different between images that are showing correctly vs. incorrectly.
• Extra space appears in both iBooks on my computer, as well as on my iPad.
• I converted to a mobi file for the Kindle and the space wasn't there.
See attached screen shot. There shouldn't be that big gap between the image and the orange caption.
Any help or suggestions anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I've tried everything I can think of with the same results over and over!

Yes. That is the technique I traditionally use to drop an image into text. I even cut and pasted again as you suggested with the same result. Trust me, this is driving me nuts. I'm not doing anything different than before, but my results are different, even within the same document. I'll attach a few examples, all from this same document.
How the space after my in-line image is supposed to look:
And then a few of the pages with the mystery gap:

HT4980 Adding Tamil Font to an iBook thats created with iBooks Author ?

I am trying to add Tamil Font ( Used for Indian Regional Language - Tamil ). I Have over 1500 titles on print and would like to digitalize them for iPads.
When I opened iBooks Author, I don't see any Tamil Fonts available. How do I get around this or is there any other steps that I need to take inorder to make this work.
Thanks in Advance.

but, I don't know how to activate the keyboard to type tamil within iBooks.
Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar. Then go to the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and select Tamil. Then type.
What you type in iBooks Author is automatically Unicode. I was referring to the case where you might use some sort of scanning to convert your print titles to digital text.

New session created with every page request

Hi,
I have an application running in portal framset. A user logins into a portal and has access to several applications, that are displayed in a frameset. My application is creating a new session for every page in the application. Of course, I can't keep session variables and a large amount of sessions are being created. What could be the reason for this, and is there a work around?
Thanks.

There is a chance the you have cookies turned off. Sessions are maintained via a jsessionid which is stored in a user cookie. If you (or another user) don't use cookies, then the session will be lost.
To fix this, every URL you use must be encoded, such that, if cookies are not used, the jsessionid is attached to the end of the URL. If you are using JSTL, the easiest way to do this is like this:
<c:url var="formAction" value="someOtherPage.jsp"/>
<form action="<c:out value="${formAction}"/>" method="GET">
<c:url var="nextPage" value="nextInLine.jsp"/>
<a href="<c:out value="${nextPage}"/>">Next</a> Or if you are not using JSTL, you can use scriptlets:
<%
String formAction = response.encodeURL("someOtherPage.jsp");
%>
<form action="<%= formAction %>" method="GET">
<%
String nextPage = response.encodeURL("nextInLine.jsp");
%>
<a href="<%= nextPage %>">Next</a>

Fixed layout ePub problem with facing pages

Hi,
I have a 240 page book made out of multiple inDesign files that I'm trying to convert to a fixed layout ePub. Everything works like a charm except the transition from one file to the next.
The book uses facing pages setting so when the file ends for example in page 40, it is a left hand page, and the next file starts from page 41 and that is a right hand page. After exporting to fixed layout epub, the resulting file has blank pages between the files. What I mean is after the left hand page 40 there is an empty right hand page, then an empty left hand page followed by right hand page 41.
What would be the easiest solution for this?

Hi,
I found the problem from the book panel so case closed. In "Book Page Numbering Options" I had "Insert Blank Page" selected. This didn't cause any problems when exporting to pdf but resulted in extra blank pages when exporting to ePub.
Attached is a screenshot from the book panel. The problem occurred between all the files.

Creation of PDF with different page sizes

I am generating PDF using Acrobat Distiller from my application from the .ps file. From one machine, the PDF is generated with different page sizes.one page with 8.5*12.99 and other pages with 8.5*11 in the same PDF. However the PDF is created with correct page sizes for all the pages in another machine. The only difference between the machines is the Internet Explorer version. I am using Internet explorere 11.0 and the other machine have a version of 8.0 installed.
Why the difference in page size occured? Is there any dependency on the Internet explorer used while creating the PDF using Distiller? Any help for the issue with the discrepancy in the page sizes is really appreciated.
Thanks!

Acrobat Distiller uses the page size in the PS file. May be a problem of your application which create the PS file.

Problem with JSF page in reused task flow

Jdev 11.1.1.4
I have a main JSF page with an af:paneltabbed.
The paneltabbed has two af:showdetailItem
In every showdetailitem there's a region.
In both regions I have the same fragment taskflow.
In this fragment task flow there's one page fragment (as a view activity).
If I'm executing the secondary page fragment in both showdetailitems at the same time, they interfere one each other. That's my issue.
This page fragment has a backing bean that depending on the value of a selectonechoice, shows or hides several fields.
If in showdetailitem A I make a selection that displays all fields and then I go to showdetailitem B and make a selection that hides all fields, when I go back to showdetailitem all fields are hidden as in B !
Is there any procedure in order to make indepedent both page fragments ? (in fact they are the same but executed in to different regions) I don't want instructions like "si1.setDisabled(true)" of one page fragment affect the other.
The page is quite complex and that's my main reason to reuse it.
The page flow is Transaction "Alway begin new transaction" and "Share data controls" disabled in order to make them as independent as possible but I don't think this can affect my issue.

The bean, that I know has Backing Bean scope which is the most limited scope that I know.
It is a standar bean created with: Design->Page Properties->Component Binding->checking Auto Bind. The one that is usually created in order to map a pages field and then be able to deal with the fields showing or hiding them.
By the way, in wich xml file is this registered ? I haven't found it. The only thing I have found is an XML comment at the end of the page's source code like this:
++
but I don't thing JSF is going to map the page to that bean only with this.
Now I'm working in the line to stop and restart both task flow when changing the tab of the panelbox. Restarting the task flow every time I lick in one tab should avoid this problem, wouldn't it ?

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.
