Interactivity samples in fixed-layout epub exported from InDesign!

Hi,
Make an Indesign "Print" file and several seconds after, send your client a real interactive fixed-layout epub.
To do it for free, just take a look for samples to Fanfan la Tulipe, searching "fanfan michel allio" on iTunes! 

Hi,
Have you applied superscript via Control Panel or Character Panel's fly out menu? I am asking this because if you have specified via open type settings, then this will not be honored.
Regards,
Pooja

  • Indesign CC 2014 Fixed-Layout Epub exported great for iBooks.  Can I do the same for Kindle?

    I have read a lot about being able to edit the Epub code in a Fixed-Layout Indesign CC exported Epub.  This Epub works great in IBooks. What I read said I could clean up the
    code so it works for Kindle.  But I can't figure out what code needs to be cleaned out.  How can I export it correctly or clean it up?
    Hope someone here knows,
    Thanks for the help in advance,
    Janis

    Monica,
    Thanks for your response.
    I tried again as you suggested.
    I exported a Fixed Layout ePub (exported size ~29mb) and tried to load it on an Mac, iPad and iPhone 5s. The results are inconsistent. On the Mac, I received a message that the file was corrupt. On the iPad, the file did eventually load (the quality of the output is another discussion - sneak preview, it's not as good as Circular Flo. Lots of weird stuff). On the iPhone 5s, iBooks is still spinning and has been for about 10 minutes.

  • No fixed-layout EPUB export at 144ppi?

    Just curious. I created a nice EPUB in InDesign, all my images are full-page/screen, 1024x768. I exported it as a fixed-layout EPUB and specified 150ppi to cover the iPad's Retina resolution. However, Apple's iBooks wouldn't accept it due to the pixel dimensions being too large. I had to re-export at 96ppi (which was then accepted on iBooks Store). I was hoping for 144ppi, which would be equivalent to an iPad's retina resolution (2048x1536), but it's not an option in the pulldown menu. Am I off-track here? Any idea if this needs to be addressed? Thank you.

    Currently InDesign does not let you enter your preferred resolution  while exporting. it has to be from the available choices-72,96,150,300 ppi.
    To allow the user to be able to pick his own resolution setting is something which is in our backlog for EPUB Enhancements and might get addressed in later updates.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
    Believe it or not, one of the more helpful videos out in Adobe TV land showed interactive under the Object menu:
    See 5:30 on this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/how-to/interactivity-fixed-layout-epub.html?set=indesign- -key-techniques--epub-fixed-layout  I finally found the answer here at Adobe forums (monica).   Now I have it installed in the panel on the right.
    I'm on an iMac and use all Apple products.   I've tossed Windows to the wind. 
    Thank you so much for your support.

  • EPUB exported from InDesign works on iPad and not on Android tablets

    I've edxported several similar books to EPUB from InDesign CS5, using the same technique each. After exporting from InDesign, there's a lot of tweaking of the HTML code and some changes to the content.opf and toc.ncx, but the finished product for all of the books works fine on iPads but some do not work on Android tablets. There are six separate InDesign documents in each epub book...three small, one large, and then two small. Some of the books work fine on Android tablets, but for some of them, the first three documents show up fine, but when one advances to the large document, the book closes. There's no error message. Any ideas what the problem might be? Are there size limitations for documents on Android machines?

    As you have found out - it doesn't work.

  • Indesign Fixed Layout EPUB Export problems

    I am trying to export a fixed layout book using InDesign. I used the InDesign CC2014. I am working on a PC. I can read my previously hand-coded version done with Dreamweaver and validated with Pagina using the Firefox epub reader extension.
    The exported version from InDesign does not have fixed text. The text has spread out all over the page and some of the words are actually scrambled. Some letters are on top of each other. The file itself validates with no errors using Pagina. But it is not readable as fixed layout using the Firefox Epub Reader Extension.
    Is this a problem with my epub reader? Or is this a problem with the export?
    Has anyone tested a file on a PC with an epub reader other than Calibre or Readium?

    Hello,
    I just tested on Readium and it looks fine there using the Readium app on Google Chrome. (PC version). I'm not releasing books on Apple, so I will not be testing on Mac.
    I will probably be testing for Kobo, I was hoping for a browser extension on Mozilla that it would work on.
    Many thanks,

  • Fixed layout ePub exporting text issues.

    Hello, i'm new to the ePub Fixed layout. When i export my project i get something like this:
    Font size changes, i have looked for troubleshooting but nothing so far.
    When i export into pdf or epub reflow, text seems to be fine, however, on my project, i need it to be Fixed layout.
    Thanks in advance

    Hey there Ellis, thank you for your reply, however, that was not the problem. I already had ADE 4.0.
    The real problem was that my indesign wasn't updated, after the update it exported perfectly. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.

  • Is it possible to script Fixed Layout EPUBs export?

    For example using Javascript:
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.EPUB, File("PathToBook.epub"), false);
    Gives a version 2 EPUB which is not what i'm after... i'm after an EPUB3.
    Maybe an epubExportPreferences parameter.. or something?
    Is there an API for CC 2014?

    There is some docuemntation for InDesign CC-2014 v10.0 (explicitly NOT for v10.1):
    InDesign ExtendScript API (10.0)
    Do your own documentation, if you like to:

  • Fixed Layout EPUB is not displaying correctly in any of the popular epub readers.

    Hi,
    After creating the doc in the Indesign cc, I exported it to the fixed layout epub format. The result was catastrophic! The images, text, font size - everything was chaos. I needed the epub to be working in ipads and android tablets.
    Can anybody help? Need to deliver it to my customer on priority.
    I tried the output in ibooks, Aldiko, ADE and a few other popular readers.
    Thx
    VJ

    Hi Ananda,
    Adobe Digital Editions has come up with a new update ADE 4. You can view your Fixed Layout EPUB here. Please note that ADE 4 on Mac works fine with FXL EPUB exported from InDesign CC 2014, you might see some issue on Windows though. We are aware of the issues and the team is working on fixing these issues with ADE on Windows.
    Readium is also a good reader which displays FXL EPUB fine.

  • 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?

  • Fixed layout ePub not display truetype font properly when uploaded to Amazon

    I've created a kids book with inDesign CC which works fine on iPad but when I upload the book to Amazon KDP, the font which is a truetype font and not protected doesn't display properly. It has unusual spacing between the charaters and sometimes the letters overlap each other.  Can i embed this font somehow to have it display properly? I can't find an option anywhere to do that. Or will I have to change the font entirely?  Many thanks.

    Hi Yves,
    Yes, it is an SIL license. I am not using Allatuq anymore, I switched to Quicksand which I got from fontsquirrel.com.
    Yes, there is a fixed layout epub option in inDesign CC 2014:
    It even has some default sizing options though I have gone with a custom size to account for larger devices, desktop reading etc and am hoping that it's going to work.
    The Kindle previewer (desktop version) displays perfectly.
    The online previewer has had some display issues with what looks like drop shadows on some images but i'll need to look at the actual file on multiple devices to see what the reality is.
    There are some inconsistencies between how the fonts look in the previewers. The online one is not perfect and the desktop previewer displays exactly as designed so again, I won't really know until I can get my hands on the devices. There is also a sizing issue with the online previewer that the desktop previewer doesn't seem to have. And then there will be the issue that the "purchase" file isn't consistent with the preview file you download so not sure how it will all pan out yet.
    I had lots of overlapping and other character spacing issues until I changed my font to the OTF Quicksand with the SIL License. I'm hoping the drop shadows are just an issue with the online previewer.
    And I'm hoping my conclusion is correct that the OTF with the SIL licenses work for embedding so long as you remove the encryption and replace the encrypted font with the orignal version (and include the license). And I'm hoping that is allowed.

  • Important Video Series on Fixed Layout EPUB from InDesign CC

    I'm happy to announce that Anne-Marie Concepcion has released a video series on Lynda.com about creating Fixed Layout EPUB from InDesign CC. It's up-to-date to the latest InDesign CC version (October 2014).
    Here's the link:

    Sorry guys... Wish I'd seen this earlier. I could've told you that highlighting and note taking capabilities are disabled intentionally in fixed layout EPUBs and Kindle KF8 books.
    The only time you will see an FXL book that does support highlighting is if is in either B&N or Amazon's "Page Perfect" or "Page Replica" format - which is basically just a packaged PDF of sorts that can be read through Kindle and Nook apps (Other college book apps like kno.com and the old CourseSmart support Page Replica, too. CourseSmart was recently merged in with VitalSource, however, so I don't know what they are doing these days WRT page replicas). iBooks does not support any sort of print page replica. It's EPUB 3 FXL or iBooks Author only for Apple.

  • What .swf file interactivity works in a Fixed Layout ePub?

    I've test a .swf file in an fixed layout ePub file and it seems that the animations work but none of the navigation buttons. Can someone confirm what .swf features work and don't work in fixed layout ePubs.

    "eventListeners" is not an InDesign feature for buttons.
    I think you're out of luck.
