How do I create a fixed layout landscape-only epub3 in Indesign?

Hi
I have been trying to create a fixed layout epub3 from indesign without results.
What I've done is to create a book with 4 pages in layout format 1034px/768px, each of them with text and pictures. I gave the text a style with the paragraph and exported in epub3 format.
When I upload this to the ipad it works as a epub2, the layout is not fixed.
When I open the files and read the code it actually is like a epub2, there is no fixed layout meta tag, there is no page dimension in each page, in the css the body size is auto and so on.
I also opened the files and added without any result the following in the .opf file.
<meta property="rendition:layout">pre-paginated</meta> (this should create the fixed layout option)
<meta property="rendition:orientation">landscape</meta> (this should create a landscape only view)
<meta property="rendition:spread">none</meta> (this should create a one page at a time view)
Is there a way of achieving what I want or it simply is a functionality not yet introduced?
Thanks for any advice

InDesign CS6 or earlier is not designed for creating fixed layout EPUB files. Essentially it would have to be done in a very painful, very manual process. Anne-Marie Concepcion describes the process in this Lynda.com video:

The Rorohiko product is the best thing going at the moment.

How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

You are asking about a Database User I hope.
You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
In particular, you may find:
Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
an intresting chapter.
You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
Create user John identified by Smith;
Grant CONNECT to John;
Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
commit;
There is much more you can do
depending on your needs.
Please read the documentation.

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display/

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

How to create a fixed Layout ePub?

I'm trying to create a photography book to sell as an ePub and on the kindle store - I've made plenty of iBooks and published them in the iBookstore - unfortunately one has recently been rejected because of Apple's censorship rules. My books look exactly the way i want them to in iBooks and want to recreate them as closely as possible to sell as mobi and epubs. I've noticed that unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a program similar to iBooks Author for making epubs... I've tried InDesign CS6 for epubs but moved to Pages as I thought it might be simpler.
So far I can't find any thing that explains step by step how to make fixed Layout epubs - in any program- usually I use Lynda.com but they only have fixed layout epubs for the iBookstore. My knowledge on inDesign and iBooks author is quite good but my knowledge on HTML is limited. Is this accomplishable?

How to add audio to fixed layout epub

Hi,
I'd like to know if adding audio to a fixed layout epub is possible or planned for InDesign? Specifically for read-aloud books—with highlighting each word. I know this can be done with a painfully manual process in the HTML. However it would be swell if it could be done in InDesign somewhat less excruciatingly slow?
I've read Pariah Burke's book on adding read aloud audio, but now with the new Fixed Layout capability it's out of date. Anyone know of other sources of info on this?
Sue Campbell

The IDs on <span>s are in the update just released yesterday.
When I was leading the EPUB team, I would have said that supporting an SMIL workflow for InDesign was extremely unlikely.
External tools are needed to map the IDs to the audio clips (that's what the SMIL file does) and then it all needs to get packaged up.
ID could do all the packaging of course, but it can't make the SMIL file and until ID does the export you don't know what the IDs are going to be.
So I always suspected that this would always be a post processing step that would have to occur entirely after the export and thus nothing for InDesign to participate in.
I found this book very useful in learning about the SMIL workflow - http://iampariah.com/books/creating-fixed-layout-ebooks - but of course the rest of it (published in 2013) is out of date since we're exporting the FXL from InDesign. There are obviously other sources to talk about how to do this.
I hope that helps.
Douglas

How can I make a fixed layout illustrated ebook using indesign?

I ave the book ready in Indesign and I have successfully exported it in pdf, but there seems no way to turn it into a successfull kindle format book or a working epub. Everything moves around and the images get small. I am using creative cloud, the amazon pugin does not work and I don't know how to proceed.

Creating fixed layout ePub books is quite complex. This new book might help:

How to manually create a Report Layout using Crystal

I am trying to create a new layout using Crystal for my Statements using BP Aging . the out of the box Crystal report for that will not work and it would be easier if i just decide what tables I want to look at. The problem is i am not sure how to set up the parameters so when i print from the aging it will automatically fill in my parameters with the correct information. I have already written the report but when i attempt to print from the Aging report it asks me for my perimeters every time. I tried to look at the out of the box version but it does not even use perimeters so i have no idea how SAP feeds Crystal what information to filter by. I'm using 8.80 PL 16 thank you in advance for any help you can give.

not really, The system one all comes from some sort of "pld" table and the only designations are the f-numbers (F_124) and i don't have a clue what those are, and when i try to link what should be an the invoice number to the OINV table other things come back blank even when i use left join. I need some of the information that is provided but i need more than what is currently there so i need the ability to link to the other tables and have it work for every one. (I'm trying to make it more like the dunnung statement only so it can be run at any moment in time and give the exact amount owed.)

How can I create a new excel workbook only with labview

Hi everyone...
I'm trying to create a new excel workbook only with labview but I can't find the file in the hard disk.
Someone knows?
Labview 8,0

Create new WB with LV.vi ‏18 KB

You are not using the correct mechanism. Pull up the Example Finder in LabVIEW, click on the "Search" tab, and enter "Excel". Look for an example called "Write Table to XL". Use this as a starting point for creating new workbooks and adding data to it.
Note: on disk the example is at <LabVIEW install directory>\examples\comm\ExcelExamples.llb.

How to make music in fixed layout Epub 3.0 stop at certain point.

For example there is option when you turn page music stops. But I need something different, when you turn several pages music is still playing and it stops only when you turn a specific page.

Sound files cannot be stopped. Video files can be turned off with a button. Videos can be sound only (no picture).
Buttons can have multiple events so a Next Page button could Stop Video and advance to the next page.

Ecommerce site - how do I create several product pages using only one table of data?

Hi
Im designing an ecommerce clothing site for my assignment using an access database.
When I create the Data Set it takes all the information from my Acess table "Products" , creating one huge list of products on a single web page.
However, i would like to have the product data split across many web pages depending on there specific Category given [i.e. T-shirts, Jumpers, Trousers, Bags, Acessories].
Does anybody know how to do this? I think it involves setting certain Parameters, or writing a SQL statement in Dataset.
Thanks for any help

How can I create a fIlter to delete only "junk" from the server?

One of my E-mail accounts is that of a major client. I handle their customer service online. Normally our protocol is to always leave all messages on the server, so for that one Thunderbird account, I have it set to never delete messages on the server.
But the account recently started getting a lot of junk messages. Thunderbird is doing a remarkable job at marking those and placing them in the junk folder for that account. I would like to create a filter that could remove them from the server, preferably those more than "x" days old so I could monitor the activity to be sure that no important message are removed.
I did notice that in "Filters" I can create a custom filter from a header of my choice, but can't seem to create what I want which is:
- after mail is marked as Junk by Thunderbird to delete those messages from the server if they are older than "X" days (my choice of "X").
- not delete any other messages from the server for that account

I believe that did it! Thank you. I am running those changes on a secondary E-Mail address for the same job and server and it appears to be working properly.
