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:

  • Text cutting off when converting to EPUB from InDesign

    Hi there,
    The text of one paragraph style is being cut in half when the file is exported to EPUB from CS6.  The problem is coming through in more than one e-reader.  We tried solving the problem by editing the CSS, but this removed the font in one e-reader and made no change in another.
    Is there a way this problem can be fixed in InDesign, maybe some change to the paragraph style?
    Thanks!

    Figured out the problem - there was just an issue witht he line spacing of that paragraph style.

  • Choosing the optimum graphics resolution when exporting to epub from ID5

    I'm creating a ebook for the iPhone that includes a bunch of images. I'd like some help choosing the correct resolution for those images when they're exported to an epub file.
    These images were imported into an ID5 document as EPS files. They are 100% vector-based BW (2 bit) line art.
    The Export to ePub dialog box gives me the option of choosing Low, Medium, High and Maximum resolution for bitmpas of the images that ID5 will create during the export process.
    Smaller is better from the standpoint of file size and display performance, but I want the images to look sharp.
    Which of these options is probably the best for the iPhone?
    Thanks! --Mike

    Thanks for your replies. Upon further investigation, actually Pages is producing good code and it displays properly in various ebook readers, but not under iOS. *So this is not a Pages issue at all.*
    Good to hear!!

  • 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.

  • SWF animations not working properly when exported as PDF from InDesign

    I'm using InDesign CS5 and have created a document that I want to add interactivity and animations to. I've created buttons and page destionations, etc, which all work perfectly  when exported to a PDF but the simple animation that I wanted to include don't work. The animations have been created in InDesign then selection exported as a SWF file and then imported and placed in InDesign and then exported as an interactive PDF where the animations either don't work, haven't been picked up or don not work as they should. What am I doing wrong, how do I get the animations to work correctly?

  • 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

  • Acrobat (10.1.3) crashes when exporting a pdf from InDesign (7.5.2)

    So every once and a while I export a file to pdf from InDesign and Acrobat crashes.  Sometimes it doesn't crash until I reduce file size.  It always happens when it is actually saving the file.  Usually I am overwriting a file with a newer version but not always and either way I get a crash.  I copied my crash report below.  Please help.  This reduces my productivity greatly.
    http://pastebin.com/DNpKCNXA

    I'm going to leave this open here in case anyone has some ideas, but since this is an Acrobat crash (it looks like it might have something to do with security), you should cross post in the Acrobat forum.

  • Can you retain text highlighting when exporting to PDF from InDesign?

    Hi,
    I have several publications that are now going to be reviewed by another individual and I was planning to export them to PDF.
    However, I've already highlighted bibliographic references, table call outs, figure call outs in the InDesign file using different colors and I was wondering if there is a way to retain that highlighting when exporting to PDF? Just thought it might make their life a little easier since I already have all that done in the file.
    Thanks!

    Ah ha! Got it! All I needed was your prompt! I looked to make sure that it was set up as conditional text and noticed the Show/Hide option at the bottom of the pop-up. (I knew I saw something before that would allow this, but couldn't remember where!)
    Thanks for jogging my memory!

  • 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 there a page size limit when exporting a pdf from InDesign?

    My indd file is 201x40 inches with a 1.5 inch slug. When I export to pdf I get this message, "The document page size exceeds the page size range supported in PDF files. Exported pages will be resized to fit within PDF limits."

    Although the PDF spec mentions that it's feasible to create a PDF as large as 15,000,000 inches in either direction, 200 x 200 inches is Distiller’s limit for PostScript. It’s based on the Windows printer driver limitation.
    If I read the quote below correctly, the maximum page size is 15 million inches (381 km).
    "This is from the PDF Reference 1.6:
    177. In PDF versions earlier than PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit is fixed at 172 inch. In Acrobat viewers earlier than version 4.0, the minimum allowed page size is 72 by 72 units in default user space (1 by 1 inch); the maximum is 3240 by 3240 units (45 by 45 inches). In Acrobat versions 5.0 and later, the minimum allowed page size is 3 by 3 units (approximately 0.04 by 0.04 inch); the maximum is 14,400 by 14,400 units (200 by 200 inches).
    Beginning with PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit may be set with the UserUnit entry of the page dictionary. Acrobat 7.0 supports a maximum UserUnit value of 75,000, which gives a maximum page dimension of 15,000,000 inches (14,400 * 75,000 * 172). The minimum UserUnit value is 1.0 (the default)."

  • 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?

  • Disable printing when exporting to PDF from Indesign

    Hi  I need to create a T&C form which will be emailed out to clients, the sales team have requested that this should be readable but not printable as a PDF in a small step in saving the environment. I actually achieved this last week and now for the life of me cannot work out how to do it again. Would anyone be able to help?  Many thanks, Claire
    NB: unchecking the 'Print Layer' in the Layer Options box does not work, sadly neither does ticking the 'Nonprinting' option in the Attributes window. I have a feeling it was something in the export dialog box but definitely not a security ermissions option as the PDF I created last week doesn't require a password and yet won't print.

    If you're hoping to prevent a PDF document from printing with sneak-around backdoors, you'll be disappointed.
    Anyone who breaks an expensive scanner platen glass by placing or dropping a CRT monitor on it, when following Eugene's illustrated example, might be permanently dissuaded. Making a screen shot with the computer's own tools, or a camera's phone is easier and safer.
    If your hope is simply to always prompt the user to reconsider killing trees needlessly, it may be possible to intercept a print request made from the Acrobat display software in use at the time (Acrobat, Reader, Web browser window, Mac Preview, etc.) and display an alert to think about printing before proceeding. If this kind of print request can't be intercepted, you could consider creating a button in the document labeled "Print," but which displays an alert and gives the option to proceed or cancel. Perhaps there a script solution for what you need.
    If your hope is to make it as difficult as possible for someone to print a PDF, consider converting text to outlines and/or incorporating a patterned background behind text, to disable easy Optical Character Recognition, and to "contaminate" graphics. However, a clever Photoshop user might be able to minimize the graphic pattern.
    NOTE: Enabling Acrobat's security to disable screen readers does not disable the ability to select and highlight on-screen text, but it does prevent copying the text to the clipboard.

  • Is there a way to automatically set the file name in Acrobat Properties when exporting a PDF from Indesign?

    When I used Quark to make a PDF, the title area in the PDF was automatically populated with the file name, there in the properties tab. We like use this area to confirm file names of original files, so we can keep track of drafts, (in case the file name of the PDF is changed, which our boss often does). Is there any way to set up InDesign to do the same?

    @stadlock – I think I know what you mean…
    You exported to PDF and changed the file name in the export dialog to a different one from the document name presented there the first time you exported that document. And in exports after that the new name will be presented in the dialog instead of the name of the document.
    What you can do against that?
    1. First time you want to export: Save before the document is exported. And do not save after it's exported with a new file name.
    2. After the new file name is already there in the export dialog:
    Type in the document name in the dialog. Export. Or abort after chosing a export preference. Save. Check again, if the document's file name is in the export dialog. If yes, procede like in suggestion #1. If not do a full export with the document's file name, save and then procede with suggestion #1.
