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.

    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.

  • 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 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 do i add Edge animate .oam files to Fixed Layouts Epubs in Indesign?

    Hi,
    There is a bug on iOS7 which does not let edge animate work correctly here. This issue will happen on iPad and not on Mac OS.

  • Another Blank Page in Fixed Layout Epub

    Having trouble with a blank page in this epub (link to epub file on acrobat.com).
    I've read a couple of threads, and have exported the indd as an indb and reopened (trying to mitigate the possibility of the file being corrupt). I had to fix a date in the content.opf that was in the MM/DD/YYYY format (reformatted to YYYY-MM-DD). To repackage the epub, I created a new zip file, and added the mimetype file first, and then added the META-INF and OEBPS folders. Everything checks out at EPUB Validator (beta) Results. The file looks horrid in Adobe Digital Editions 3.0, but looks great in Calibre.
    As you can see from the file name, I've tried a number of things to try and deduce the issue (deleting multiple pages, one at a time, to see if there was an issue with a specific page, tried to build the epub without a cover image...)
    It's always the 3rd page that is blank, even after removing multiple pages, which I find curious.
    Any insights from others that have dealt with these problems trying to get Fixed Layout epubs from InDesign CC 2014 into Google Play Books is very much appreciated.

    Hi,
    The file is missing here: (link to epub file on acrobat.com). Could you post it again?
    Did you see your exported FXL EPUB in any other reader? iBooks is recommended but Readium also supports FXL EPUB and would be equally good to verify this issue.

  • Fixed layout ePub problem with facing pages

    Hi,
    I have a 240 page book made out of multiple inDesign files that I'm trying to convert to a fixed layout ePub. Everything works like a charm except the transition from one file to the next.
    The book uses facing pages setting so when the file ends for example in page 40, it is a left hand page, and the next file starts from page 41 and that is a right hand page. After exporting to fixed layout epub, the resulting file has blank pages between the files. What I mean is after the left hand page 40 there is an empty right hand page, then an empty left hand page followed by right hand page 41.
    What would be the easiest solution for this?

    Hi,
    I found the problem from the book panel so case closed. In "Book Page Numbering Options" I had "Insert Blank Page" selected. This didn't cause any problems when exporting to pdf but resulted in extra blank pages when exporting to ePub.
    Attached is a screenshot from the book panel. The problem occurred between all the files.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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 displays one page no matter in landscape mode or Portrait mode

    I use the code :
    <meta property="rendition:layout">pre-paginated</meta>
    <meta property="rendition:orientation">landscape</meta>
    <itemref idref="s001" linear="yes" properties="rendition:page-spread-center"/>
    <itemref idref="s002" linear="yes" properties="rendition:page-spread-center"/>
    <itemref idref="s003" linear="yes" properties="rendition:page-spread-center"/>
    but ,they all don't work.

    This is the code you use to tell iPad to display in landscape mode.
    [?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?]
    [display_options]
    [platform name="*"]
    [option name="fixed-layout"]true[/option]
    [option name="orientation-lock"]landscape-only[/option]
    [option name="open-to-spread"]true[/option]
    [/platform]
    [/display_options]
    Replace the brackets to carets and you're good to gol  Name the file:
    com.apple.ibooks.display-Options.xml
    and it's put in the META-INF folder

  • How to prevent page to automatically expand?

    Hello,
    I know that in iWeb 09', the page will expand down automatically to make space for whatever you want to post. However, is there a way to stop that from happening? I want the page size to be locked, so the page just doesn't keep getting bigger and bigger. I didn't see an option in the Inspector to prevent this, however any workaround or tips would be awesome.
    Thanks.

    There is no option.
    Simply do not add objects or type text that make the page grow bigger and bigger.
    Restrain yourself.

  • 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.

    Yes, I had it all checked. I wonder why the CC does not show the Adobe Indesign CC 2014.1 as with Muse and Dreamweaver. It just shows Adobe Indesign CC 2014. How can I make sure the newer Version is really downloaded?
