Indesign CS5.5 audio control creating a new page when exporting to epub.

I am trying to publish an ebook with embeded audio and when I export to epub the audio contol appears on a seperate page. Any ideas how to keep this from happening? I have tried articles and anchored objects.

How are you creating the Audio control? Is it set for play on Page Load?
What audio format are you using? The best format is MP3.
I've played with video (MP4) in EPUB on a iOS device but haven't done audio. If the audio isn't working, you might make an MP4 movie without an image (sound only) which would give you a controller.

How do you create a new page when user checks a box?

I guess it would be a check box. I'm looking for a way to have the user select create a new page when the user runs out of space in the text box that is given. So if its possible is there a way to create a new page with a continuing text box when the user has selected the create a new page check box. Thanks.

Hi,
You can achieve this by just making some changes to the textfield (and the page layout).
First, select the textfield and then in the Layout palette, tick 'expand' height to fit'. When you preview the form, you will see that as you type information into the field, a scroll bar will appear. When you exit the field, it will expand automatically to display the full contents.
Now the problem will be that the textfield will expand over objects that are positioned below it - not good!
So what you need to do is set up your form for a flowed layout. First select all of the objects that do not grow in size and wrap them inside a 'positioned subform'. When you select the subform you can see this setting in the Object > Subform palette. You should name the subforms in the hierarchy. So you will end up with a positioned subform above your textfield and a positioned subform beneath your textfield (if you have objects beneath it).
Then select page1 in the hierarchy and in the Object > Subform palette, change the content to 'flowed'. Hopefully the layout won't change too much (because you will have most of your objects in their positioned subform).
Last step is to select the textfield and in the Object > Field palette tick 'Allow page breaks within content'. This tells Acrobat/Reader to split the object if it overflows onto a new page.
Now save the form as a Dynamic XML Form in the save as dialog and previewed it. Now when the textfield expands it will push objects beneath it down. Also when it gets to the bottom of the page, it will start a new page automatically and continue the content on the new page.
Here is an example:

Invisibles are creating a new page when I try to move background image....

Hey Guys.
I am doing a resume for a friend of mine and its quite simple what Im trying to do;
-Background image
-Image
-Text
And I noticed when I try to put the background image to fit the background that it will create a new page... but I can't seem to find how to get around this problem... can anyone help?
Here's a screenshot: http://i46.tinypic.com/nf1t3r.png

Your image has word wrap on it that is squeezing out either text or a page break underneath.
The process and fix (turn off word wrap for the background image) were described here:

Newbie needs InDesign CS5 help: text overflow into new page

Hello... so, I've been using InDesign CS5 to create a document, because it transfers nicely into the pdf format. I had written most of the stuff a couple months ago, am transferring it to InDesign via copy and paste, and then have to go in an "re-do" the bolds and italics and hyper links etc, b/c it does not transfer those things to InDesign. I can live with that. However, with this 10+ page document, how can I copy all my text and paste it onto 10 pages+ of InDesign, rather than piece-by-piece on a page-by-page basis?
As of now, I have to take the first page of my original, and then copy and paste and estimate, add and subtract until the sizing is right... and then I have to do that with page 2... and page 3... and page 4.. and... well, you get the idea. More than 10 pages of this! Now, the straw breaking this camel's back is the fact that I have to go in and do a revision in one part... so that I have to move and shift part of page 2 to page 3, and page 3 to page 4, and page 4 to page 5, and... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Is there ANY way to get text to simply overflow from one page to the next? When you try to drag a text box down to the next page you've added, it stops at the bottom of the page and will not let you flow into the next page. I am not particularly tech savvy and don't know coding or html or etc. I am looking for a way to allow text to flow from one page to the next as if you were writing a Word doc.
I have 80 more pages and 7 more documents to do this with. Please help! I want to cry at the thought of dealing with this in every single 8 to 12 page document I'm recreating.

All is not lost for autoflow even using copy paste. Here's a nifty little trick that will help you:
ID does not require a text frame before you paste, so if you don't start with one, or don't use the one you've already drawn, ID will conveniently draw a 2" square text frame in the center of the screen if you issue a paste command. This frame will contain all of the copied text, but most of it will be overset (you'll see a red plus sign inthe "out port" on the lower right of the frame).
Overset text can be picked up and flowed using autoflow, just as if you were placing a text file, so use the selection tool (black arrow) to select that small text frame if it isn't already selected, then click the red plus sign to pick up the overset. You should now have a loaded text cursor that looks sort of like the upper left corner of a page. DON'T click it anywhere yet.
First press backspace to delete the small text frame (which should have remained selected). Now you can start your auto-flow holding the Shift key and clicking your loaded cursor wherever you like. All of the text, including what was visible in the now deleted frame is in the cursor waiting for you.

InDesign CS5 Mac & Suitcase Fusion 3.0 - Crashing when exporting PDFs

Hi there, experts in InDesign
I work as a professional graphic designer on a mac with inDesign. I make my living with exporting highres PDF files and sending them to the printers.
When I activate Extensis Suitcase fusion plug-ins, inDesign constantly crashes when I try to save PDFs. No matter how many pages, no matter how many fonts activated or used in the document.
Extensis support ist not really helpfull. After weeks of insisting, I have somebody who says, he's trying to take care. No solutions found yet.
The only thing is, to deactivate the plugins and switch fonts on or off manualy.
Anyone made the same frustrating experiences?
Anyone who knows, what causes the troubles?
Any hint is appreciated very much
Thank you

Centering Object Vertically on Page when exporting to ePUB

I am preparing my first ePUB book using InDesign 5.5. I would like to center the graphic object on the title page, but I cannot figure out how to center an object vertically on a page. Although I can achieve the intended result on my screen in InDesign, when I export to ePUB, the object goes to the very top of the page and is no longer centered vertically. I have a few other pages (the dedication page, the copyright page, etc.), where I have text that I would like to have centered vertically on the page -- same problem. Please help. Thanks.

Irregardless of what you are doing in your InDesign document, an ePub export has to follow the very strict rules of HTML -- and not even the full set as we know it from (semi)formatted web pages, but a subset thereof. There is absolutely no guarantee you can export all you can do in InDesign to an ePub, in fact, there is only very little that survives this radical downsaving.
Besides, I'd have to check but I don't think Adobe intended InDesign to be the once-and-future ePub Layout Engine. Rather, its export is to facilitate cross-publishing, and helping you on your way creating the eBook of your (e)Dreams -- but you have to do the finalizing with some better targeted software.
But, basically, your premise -- that you can put something "at the bottom of an e-page" -- is wrong to begin with! A proper eBook can be reflowed, the font and its size can be changed, the reading window can be resized (on some devices) or rotated from landscape to portrait and back (on some devices). So there is no concept of a "page", and everything you pull off to "be" at the bottom might appear at the top for other views.

Missing pages when exporting to ePub?

I'm using Indesign CS4 to create an epub. However, when I export it, pages out of my book are missing. I have applied character and paragraph styles to all the text, and everything is in the indd file, just not in the epub. Does anyone have any solutions that might fix this problem?

I think I figured it out. I had multiple paragraph styles in the same group. When I put them in different boxes, it worked

Create a new page in Text Edit?

I know Text Edit has limited functionality but I havent been able to find any tutorials or basic information on Text Edit and eventually I may get Pages or Word for Mac, but for right now, I dont really need anything fancy so I'm hoping Text Edit will work. Im thinking there's no reason you couldn't do a resume even on here - although I think Pages has pre-done layouts which would make it look a lot prettier.
Anyway, simple Text Edit question: Is there just a way to create a new page - basically a page break like you did in Microsoft Word on a PC where you would hit control+enter. Im assuming there should be as that seems like a pretty basic function.
Also if anyone uses Text Edit regularly, can you tell me what are the basic things it can and cannot do...what do you need Pages (Or word for mac) for and for what will Text Edit suffice. (I assume, for example, that Text Edit is not going to allow you to automatically do page numbers while Pages will)

(InDesign CS5) I have created hundreds of InDesign documents incorporating images stored on an external USB connected drive. I did a manual back-up to another drive at regular intervals but far from ideal.
I now have a network drive which is properly backed-up. I have copied all of the images and folder structure from the USB connected drive to this new drive.
My question is how I get all of the links in my indd files to point to the new drive. I am aware how to do it one file at a time, but is there a way of doing the same thing over many files/folders at a time?

It depends on how you organize your work. If you have one folder for images for a document, relinking one image should alert you that other missing images are in the same folder, but this assumes that images are missing. If the links window sees a clear path to the original location of the images, they aren't missing, so that won't work.
Another thing to try is to select all of the images in the links window and go to the fly-out menu and select Relink To Folder (navigate to the new folder, and you don't even have to select any images by name).
If you store your images in many different folders for the same document, you might want to either package the document to copy all of the images into one folder (you can specify to only copy images if you like) or use the fly-out in the links window (Utilities>Copy Links To…) and select or create a new images folder.

ID CS3: Bulk importing one image per page then creating a new page

Hello,
I have a project where I have 8.5x11 sized jpgs I would like to bulk import into indesign one per page, and have indesign create a new page for each image automatically. Is there some kind of simple import function that can do this? I have so far not found an easy way to do this.
Thank you.

Actually there is a script by Olav Kvern for doing exactly this that comes with IDCS3. It's called "image catalog.jsx". You can access it from your scripts pallet.
The documentation with it is nil. See my post complaining about it and the author's answer in the scripting forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6d931/2
It actually works quite well, after you learn to work with it's limitations

How to create a new page as a hyperlink to an external one?

I've been trying to solve this for like 2 hours and still haven't found the way!
When you create a new page in iWeb, it automatically adds its name into the navbar and creates a new page and folder with its content. Well, I want to create a new page that is a link to an outside webpage opening in a new tab. How do i do this? Editing the new page .html? I've tried that, but what should I write?
Anyway, hope somebody can give me a hand...
Thanx!

How can I create a new page in pages, without creating a new section?

how can I create a new page in pages, without creating a new section?

Good morning graywright,
It sounds as if what you are wanting to do in the Pages application is to insert a Page Break. Follow the steps in this article -
Pages '09: Inserting a Page Break
In a word processing document, click where you want the break to occur, and then choose Insert > Page Break.
To remove a page break, click at the beginning of the line that follows the break and press the Delete key.
In a page layout document, to insert a new page in your document, click Pages in the toolbar and choose from the template page options available.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Create a new page format

... Hi everybody !!!
I need to create a new page forma for a checkt: Width 165   / MM,   Height     / Unit       67    / MM
i created it in spad transaction,

But when i execute the program in order to print the format the system send a message
Device type HPLJ5 does not support page Z165X67, where z165x67 is a format that i created.
I think the problem is in the the definition format Z165X67 associated to devide type, in the actions
( printer initialization, reset after exit, cover page, end of page, etc ), here uses a hexadecimal code and i don'r undestand
this, someone can give me any suggestion.
    Thanks
    Best Regards

the jump of page is not equal, so the output for the other checks is nor rigth.
   Do you have any suggestion ??
Thanks

Text flows create a delay when an overflow creates a new page, preventing you from reading the page number, giving error

Hi all!
I am creating a script to generate automatically a photo catalog; the idea is to prepare a master document with a text frame in the master spread with auto flowing, then insert images with their caption by the script, letting the system create automatically the subsequent pages when necessary by an unique flow of text.
My catalog is divided in sections, each represented by a different master spread; so I have to know in which page I am working when the script put there an image, just to link the current page to the proper master spread.
To simplify everything I have resumed the core of my script here, using text instead of images:
/* load a master document, only containing an empty text frame in the master spread, connected to the main text flow */
var doc = app.open(new File("~/Desktop/mySampleDoc.indd"));
/* I work on the story, thinking that whenever the textframe of the first page will be full, another text frame will be created in the next page (automatically created) */
var story = doc.pages[0].textFrames[0].parentStory;
/* now I put some lines of text into the story, expecting the creation of a new page when the first one will be full */
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
   /* this is next line: */
    story.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "this is line n. " + i + "\r";
    /* here I want to know on which page is the line just created (error is generated here just during the creation of the new page + text frame) */
    thisPage = story.insertionPoints[-1].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.documentOffset;
   /* and now I print page number */
    story.insertionPoints.item(-1).contents = "current page: " + thisPage + "\r";
The big problem is: when the first text frame is full and an overflow is generated, a new page with a new text frame belonging to the main text flow (as the master spread wants) is generated; but it seems my script requests the page number before the new page with the new text frame is born, and an error is given.
It seems like the script goes too fast in respect to the creation of the new page.
If I delete the line thisPage = story.insertionPoints[-1].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.documentOffset; everything is ok.
I tried to introduce a delay until 3 seconds without any effect.
I tried also to show or zoom the new page before the page number request, thinking to force the system to wait until page is really born, also without any effect (by the way, I was not able to show the page during the script's additions of text!).
Someone can help me?
Many thanks to everyone
Roberto

Many thanks: you are right!
Unfortunately, I am at the very beginning with ExtendScript, and there are so many things I don't know until now...
With recompose() everything works very well, and it give me a solution also for redrawing the page while the script is working...
Many thanks, again!
Roberto
