Hi I created a EPUB with indesign cc and I'm trying to submitted it to iTunes Producer

Hi I created a EPUB with indesign cc and I'm trying to submitted it to iTunes Producer and only thing that happens is the little wheel keep spinning and spinning and spinning can you help? And is there a way to  decrease the size of my EPUB I'm getting a message saying that it is over 200 MB?

You haven't said if you're on a mac or PC. I understand that on a PC you can directly open an EPUB. But, as I am on a Mac I need a utility. I use a little app called EPUB Unzip and then to zip it back up you'll need EPUB zip. Just search on Google for them. They are open source (free). Or you can use Sigil to get into the EPUB without unzipping. Sigil is good, but does change the file structure a little bit, and for that reason some people don't like it. For a reflowable EPUB it doesn't matter much. Though I don't think I'd open a fixed layout EPUB with it. Sigil is also open source—it's very easy to use, too.
You'll also want an EPUB validation app. I use Pagina EPUBcheck 3.01 (open source). Or you can use the free online checker here: EPUB Validator (beta) though it's for SMALL files. I like Pagina because it suggests fixes for errors—even though those fixes may be completely greek to you and me.
Finally, I really suggest you get a subscription to Lynda.com and watch everything Anne Marie Concepcion has ever done on EPUB. While not the be all and end all, her knowledge is a very good place to start. Lynda.com is $25 per month but you can quit anytime (though um, I haven't, because well it's kind of addicting). So, even if you only use it for a month, you'll learn a ton and it'll be well worth it.
Lest I sound like some kind of freakin' expert, let me assure you this is a long and painful process, with little help out there for us "non-programmer" types who've been thrown in the lion's den. I am still learning everyday, by my own wits it sometimes seems.  Even today I am learning (most painfully yet) how to program a fixed layout read-abound book by trial and error, because even after BEGGING Adobe ON BENDED KNEES we don't have support for read-aloud and according to insiders hereabout they have NO PLANS to give us that. Yes. I am going to continue to whine about it, frequently.
It's late, and I've already had a glass or two of wine. (Not that you'd notice. ) Good luck on your journey. (Only 8 more circles of hell to traverse, so I've heard.)

  • Create unlimited folios today with InDesign CS5 and 5.5!

    Adobe's official statement
    http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2011/10/create-unlimited-folios-today-with-indesi gn-cs5-5.html
    Did you know…
    Customers with InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 can now create an unlimited number of .folio files for no additional charge.
    You already know that InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 integrate with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to allow customers to publish apps to tablet devices such as the iPad, Xoom and PlayBook. But for InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers who are interested in creating content for tablet devices but are not yet customers, it is now easier than ever to try digital publishing before making the financial investment in the Digital Publishing Suite solution that meets your needs.
    InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers can now:
    Create an unlimited number of .folio files in InDesign
    Preview them on Adobe Content Viewer  – including interactivity – to see how they will render when published to a tablet device
    Share them with colleagues or clients on a 1:1 basis via the Adobe Content Viewer
    Further, customers can now access the Folio Producer Service in the Digital Publishing Suite with a valid Adobe ID to manage and edit their .folio files. All of this can be done before purchasing Digital Publishing Suite.
    If you are interested in learning how to create an App directly from InDesign CS5 or CS5.5, without writing code or depending on a developer, feel free to try it. You can pitch ideas to your client or your boss; or you can build a portfolio of your work and preview it on a tablet device. Practice makes perfect, and with an unlimited number of .folios, you can practice as much as you want! When you’re ready to publish to an app store, you can select the Digital Publishing Suite solution that is right for you.

    I'm sorry EvBurk, what you want is intended not to work.
    All Adobe's promotional material concerning InDesign and Digital Publishing (including the above "official statement") carefully uses verbs like "create" or "produce". But they never mention "distribute" or "spread", without explicitly referring to their exclusive hosting services. The whole Folio thing (in contrast to the former "issue" format) revolves around not giving you any chance of physically exporting, managing or owing the folio file itself. It's always somewhere on Adobe's or Apple's servers, or on your iPad, which is also as shut as a vault. So there's no way to export a folio file and toss it around like a pdf or jpeg. All you can do (without a paid distribution) is "share" your folio with some others, under the idea of "testing" and "reviewing". But this can be a cumbersome method. And even when paid (for the app), it's still difficult to distribute it outside Apple's or Android's market.
    More than a year ago (in the middle of the Flash-on-iOS debate) Adobe users, developers, bloggers, and evangelists heavily criticized Apple's "walled garden". Adobe literally stated "We Love Apple - What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web." Well, you could say now: "I love Adobe, but what I don't love is Adobe taking away my freedom to own my files, and distribute them on my own terms." They let us create, but not spread our ideas. It's like giving you a typewriter and copier, that only works with Adobe stock paper. Like giving you a voice and an instrument, but only allowing you to sing and play in some walled gardens (dress code: Apple ID) or secluded shed (invitation only).
    I really wonder why they so fiercely protect 'their' Folio file. Why do they either have to be "under protection" or be turned into apps? I understand why Apple wants and needs to curate apps, but they don't mind me spreading my own ePubs, mp3 or jpegs. Why doesn't Adobe let me put my folio's on my own server, or send them off to someone with my own preferred service? The Content Viewer could easily be an Acrobat-like reader and let the iPad open folio's (by web links or mail enclosures) into it. If I see how many questions, worries, and problems creators and users have due to this whole closed technique and business, it would be easier to just let go and see what happens. Is it money? Of course it is. But my guess is that Adobe would eventually benefit more from it.
    So I hope Adobe declares the Folio as an "open" standard soon, but they're definitely not in that stage. Maybe the specification of the file format just isn't ready yet. Maybe some managers need to remember again how to "Spread the Love"...

  • Creating an app with InDesign (and Creative Cloud)

    Help needed!
    I have InDesign (through Creative Cloud) and want to create an app (i am also apart of the Apple Developer Program through our company). I have watched the informative video that takes us through all the steps ("InDesign Layout to iPad App"), but when i go to 'Folio Builder' there isn't a tab called 'Create App'). I dont know what i am missing, has this button changed to something else or has the process changed? I have been going through everything and i cant find the answer.
    I have zero qualifications in creating apps (this first one is a muck-around to try out a few things i have learnt from watching videos and reading), but it was seeming quite easy through InDesign, before i got to this last step.
    THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Creating an app with InDesign requires downloading and learning the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. The DPS forum is best place to learn what you'll need to do so I'm moving your question there.

  • How to create a contract with one supplier and two dealers?

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a contract with a supplier (eg. Apple), but the products and services are supplied by two dealers.
    The supplier is the manufacturer and with whom the negotiation of prices is made.
    The dealers are those who make the delivery of the products and services and who the payment is done.
    How can I create a contract with these characteristics in SRM 7.0?
    I don't want to create two contracts with same products and services for two suppliers (Dealer_1 and Dealer_2).
    How can this be handled through business partner type "Vendor"?
    In "Partner" section in "Header" --> "Basic data", I can only add 1 vendor.
    The system is:
    Component software: SRM_SERVER
    Release: 700
    Level: 0008
    Support package: SAPKIBKV08
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Alonso Valenzuela

    Hi Wadim,
    I have a similar requirement to create order lines in an existing contract with reference using  BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE.  The order lines get created in the contract. However, the condition types from the order line which i'm referencing are not getting referenced and are not getting added in the Contract's line after referencing.
    Did you come across any such issue ? If yes , could you suggest the solution ?
    Regards,
    Venkat.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Problem creating a table with a subquery and a dblink

    Hello!!
    I have a little problem. When I create a table with a subquery and a dblink, for example:
    CREATE TABLE EXAMPLE2 AS SELECT * FROM EXAMPLE1@DBLINK
    the table definition is changed. Fields with a type of CHAR or VARCHAR2 are created with a size three times bigger than the original table in the remote database. Field of type DATE and NUMBER are not changed. For example if the original table, in the database 1, has a field of type CHAR(1) it is create in the local database with a type of CHAR(3), and a VARCHAR2(5) field is created with VARCHAR2(15).
    Database 1 has a WE8DEC character set.
    Database 2 has a AL32UTF8 character set.
    Could it be related to the difference in character sets?
    What can I do to make Oracle use the same table definition when creating a table in this way?
    Thanks!!

    That is related to character sets, and probably necessary if you want all the data in the remote table to be able to fit in the new table.
    When you declare a column VARCHAR2(5), by default, you're allocating 5 bytes of storage. In a single-byte character set, which I believe WE8DEC is, that also happens to equate to 5 characters. In a multi-byte character set like AL32UTF8, though, 1 character may require up to 3 bytes of storage, so you'd need to allocate 15 bytes to store that data. That's what's going on here.
    You could still store all the data if you create the table locally by explicitly requesting 5 characters of storage by declaring the column VARCHAR2(5 CHAR). You could also set the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter to CHAR rather than BYTE before creating the table, but I believe that both of these will only apply when you're explicitly defining columns as part of your CREATE TABLE. I don't believe either will apply to CTAS statements.

  • I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac

    I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac.  I need an older version of indesign but do not have a serial number....any suggestions?

    I see then I believe Kglad's advice is on track with starting with updating your printer drivers.  I have also moved this discussion over to the InDesign forum as the Users in this forum likely have additional suggestions.
    Also if you can please turn off your e-mail signature if you want to respond via e-mail.  Your responses are going to a public forum where the information is accessible by anyone.  I have edited your previous response to remove the signature.

    I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    Probably because they don't accept that media.
    Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

  • Has anyone been able to create a HtmlDataTable with dynamic col and rows?

    Has anyone been able to create a HtmlDataTable with dynamic col and rows?
    If so please explain. I am successfully able to dynamically add columns using the getChildren method of the htmldatatable object
    BUT for each new column created no data is displayed.
    I am only able to display data for columns originally created when i clicked and dragged the dataTable icon from the pallette in netbeans visual web kit.
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I have been searching the web and these forums for around 8 hours and no one seems to have a working example of this. Lots of similar posts asking how to do it though :(
    Thanks in advance.
