How to fix Pages epub formatting changed in 4.3

I cannot get exported Pages documents to show "second header" formatting correctly when exported to epub.
Since I switched to using Pages because of its epub exporting this is very important to me.
I had no problems in 4.2.
1. Now in 4.3 my "second header" shows as a first header in TOC.
2. Now in 4.3 my "second header" shows as regular text instead of bold, centered, Helvitica, and larger point size. It defaults to the standard Times font, 14 point, left justified.
Any solutions?
Any workarounds?
Any updates coming soon?
My latest book is ready to go once I get past this problem.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

Thank you so much for your sage advice. Since I am always in the middle of important projects I will now never update my computer or even one porgram. Who knows what might happen? And so sorry for making a new post with more information, clarity, and a better focus. I am sure you are right about that too. Who would want or need more information to solve a problem? Who would want clarity or a single focus? Thanks again sweetheart.

How could the page background be changed?

It will be useful if in Adobe Reader the color of the page background could be changed, when possible (as in other PDF Readers). There are people like me who find stressing for the eyes a white background.

Thanks.

How to fix pages zoom level permanently in FF8 ?

I have 15,6 " laptop with Full-HD resolution. Therefore, by default all text is too small to read. In Windows 7 and in IE there is a possibility to set zoom to 125% permanently, and this fixes the problem.
In FireFox the text becomes readable if I click CTRL+ two times. But this CTRL+ affects either to one tab or to one website only. But how can I permanently fix this zoom level (CTRL+ two times) in FireFox for forever ?

You can use 1 of these add-ons :

How to fix "Unexpected File Format" in Adobe Flash Professional CS6

I am trying to access my Fla file and every time I try to open it, It keeps saying "Unexpected File Format" and then closing. This happened after the Auto Saving crashed the program.

How to fix page wrap

Ok, I can't get this page:
http://web.mac.com/jsimoneau/iWeb/Site/Photos%204.html
to work in Explorer on windows because I dragged that top shape behind my logo, off the page so it would only have rounded corners on the bottom. It looks fine in Safari but explorer seems to do a page wrap or something with it so my logo is at the bottom of the page?
Any ideas? Thanks!

ok, just had to give it a header of a pixel or two...

How to fix saving of metadata changed in LR?

Nine images of a total of 157 images scanned from photographs continue to show the "downward pointing arrow" despite numerous attempts to save metadata using Command-S. Same result using the dialog box seen when the metadata badge is clicked, "The metadata for one or more of these photos has been changed in Lightroom. Save the changes to disk?" > "Save".
When one or more of the nine images are selected and Command-S is pressed, a progress bar shows momentarily ending with "Task completed" and the badge disappears. However, after 1 - 3 seconds, it reappears.
Background: After scanning 157 photographs and importing into LR, typical changes were applied to crop, adjust WB, do minor restoration, etc. All of the files have been successfully exported as JPGs and TIFFs. However, after selecting the entire set and hitting Command-S, nine images continue to display the "metadata has been changed in LR" badge. The images were scanned over a period of several days and the odd nine are scattered throughout. They have no obvious commonalities.
I do not automatically write changes to XMP but instead use the Command-S. The catalog integrity check has been run repeatedly with no issues reported.
Am using a Mac Pro w/4GB and plenty of storage, OS X 10.5.7, and LR 2.4. Relative newbie to Mac but inspected file permissions and they seem in order.
This behavior is not occurring on four other LR catalogs.
Would appreciate assistance. Thank you,
Doug

Thank you, Gene, for your reply. I have suspected permissions problems but cannot detect a problem.
In Terminal, the permissions for all the problem files are shown: -rw-r--r--@ However, these are identical to those shown for all the files in the same directory which have accepted updated metadata. My user id is also shown as the owner and I'm logged in under my user id. Finally, the timestamps for the problem files show a later time than the others, reflecting the Save Metadata to Files command directed to only those files.
Here are the listings for two files, the first line is for a problem file, the second line's file shows no problem:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 doug_user staff 50977432 Jul 9 22:08 Douglass002.tif
-rw-r--r--@ 1 doug_user staff 19349272 Jul 9 17:21 Douglass003.tif
Does this still look like a permissions issue?

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.

Pooja

How to fix the bouncing safari?

I am using mac book pro with OS X 10.7.2 and safari is also the latest one, but safari bounces and does not open and keep bouncing kindly let me know how to fix this without formatting computer.

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Enter the name of the crashed application in the “Filter” text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any -- the text, please, not a screenshot.
Then, still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash logs related to the crashed application. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- again, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel. When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes. How do I fix this?

If you plan to share or work with people who regulary use MS Excel you should not try to use this in Numbers. You will have constant problems with how each program translates the formatting.
If you want to use Numbers, use it exclusively. If it is for your job use the tool your company uses.

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.

From Pages to epub format

On June 2, in a post entitled Pages to ePub, I evoked the challenge of transforming a novel, written in Pages, into epub format for the iPad device. Over the last week, I've succeeded in carrying out this task completely, in an essentially manual way.
Harrison Ainsworth's excellent tutorial on building epubs, which is perfectly sufficient for the basic stuff, can be found at
http://www.hxa.name/articles/content/epub-guidehxa72412007.html
The first operation consisted of exporting all my Pages files as pure text. Then I used BBEdit (on my iMac) to insert countless pairs of XHTML tags: basically "p" tags. The steepest learning curve for me (as an enthusiastic Flash developer who hasn't touched HTML for years) was getting the knack of how to write a perfect XHTML-oriented Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) file.
Curiously, I was hung up by a trivial obstacle for several days: the necessity of zipping together all my files, to create the final .epub document. Here again, Harrison Ainsworth kindly solved this problem by pointing me to a magic tool (in fact a tiny AppleScript device) that can be found on a MobileRead forum at
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55681
While waiting to buy an iPad, I'm using the Adobe Digital Editions tool on my iMac to display my novel. Finally, the most convenient way of validating the end result consists of using the website at
http://www.threepress.org/document/epub-validate
So, my 318-page novel is now ready (well, almost ready) to be published. I'm awaiting an ISBN number from the French authorities. And maybe I should get a professional graphics artist to produce a first-class cover illustration. For the moment, I haven't looked into the question of whether Apple will be prepared to accept my novel for their iBooks distribution (since I live in France).
I'm now faced by the following tough question: Should I carry on using Pages as a creative-writing tool, or would I be better off using an ebook-oriented environment right from the start? For the moment, there are two or three significant advantages in using Pages for creative writing: (1) There's no technical barrier between the author and his/her output. (2) I can distribute my stuff conveniently to friends and colleagues in the form of PDF files. (3) I can print out pages on A4 paper, for checking.
As much as I'm really fond of Pages, I'm not sure that these advantages justify the messy operations involved in moving to epub format. Consequently, I fear that I might soon be putting Pages in mothballs… alongside Textures, PageMaker and InDesign.

Honestly, at the moment if you are writing fiction, the easiest answer is to use Word or one of the Open Office variants and then use an aggregator and let them hassle with the coding parts (although I must point out that there are some difficulties for the future in terms of the publisher code and the ISBN ownership). Or else get really good at writing CSS/XHTML for yourself, or hire someone to do it for you. There are places where you can get a manuscript formatted for all the major outlets.
For any kind of heavily formatted book, I think the solution is to hunker down and wait a bit. People in the industry are still figuring out how to enforce a lot of formatting (there are some magnificent cookbooks in ibooks right now, for instance, but section headers and captions may not appear in the right place if you tinker with the settings), and it remains to be seen exactly what Steve Jobs meant by including PDFs in ibooks. He didn't say "sell PDFs through the ibookstore", and for material where there's any kind of fixed formatting, PDF is still the best way.
There are some serious bugs in InDesign CS5 for epub creation, although the chapter splitting feature is very tempting. But I think a lot of production shops are waiting to see if Adobe will release a point update before moving to CS5, for all the hassles in CS4.
The other big consideration is the platform wars. If you want maximum readership, you will need separate formatting for Nook, Kindle, ibooks, and now there is a new ereader that is going to be sold in all kinds of general purpose stores like CVS, for example. Formatting for that isn't known yet.
Eventually this will all shake out. They are working on a new standard for epub that should help with a lot of the current problems, but that's probably 18 months away or more.
Another option is to publish your book as an app. I did see a press release last week from someone who is selling a kit to turn a book into an app, but I haven't heard any feedback about whether it's any good or not. Or you can do what the Take Control series has been doing: sell a PDF and recommend GoodReader.
I was pretty excited about that blog post last fall where someone claimed to have found ebook creation embedded in the Pages package, but in reality right now it's a highly complex process, no matter where you start, so it's not surprising this hasn't come to pass. My own ideal would be to be able to lay out a book in Pages and use that as the basis for a PDF or just send a perfect epub straight to the ibookstore, but I'm not sanguine that this will ever be possible.

hello prithi.
You might be entering date on your page layout's date field?
so for that field you may be using F4 for date.if this is there then no prob ..but not using then use this.
OR create one MIME object using Java Script and convert there as per your need. OR in OnInputproccessing you can covert using only ABAP standard FM or by hardcode.
its working.

You would have to do a lot of modification to the epub output produced by Pages. Do a google search on "fixed layout epub" to find info on how it is done. E.g.

Page numbers displayed incorrectly in TOC in new Pages - does anybody know how to fix this?

I'm working on a multi-section document with a single TOC for two sections. Section one uses lowercase roman numerals (i, ii,...) and section two arabic numerals (1, 2, ...). The page numbers are displayed correctly on the pages themselves, but in the TOC the first two headings from section two (pages 1 und 3) are displayed as "i" and "iii". This only started after the update to pages 5, everything was fine before that. Does anybody know how to fix this? I already tried deleting the TOC and inserting a new one and changing the numbers to uppercase letters and back, to no avail.
thanks for any input

Go back to Pages '09 inside the iWork Folder inside Applications.
There are so many problems with Pages 5 it is difficult to know where to begin.
