How to view EPUB fixed layout on Ipad

Hello All,
I am new to the EPUB world - migrating from DPS folios. I just want to view my EPUB fixed layout on the IPAD and need some assistance in making it happen. Thanks.

Export to EPUB and load the EPUB on iPad. You can use Dropbox for this.
Open it in iBooks.

Scrollable Frame solution for EPUB Fixed Layout

Hi,
I have found a solution (or, rather a hack) which allows us to create scrolling frames for EPUB Fixed Layouts.
You can find the exported EPUB, as well as my InDesign file on my Dropbox: EPUB scroll.
This solution has some weak points and has only been tested in iBooks on an iPad with iOS 8, but here's how it works:
Create two text frames (one as big as your text requires, and one which will be the container [tip: make the container a bit wider than the text frame])
Cut the big text frame, select the smaller container frame, and Edit->Paste into
Right click on the container, select Object Export Options, choose EPUB and HTML and enter "subchapter" as epub:type:
Open a text editor and create a new CSS file. For CSS code, see below
Export as Fixed layout EPUB. In the export dialog box, select the CSS tab and add the previously created CSS file
Done!
CSS code:
div[*|type = "subchapter"] {
position: relative;
div[*|type = "subchapter"] > div {
overflow: auto;
As you see, steps 1 and 2 are essentialy the same as for creating a scrollable frame folio overlay.
It’s not perfect, and this solution is just a proof-of-concept, but it should get you going.
An obvious problem is that we use basic HTML scrollbar, which is not being displayed in e-book readers such as iBooks on the iPad. Hence, the user has now idea how long the scrollable content stretches. This could probably be solved with a more complex, JS-based solution.
Also, the gradient feather at the bottom (which is intended to create a "fade-out effect) seems not to export well. This one should be easy to solve, placing another rectangle with a gradient in it. But I’m not sure if transparency exports well, and haven’t tested it.
Feel free to use, and improve, this hack!
Thanks,
/Jacob

Thank you Uwe,
I look and hold you aware of your solution in an environment EPUB

@Papo – then I would suggest not a scrollable frame, but an MSO you can click through showing the whole text.
1. Do some text frames the same size
2. Thread all the text frames to one story
3. Align the text frames
4. Make a MSO out of it:
The text frames are still threaded and text can easily flow between them.
5. Do some navigation buttons to control the MSO states:
"Go To First State", "Go To Next State", "Go To Previous State" etc.
Later you can change the text (add or remove, do different formatting) flowing in that story through the states.
A very flexible solution. Ok, it's not a scrollable frame, but something like that…

InDesign CC ePub Fixed Layout not showing up as an Export option

I am trying to export an ePub Fixed Layout, but when I go to Export, I only have the ePub option - No Fixed Layout. I have updated to the latest version on Cloud and have restarted my computer. Any solutions?

What operating system are you running? If you're running Mac OS X 10.6, you will not be able to download the latest version which is InDesign CC 2014. That is required for ePub Fixed Layout.

Epub fixed layout option missing

Hi there,
I'm trying to create a digital version of a magazine I current produce for print. I'd like to export it as a fixed layout epub but when I click on 'Export' I'm not offered the epub fixed layout as an option simply 'epub'. When I export using this all of my images and text appear all over the place. I'm using InDesign CC 9.2.1 on a Mac. Am I missing some vital step?
Many thanks in advance for any advice offered.

I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum.
You need to upgrade to InDesign CC 2014.1 (October 2014) release. You can do this from the Creative Cloud app unless you're running an incompatible OS version, for example, Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

Space disappears before and after numbers during epub fixed layout conversion

Created .indd file using InDesign CC 2014 and converted to epub fixed layout format. Everything is correctly converted -- EXCEPT that every number (date, address, single number in text) is stripped of its space before and after. The indesign file is correct and spaces are all present correctly. Any thoughts? Could it have to do with fonts (using open type features such as contextual alternates with Figure style set to Proportional Oldstyle)? Quick help would be appreciated -- on a deadline as usual!
Thanks,
Kate

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?

Epub Fixed Layout

I am using CC and I want to export my indesign project to a fixed layout epub. When I go to export I am only given the option to export to a regular epub and not a fixed layout epub. How will I be able to export this as a fixed layout?

I've moved your post to the InDesign EPUB forum
You have to download and install InDesign CC2014.2. Check your CC desktop app for it. It will be there as long as your operating system supports it.

Arabic punctuation when exporting to ePUB fixed layout

Hello,
I'm using InDesign CC6 ME and on it my document looks just fine.
Once I try export to ePUB 3.0 fixed layout, my end-of-paragraph punctuation shows up at the beginning of the last line instead of at the end.
Please keep in mind that since this is an Arabic text, the punctuation at the end of the line has to be at the far left which is not what I'm getting.
I hope I can find some help with this.

Hi Sania:
Pooja is absolutely correct.
There are a variety of limitations at this point in Roman/J/ME which we have been working to improve with our aim being that update-to-update to InDesign CC for both Reflowable and Fixed Layout we keep getting better. We've been focusing on Roman first and have had our hands full with that.
The team as benefited immensely by being able to work with real customer customer document - would you be willing to share some of yours with us? We only use them for our own internal testing and do not share them outside of Adobe (and typically only the team). It makes a big difference to us.
If so, please contact Pooja directly at [email protected] and she will make arrangements for receiving them. Typically we just need you to package the document (or a subset of it, whatever you feel comfortable with) so we get the necessary assets and fonts.
Help us make this better.

CC 2014 export to epub Fixed Layout Table Of Contents Question

I have an .indd which I exported to an epub 3.0
looks fine except there is a table of contents in the .indd and it does NOT work in the Epub.
I see a tuts for adding a navigation TOC in an EPub 2.0 doc but I need to have the TOC from the .indd as a linked / working TOC.
Any help here?
R

Ok just to add a little here so the problems I'm having are in ONE post.
The document was not made by me, I needed to go from .indd to Epub Fixed.
AS mentioned the TOC was ALREADY in the .indd as well as hyperlinks thru the document.
When I go to export as EPub Fixed I chose the TOC style ( I know there are a few options for this here like removing the original TOC and replacing with a new OR just using a navigation TOC which would be seen using an Apple Reader THAT WORKS
But, TWO things are problems, when exporting to fixed NONE generated TOC's work, new generated and original ( which I left in there just to see)
and second, ALL the hyperlinks that were working in the pdf before do NOT work in the Fixed Layout BUT I did do a flowing text export and in that those hyperlinks only WORK in the re flowable.
Any help here?

How to view high-res images in iPad 3?

I'm Korean and I like reading web comics on the web. Korean web comics (or as called here "webtoons") tend to have large images, and something like 500x12000 JPEG images are not uncommon. But as you know, Safari on iOS downsamples JPEG images larger than 2 MP (or 5 MP in iOS 6) and even 5 MP is not enough in this situation.
I tried several alternative ways to view large images in my iPad.
1. "Save Image" in Safari: it downloads the downsampled version of the image.
2. Other browsers (Chrome, Opera Mini, Terra, Mercury, Puffin, etc.): they all downsamples as well.
3. Copy the URL of the image, then download and view the image using GoodReader: downsampled
4. Download the image in PC, share it using Dropbox, view it in iPad using Dropbox app: downsampled (the worst quality ever)
I haven't tried the iPhoto for iOS yet since I don't want to pay for something that I'm uncertain whether it can solve my problem or not.
The image I've tried to view on iPad is http://file.thisisgame.com/upload/board/2012/08/30/20120830093812_9274.jpg, which is about 7.6 MP. Although the dimension of the image is huge, the size of the image is only about 3.9 MB. I don't understand why this image should be downsampled to be viewed on the new iPad, considering its computing power.
I wish to know whether iPhoto can help or there is any way to view large images in my iPad at all. Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.

In addition to asking here, I suggest you report this issue to Apple via

How to view Outlook 2010 Calendar on iPad 3?

I have published my Outlook 2010 Calendar to the internet (URL ending .ics). How do I view it on my iPad3?

You may have already sorted this out by now, but since there wasn't a solved response I figured it was worth the response yet.
First, I have been unable to share my Exchange calendar with the Restricted access level, iPad doesn't seem to like any credential method I put in. This I've had to make it Public.
To add the calendar:
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account... -> Other -> Add Subscribed Calendar
The rest should be pretty self-explanatory.
Hope that helps.
