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.

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I've read Pariah Burke's book on adding read aloud audio, but now with the new Fixed Layout capability it's out of date.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- http://iampariah.com/books/creating-fixed-layout-ebooks - but of course the rest of it (published in 2013) is out of date since we're exporting the FXL from InDesign.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.

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?

Hi Douglas,
How do this?

Can I make fixed layout epub on pages?

Can I make fixed layout epub on pages?

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.

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.

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...

Use of cookies in fixed-layout EPUBs

I am creating a fixed-layout picture ebook in EPUB2 format to be published on the iBookstore.
In order to start some CSS3 animations at the same time on both pages of a page spread, I'd like to use a mechanism to synchronize the start time for the animations. This is because I noted that, in the iBook reader running on my iPad2, the left and right pages of a spread get loaded at different times and usually the right page is loaded approximately 1s later than the left page, though the delay is extremely variable.
I am thinking about using some javascript to set a cookie in order to check whether both pages in a spread are loaded and consequently start the animations. This is based on the assumption that both pages of a spread use a webview built upon the same common Safari rendering engine which uses a single set of cookies.
My questions are:
Is it allowed to use cookies in an EPUB to be published on the Apple iBookstore? On page 29 of the iBookstore Asset Guide 5.0 it is specified that "Books must not rely on external resources", but are cookies to be considered "external resources"?
If cookies are not allowed, is there any other way to synchronize the two pages of a page spread on the iBook reader?

Hi Steve, I am a regular subscriber to Creative Cloud and have updated all apps. My version of Adobe InDesign does show 2014.1 under About InDesign.

Fixed Layout EPUBs in Adobe Indesign CC 2014

Hi Friends,
I'm fascinated with the prospects of the Fixed Layout EPUBs.   In the few video tutorials that are more current, Adobe host shows the ability to PREVIEW the EPUBs using the menu item OBJECT > INTERACTIVE > Epub Previewer. But no go.
So, I've now installed from Creative Cloud, the Extend Script tool kit as well as Extension Manager.   I also installed Edge Inspect CC.
Am I on the right track to find or install the Interactive > Fixed Layout EPUB Previewer?    I need your guidance and have not found anything through my searches online.
I exported my Fixed Layout EPUB yesterday and the slider I created by following one of the few tutorials caused some sort of problem because that entire SPREAD was blank, although all other pages were present.
Thanks for any guidance.
Sincerely
mary

Is Apple fixed layout epub supporting two languages in one ebook

Hi Everyone,
Is apple fixed layout epub supporting two languages in one epub file?
Regards,
Arun

As long as you don't try to make your main language one of those which the iBookstore does not yet support, I think there is no limit to the number of languages you can include in a book, regardless of format.
http://m10lmac.blogspot.com/2014/02/languages-not-yet-supported-in.html
If you are talking about having different language versions of the same text which the reader can select via some sort of button, I do not think that is possible.

Missing cover on Fixed Layout ePub in iBooks

Hello.
My client is having a problem with the cover of their book disappearing after they open it in iBooks. I generated the Fixed Layout ePub from inDesign CC 2014 and had the same problem until I updated the OS on my iPad a few days ago. I suggested the client do the same (freshly updated yesterday to OS 8.0.2) but it has not resolved the cover issue. Anyway have any suggestions on what may be causing this and how this can be fixed?

Initially (two weeks ago) I had chosen a separate cover image but when I tested the file on my iPad, the cover would disappear and all I would see is the half title page. My workaround was to add the cover image as a 1st page, rasterize the first page when making the cover, then also export the full book including the cover page as if it was part of the text so if the cover disappeared it would still show in place of the half title page. After we updated the OS on the iPad (1 week ago) I didn't need to do that anymore, but the client seems to still be having problems and she had also updated the OS at my suggestion.

Fixed layout ePub

I didn't know that. Thanks!
but if I do a book with four chapters, and each chapter has 100 pages, I can export it as Epub?
Thanks again

Fixed layout epub displaying incorrectly on PC, but correctly on Mac

I have a fixed layout epub that I created in InDesign. The file displays correctly in ADE on Mac, but is a mess in ADE on Windows (the text is huge, the images are scattered, and most content is off the page). The file also displays correctly in iBooks and Calibre on Mac (I only have a DRM version on the PC so I can't view in Calibre for PC). What might the issue be? What additional information can I provide to help troubleshoot?

I just read that.
Thanks for the heads up.
This is not giving high hopes though. I know it's new-ish and all but if people have to go out of there way to read these that is not going to make it a very popular format. Apple has there stuff together but as for Windows and Android they really need to step it up. Adobe needs to take the initiative and add this to Acrobat or crate a new viewer for epub in my humble opinion.
Thanks again.

Fixed Layout Epub: 1st left page always blank.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
I'm running the latest edition of InDesign 2014 CC.
Basically I want the 1st page of the document to be on the left-hand side of the spread, so that my graphics make sense as I've placed them in the document. Like this:
However, after I export the file in Fixed Layout Epub, I get this result, with the first page on the right-hand side of spread instead:
I've tried export options, "Based on document layout" and "Enable Synthetic Spreads." I've used the export option Export Range "2-9" hoping it would start on page 2 (first page of the story). And I've also tried changing the layout so that the first page is page 1 in the InDesign Layout... all with the same result.
If you can throw me a bone here, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ehren

Just start your document as usual on page one. You don't need to manipulate the pages position on the pages panel as shown on your screenshot. Once you Start Page Numbering at 2 it will adjust automatically.

Missing "bookmarks" option in fixed-layout-epub export panel-?

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue exporting a fixed layout epub with bookmarks.
The "Bookmarks" option is not present/visible/showing up in the export options: I only have "none", "file name", "Multi level". But I do have bookmarks in the document.
I had canceled old bookmarks and recreated them, but nothing changed.
I really can't figure out the what the problem is!
Any suggestion will be really appreciated… Thanks.

I understand that you need the newest version (InDesign CC 2014.1) to accomplish what you want with EPUB.
But if you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can download BOTH that version (the current one) AND also install InDesign CC (which came out in 2013), as well as InDesign CS6. All can be installed simultaneously!
As I described above, I think you unintentionally muffed it by installing a trial on top of your installation. Both should be uninstalled.
Then with Creative Cloud install the latest version and make sure it's working.
To download an older version from Creative Cloud, select the Apps menu in the CC application. Scroll down till you see "Filters & Version" In that section, you will see the older versions which you can also install.
