I exported my .epub from Indesign CS6 but it crashes my ibooks every time.

Hi,
I have a book that I'm publishing that I'm trying to test on my iphone 5/ipad. I have done this last year with another book without any problems. This new book has a short film embedded, so is that making a difference for the problem I'm having? I have placed different files formats into indesign and it takes it fine. But the epub version kinda freaks out when it's read. Suggestions? The best video format for Indesign? Cheers.

Moved to InDesign forum.
If you're going to read an epub on iBooks I would suggest MP4 with h.264 encoding.

  • Trying to export to PDF from InDesign CS6 but nothing happens

    I'm in InDesign CS6 and when I export to PDF, nothing happens. I have other files with the same format and they are exporting fine. I tried putting all the content into a new document but it still doesn't work. Has anyone else had this issue?
    Thank you!

  • Having trouble exporting to pdf from InDesign CS6

    When I attempt to export to pdf from InDesign CS6, the application crashes. Apparently there is some phantom plug-in issue.
    I need to get this resolved asap.
    Thank you,
    Marissa

    Have a look at this generic document to help you troubleshoot: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/troubleshoot-printing-pdf-export-indesign.html
    Could you also provide details about what you've tried, and what errors you encountered? Is this problem limited to a particular document, or all documents?

  • I am new to EPUB fomat and I am facing a lot of difficulties in exporting my work from InDesign CS6

    Hi..I am new to EPUB fomat and I am facing a lot of difficulties in exporting my work from InDesign CS6. The problem is that I have got a financial report of about 100pages to export as EPUB, with lots of graphs etc..and when I export it, to EPUB 2.0, the following happens:
    1. The image quality is quite low (even if the original images are of high quality, and during export, i put the image to max quality)
    2. The graphs do not appear where they should be! All the imags in fact appear after the long paragraphs of text..meaning everything appear quite messy and in an unordered manner.
    I have read that images should be anchored, and doing so, the result is quite better, but still, some images appear at the end of the text!!d
    That is, the end result, in terms of pagination and graphics, is no way like it should have been, compared to the indesign file (page 5 is displayed after page 10, image on page 4 appears on page 9 etc..)
    PLEASE HELP..
    P.S :
    I am using Adobe digital edition to view my EPUB..I have also tried CALIBRE and SIGIL!! But I am not too sharp in eiting CSS codes etc...

    Hi Akshay,
    If you want your images to appear standalone with no other page item on the page, then you can insert Page break on an image.
    This is how you can specify a page break:
    1. Select the image
    2. Goto Object->Object Export Options
    3. Select EPUB and HTML tab
    4. Select Custom Layout check box and then check Insert Page break. You can select from the option in the dropdown-Before Image, After Image, Before and After Image as per your requirement.
    Regarding your question about images:
    You export your graphs as JPEG but are those JPEGs of good resolution? If they are, then InDesign is doing something wrong during export but if the JPEGs are not of good quality then it is not an export issue. Please provide some more details here.

  • Incorrect images from .indb file export to ePub in Indesign CS6

    I am having problems exporting images to ePub and get a different result from the same file depending on whether I export directly from the .indd file or from the .indb file.
    When I export to ePub from the individual chapter (.indd) file, everything is fine and the images appear in the correct locations where they have been anchored.
    When I export via the book  (.indb) file, images are being replaced with the incorrect file in the resulting ePub.
    Looking at the HTML, it seems not all images are being exported from the .indb file and when the image is missing, Indesign is substituting the next available image from the alphabetical list in the images folder so I'm getting incorrect images peppered throughout the book.
    Any idea where I've gone wrong and how to fix it? I've produced several ePubs with images and never come across this before.
    More details on how I've set up the files and any other info I think might be relevant below if needed.
    - I'm using Indesign CS6 (8.0.1)
    - I'm producing an 11 chapter book.
    - Each chapter is a separate .indd file for ease of editing.
    - These 11 files have been added to an .indb file for export to ePub.
    - Images are all anchored to their captions within the text.
    - On Export to ePub settings for images I have selected to insert a page break before the image and that settings apply to anchopred objects.
    Nothing else is selected (I don't want to preserve appearance from layout.)
    - I'm using the Articles panel feature for order of content.
    - In the original file supplied, the images were placed as .tiff images. I saved them to jpeg and relinked them using the "relink to folder" and "match same file but this extension" options.
    - No links are flagged as missing.
    Any help much appreciated.

    The solution points to how, it appears, the book panel export is functioning: each file exports a set of tags referenced to itself; file01 adds a "1" to its tags, and so forth. What I was able to do was use a file referencing all of the tags in the style suite in two ways:
    first, I exported to an epub the single file, creating a fairly clean CSS, which I then extracted and renamed;
    then, making certain that file was the "source" file in the book panel, I mapped for export all of the tags, being careful to be certain each tag/class combo was same as in renamed clean CSS;
    I synchronized the whole shebang;
    I exported to epub, adding my clean CSS as an external style sheet, selecting only "include embeddable fonts".
    Bingo!

  • Cannot overwrite PDF when exporting to Acrobat from InDesign CS6

    When exporting to Acrobat Pro X from InDesign CS6, there are times when I want to overwrite an exising file but I get an error msg that the file is in use (it is not--this even happens when I have closed the file and quit Acrobat) or i don't have permission. In the Info panel at the Finder, i see that "myusername (ME)" does have permission to read and write this file. As a test, I also changed the permissions for Admin and Everyone to Read & Write, but that did not help. I've checked Preferences in both InDesign and Acrobat Pro anc can't find a relevant setting.
    To save the file with the same filename as the pre-exisitng PDF, I have to close the pre-exisitng PDF and move it to the trash.
    I have no problem overwriting a PDF document from Acrobat. This only happens when I am exporting from ID.
    I am on a Mac running the latest version of OSX.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Carol Gunn

    Make sure that the PDF you are trying to overwrite is not selected in your finder. I've found that if it's selected in the finder then the preview tricks Indesign into thinking the file is busy

  • Too long export to PDF from Indesign CS6

    When I exporting PDF from InDesign CS6 takes too long. For example, a few minutes (5minutes). In InDesign CS3, which I used earlier, the file is exported immediately (few seconds). It is a problem in setting or higher hardware requirements?
    I use laptop 2GB dual processor, 8GB RAM, Windows Vista 32 bit. You have a similar experience?

    It is strange that CS6 supports Windows XP and Windows7 and Vista does not support. I use 8GB RAM because I bought a laptop so. There for me any solution, how to enable CS6 InDesign with the 32 bit system Windows Vista?

  • Export ePUB from inDesign CS6 - polish fonts problem

    I have to make ePUB with polish fonts.
    I create a simple one page document in inDesign CS6 and export it to ePUB. All fonts are embedded.
    When I check it in Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) there is problem with polish fonts (ż, ł). ADE doesn't read it correctly. Other readers do it in right way.
    Is it a problem with inDesign or ADE?

    The ADE provides a preview, and nothing more than that. Actual viewers have other, more, or less capabilities -- some don't support embedded fonts, others do but with limitations, etc.
    ComrelPL wrote:
    .. that's why bookstores need ePUB to be compatibile with this ADE.
    E-Pub is still in its infancy. There is no general "e-pub" standard that *all* viewers are compatible with, other than the very lowest common denominator (which may very well mean "plain text").

  • Export to ePub from InDesign

    I read at http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/epub/howto/ that it is possible to export to ePub format from InDesign CS4. Is it also possible to export to ePub format from InDesign 2.0? I have a pdf and a Word document that I want to export to ePub format. But I can't get either one of them to open in InDesign. Would this problem be solved if I upgraded to InDesign CS4? Is there another way to make my PDF or Word document into an ePub by using InDesign 2.0 without upgrading?
    Thank you.

    Liz Castro’s Kindle book is not available in my region; it’s blocked by Amazon.
    As for InDesign 2.0, it generally works for what I need, and when it doesn’t do something that I need, I am told that InDesign CS5 doesn’t do it either. So for the time being, I see no compelling reason to spend the $700 on the upgrade.
    By the way, I am also told by a colleague who knows InDesign well that while a Word document cannot be opened in InDesign 2.0, it can be “imported” by following the following steps:
    -          Create a new InDesign (.indd) file that corresponds to the number of pages, page size, and page margins of the Word document.
    -          Place the Word document on the page. This creates a textbox with the contents of the document in it.
    -          You may want to adjust the size of the text box to suit the margins.
    -          Go to the bottom right corner of the highlighted textbox and click on the plus signal.
    -          Place your mouse on the next page of the InDesign (.indd) file and click. This creates another textbox with the continuation of the text from the previous page.
    -          Do this consecutively on the rest of the pages and all of the text from the Word document will be imported.
    -          Sometimes, the formatting in the .indd file does not exactly match that of the .doc file, particularly for page breaks, tables of contents, indexes, and other front and back matter.
    She says that some publishers use this technique, but it is more common to “link” an InDesign file to a text document that contains the text that is to be published. In this way, new editions of a book can easily be generated by simply updating the InDesign file to the source file when the text in the source file has changed.
    On another note, if anyone can suggest a good program that can easily convert Word documents or PDFs to ePub files, I’d greatly appreciate the recommendation. I have read about Stanza Desktop and Calibre, both of which can supposedly convert both Word and pdf files to ePub format. There are others well, such as Web-Books.com, which can also supposedly convert .doc files into ePubs. The web site http://selfpublishingadventure.com/converting-word-files-to-epub-files/ recommends eCub and ePubGen, the ePub converter from Google, but the former doesn’t handle Word documents and the author of that web page said that ePubGen inserted arbitrary page breaks.
    I’d like a program that can convert Word or pdf files while preserving as much as the formatting (particularly headings, styles, fonts, page breaks, page numbering, and embedded images) as possible without requiring a lot of manual revision. Suggestions/recommendations are welcome.

  • Last page rasterizing when exporting to EPUB from Indesign

    Hello all,
    I  currently have a problem with the last page of my EPUB book rasterizing. This shows up in both Adobe digital Additions and iBooks. I cannot fathom why it is doing it, is there anyone who has come across this before?
    fyi. It doesnt seem to matter what content is on the last page, the whole page turns into a flattened image (even text). I originally created the EPUB on Snow leapoard on OSX and recently upgraded to mountain Lion and I'm on Indesign CS6.
    Any light on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Leonie

    I've never heard of InDesign rasterizing the last page during EPUB export. I'd try the usual troubleshooting techniques.
    Start by restoring your InDesign preferences. Here's how:

    If that doesn't work, try saving your InDesign file as IDML and reopening it. Here's how:

  • File exported as ePub from inDesign not opening in Stanza, known bug?

    Hello,
    I've just started to learn how to export documents to EPUB format using inDesign CS5 7.0.3 on Mac OSX. I've found that the exported books can be opened in Adobe Digital Editions, but not on Stanza.
    The error I am getting in Stanza is:
    Could not load book
    Could not find required entry in archive: OEBPS/\Q7%20laws.xthml\E Available entries are: [META-INF/container.xml ...
    After a lot of trial and error I came to find out that apparently, the error was generated by the original .indd file name: When the inDesign original filename is "7 laws.indd" Stanza will not open the file.
    However, if I remove the spaces from the filename (changing to "7laws.indd") it opens with no problem.
    If this case turns to be true for all user of the latest version of inDesign, I believe that the EPUB exporter should:
    a) Convert the spaces in the filename to dashes (or something akin)
    b) At least warn that the file name with spaces can cause trouble on some readers.
    I wonder if the inDesign dev team, is aware of this and/or if this issue also affects Windows users.
    If so, could it be fixed on an upcoming patch?

  • Problem with Page Splits in exporting to ePub from ID CS6 v8

    Hi,
    I have been working on several booklets for a client and after desiging the print version, we've been creating epub versions to be offered from their website. I've had the same issue arise twice now, with two different files.
    The ID documents are created with Word docs that have some left over paragraph styling, which doesn't show in the print version, but require finding and fixing during epub exports. I have started out exporting the files to epub just fine, using the Paragraph Style that I had chosen for the Chapter Titles as the page break choice in the Advanced export tab in the Split Document dropdown list. It's worked multiple times, then suddenly reverts to Do Not Split, and the Paragraph Style for the Chapter Titles has dissappeard from the drop down list. The first time this occurred, I tried duplicating, renaming and changing the Paragraph Style used, but that new style didn't appear in the dropdown list either. For that file, I finally gave up, reverted to working with an older epub I luckily had, and hand fixed all the issues in the HTML files. Not fun.
    However, it's a month later, and this same glitch has occurred in another file. Has anyone experienced this problem, and is there a fix for it? Would really appreciate some help with this one.

  • Is it possible to export an epub from AI-CS6?

    I'm creating a  children's picture book in ai6. It's fairly simple & text is on it's own layer. I'd love to skip the need to go to InDesign. Can this be done? Many thanks for answers.

    Skill Rooster, I create simple picture books in AI with text on it's own layer and Artboards for pages. My request makes perfect sense. If I found a way to export from AI - as I have all the content completed there - I could save much time by skipping a trip to ID, redoing what I have already spent much time doing. It's great to export my book straight from AI as a pdf, it would be REALLY great if I could export it as an ePub too. I'm not sure what about my request "makes no sense." I hope I've cleared things up for you.
