Fixed Layout ePub – OpenType features not working

Hi,
I'm working on a ePub with fixed layout using InDesign CC 2014.
I have used some OpenType features like small caps and old style figures for numbers - but they don't appear correct in the ePub.
What can I do?
Thanks for your help

The small caps are wrong in Source Sans Regular. This are not correct small caps . This seams to be missing in the font.
But in italic style you will find correct small caps. They only work in InDesign not in ePub.
And if you look in my images (first from InDesign, second from Radium - iBooks looks the same) you can see many difference between InDesign and ePub.
Note the word "pfiffig", the I at the beginning of "Igor" in second paragraph and the "a" in the italic paragraph.
This is very frustrating!

  • Fixed layout ePub page turn not working in portrait mode

    Hello all,
    First time poster here. I created a childrens book, full color ePub from the Apple 3.1 ePub template. Everything sems to work great in general.  But I wanted the book to be in portrait mode only to get the most out of the graphics. I have the package.opf file set for portrait mode, which shows just one page (correctly), but when turning pages the cool page turn animation does not work when testing on my iPhone5 and an iPad2.  Pages just slide left or right.  But when I change the opf to allow landscape mode, when testing on iDevices, it shows two pages at a time in any mode and the page turn effect works perfectly.  Any way to get the page turn animation to work on just a single page in Portrait mode? To add to it I have an ePub example book from a non-Apple publisher that defaults to single page portrait, and is mostly text (so I'm not sure if its fixed layout or not), and the single page portrait mode allows the page turn animation to work perfectly.
    Thanks all!

  • Fixed layout ePub - hyperlinks not working?

    A question: I am making a fixed layout ePub for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. The file contains lots of text and some graphics and links to a website. However, when I export the fixed layout ePub, all the hyperlinks die. I read from many forums that this is very common and couldn't yet find a way around it.
    Is there a way to have a fixed layout ePub WITH working hyperlinks, or this combination not possible with Indesign CC?

    They should be working if you've updated InDesign CC 2014 to the latest update (October release):

  • What .swf file interactivity works in a Fixed Layout ePub?

    I've test a .swf file in an fixed layout ePub file and it seems that the animations work but none of the navigation buttons. Can someone confirm what .swf features work and don't work in fixed layout ePubs.

    "eventListeners" is not an InDesign feature for buttons.
    I think you're out of luck.

  • Fixed Layout EPUB is not displaying correctly in any of the popular epub readers.

    Hi,
    After creating the doc in the Indesign cc, I exported it to the fixed layout epub format. The result was catastrophic! The images, text, font size - everything was chaos. I needed the epub to be working in ipads and android tablets.
    Can anybody help? Need to deliver it to my customer on priority.
    I tried the output in ibooks, Aldiko, ADE and a few other popular readers.
    Thx
    VJ

    Hi Ananda,
    Adobe Digital Editions has come up with a new update ADE 4. You can view your Fixed Layout EPUB here. Please note that ADE 4 on Mac works fine with FXL EPUB exported from InDesign CC 2014, you might see some issue on Windows though. We are aware of the issues and the team is working on fixing these issues with ADE on Windows.
    Readium is also a good reader which displays FXL EPUB fine.

    Hi,
    Have you applied superscript via Control Panel or Character Panel's fly out menu? I am asking this because if you have specified via open type settings, then this will not be honored.

  • Fixed layout ePub not display truetype font properly when uploaded to Amazon

    I've created a kids book with inDesign CC which works fine on iPad but when I upload the book to Amazon KDP, the font which is a truetype font and not protected doesn't display properly. It has unusual spacing between the charaters and sometimes the letters overlap each other.  Can i embed this font somehow to have it display properly? I can't find an option anywhere to do that. Or will I have to change the font entirely?  Many thanks.

    Hi Yves,
    Yes, it is an SIL license. I am not using Allatuq anymore, I switched to Quicksand which I got from fontsquirrel.com.
    Yes, there is a fixed layout epub option in inDesign CC 2014:
    It even has some default sizing options though I have gone with a custom size to account for larger devices, desktop reading etc and am hoping that it's going to work.
    The Kindle previewer (desktop version) displays perfectly.
    The online previewer has had some display issues with what looks like drop shadows on some images but i'll need to look at the actual file on multiple devices to see what the reality is.
    There are some inconsistencies between how the fonts look in the previewers. The online one is not perfect and the desktop previewer displays exactly as designed so again, I won't really know until I can get my hands on the devices. There is also a sizing issue with the online previewer that the desktop previewer doesn't seem to have. And then there will be the issue that the "purchase" file isn't consistent with the preview file you download so not sure how it will all pan out yet.
    I had lots of overlapping and other character spacing issues until I changed my font to the OTF Quicksand with the SIL License. I'm hoping the drop shadows are just an issue with the online previewer.
    And I'm hoping my conclusion is correct that the OTF with the SIL licenses work for embedding so long as you remove the encryption and replace the encrypted font with the orignal version (and include the license). And I'm hoping that is allowed.

  • In a fixed-layout epub is there a way to turn off the faux spine effect for just one pair of pages?

    I'm formatting a graphic novel as a fixed-layout epub.  Because the pages are generated in Manga Studio with an intended print target, it by far makes the most sense to just use a single, large image for each page.  I'm coding the .opf, .xhtml, and .css files by hand, and I more or less understand everything I'm doing.
    Because the pages are often full bleed, I actually want the faux book chrome afforded by having <meta property="ibooks:binding">true</meta>.  The shadow effect in the gutter gives a nice deliniation between the pages without me having to do anything additional with the formatting.
    However... a handful of pages in the book are two-page spreads.  These look good enough with the shadow spine in the middle, but they would obviously look better without it.  What I'd like to do is identify these particular page pairs as two-page spreads and turn the binding chrome off for just that page pair.  I could of course "fake it" by adding a shadow to the pages themselves (except the spreads) and turning off the binding chrome on the entire book, but it'd be a lot easier to be able to do it in software.
    Apple's formatting guide mentioned nothing of the sort, and searching for a while hasn't turned up anything (not even anyone asking the same question so far as I can tell).  I'm guessing this isn't possible, but it never hurts to ask.  Anybody know of a way to do this?

    Just found this... Sorry to waste the post...

  • How to prevent page turn in margin tap on a fixed layout ePub ?

    I have created a fixed layout ePub for Apple iPad with some on-touch animations on tap. It works fine except the pictures which are in extreme margins (left and right). On touch it activates page-turn rather than the required animation. Is there any way to prevent page turn? Please help.

    event.preventDefault() should do the trick on your own controls. If you are using one of the built-in iBooks shortcuts (read-aloud start/stop button comes to mind) then you may not have full control.

  • Fixed layout Epubs versus PDF!

    I have this niggling thought that I can't seem to shake off, so I'll air
    it out here:
    What is the difference between a fixed-layout ePub and a PDF? I mean,
    what is the intrinsic difference? Isn't a PDF precisely a fixed-layout
    ePub, only better?
    A PDF has searchable text. It can be enlarged or reduced at will on the
    screen. In a fixed-layout ePub, the line breaks are fixed, as are the
    position of the graphics.
    So why a fixed-layout ePub??

    EPUB allows access to new distribution options and new tooling and integration options (ex: HTML animation/interactivity) also become possible because EPUB is based on web technologies.
    IMHO, it is the rise of ebook stores which has driven EPUB - I can sell an EPUB in a store, not so much with a PDF.
    Here is the first EPUB that the team knows about which was created with the new FXL export feature:
    iTunes - Books - Outside the Box by Karma Wilson
    Obviously this could have been created as a PDF (which it was when they went to print it in on paper since the original files were InDesign) but by ALSO exporting to EPUB FXL it made it possible to reach this store.
    In the end it is all about the specific reading-apps/device and what format you have to create in order to reach that app.

  • Hyperlink Problem when Creating Fixed Layout ePub

    Hi guys, not sure if anyone can help...
    I've created a fixed layout ePub from a print document and everything works perfectly apart from I can't get hyperlinks to work.
    Originally I'd set up the hyperlinks on my text which didn't work. After a bit of digging around I found some documentation stating that text hyperlinks don't work and that they need to be fired from an image. Also, internal links (to other pages) don't work, only links to external URLs - fortunately for me - all my required links are to external URLs, however, they still don't appear to work... does anybody have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
    I'm testing with Redium on Windows 7 and iBooks on iPad Air
    Thanks in Advance
    Kindest regards
    Poll

    Hi Poll,
    The hyperlinks are set on what kind of objects? If the external hyperlinks are applied on a text frame or a rectangle, it won't work. There are two cases that work:
    1. Hyperlink on images
    2. Hyperlink on objects in a group and the group is set to rasterise from Object Export Options dialog.
    What is your case which is not working? Please elaborate.
    Regards,

  • Fixed Layout EPUB - for multiple devices

    We are looking to create an EMAGAZINE or EPUB with a fixed layout for employee benefit guides that will be viewed on multiple devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile - both PC and MAC devices) and I am wondering what is the best style to use to accomplish this? With the new fixed layout EPUB, it creatively meets our needs, but will it work on a PC? Or tablet that is not Apple?
    What are the best options for a picture heavy/table heavy online "book" created in InDesign?
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    Hi Jamie,
    Yes you can view your fixed layout epubs on a PC/tablet, there are multiple fixed layout readers available on devices. For PC there is Readium that is a Chrome extension.
    Thanks

  • Fixed Layout ePub - please help me embed video and/or use Folio overlay with web content

    Hi
    I have an In Design file used to create a print book (11"x11") and have decided to use CC 2014 to create a fixed-layout ePub 3 for a digital version.  I converted the book over with minor issues of having to change the font and it looks beautiful.
    I would like to add videos at the end of the book to take advantage of the flexibility of the digital format.  I create a year-end slideshow of my photos and host them on Vimeo.
    I have tried the following:
    Using the Vimeo standard embed code in an HTML element
    Using the old flash Vimeo embed code and converting to HTML - worked great on iBooks on Mac but not on iPhone/iPad as flash-based
    Hosting and linking to videos on my own web server and using the Media - insert video link to the mp4 file
    Hosting and linking to videos on my old photo server at smugmug.com
    I can embed the actual videos but, at their smallest size they increase the file size of the ePub from 78MB to 400MB...
    I then thought I would use a Folio Overlay - Web Content.
    The idea is to use this blank page on my website which would look for all intents and purposes like another white page in the book - 2012 Slideshow - Oren Photography
    The overlay works in Folio Preview but not when exported as an ePub
    Is this a limitation of the ePub format?
    Any help/advice/suggestions on fixing this are greatly appreciated.
    E

    Thanks again Steve and Bill
    My interest in embedding videos was largely to minimize the final file size and amount of space used on each person's device.  I ended up following your advice about using Adobe Media Encoder to minimize the size of each slideshow but it still increased the final ePub from 65 MB to over 200 MB.  And that was with video quality that was far inferior from what I could offer through an embed or, my final solution, a link out to my website.
    I happen to be of the same thought as Bill that most people are now connected to the internet and would favor a smaller file with access to online content over a very large file.  I would have liked to embed the videos and allow 720p quality inside the ePub over the link I ended up settling for.
