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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • 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:

  • 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?

  • Missing cover on Fixed Layout ePub in iBooks

    Hello.
    My client is having a problem with the cover of their book disappearing after they open it in iBooks. I generated the Fixed Layout ePub from inDesign CC 2014 and had the same problem until I updated the OS on my iPad a few days ago. I suggested the client do the same (freshly updated yesterday to OS 8.0.2) but it has not resolved the cover issue. Anyway have any suggestions on what may be causing this and how this can be fixed?

    Initially (two weeks ago) I had chosen a separate cover image but when I tested the file on my iPad, the cover would disappear and all I would see is the half title page. My workaround was to add the cover image as a 1st page, rasterize the first page when making the cover, then also export the full book including the cover page as if it was part of the text so if the cover disappeared it would still show in place of the half title page. After we updated the OS on the iPad (1 week ago) I didn't need to do that anymore, but the client seems to still be having problems and she had also updated the OS at my suggestion.

  • Another Blank Page in Fixed Layout Epub

    Having trouble with a blank page in this epub (link to epub file on acrobat.com).
    I've read a couple of threads, and have exported the indd as an indb and reopened (trying to mitigate the possibility of the file being corrupt). I had to fix a date in the content.opf that was in the MM/DD/YYYY format (reformatted to YYYY-MM-DD). To repackage the epub, I created a new zip file, and added the mimetype file first, and then added the META-INF and OEBPS folders. Everything checks out at EPUB Validator (beta) Results. The file looks horrid in Adobe Digital Editions 3.0, but looks great in Calibre.
    As you can see from the file name, I've tried a number of things to try and deduce the issue (deleting multiple pages, one at a time, to see if there was an issue with a specific page, tried to build the epub without a cover image...)
    It's always the 3rd page that is blank, even after removing multiple pages, which I find curious.
    Any insights from others that have dealt with these problems trying to get Fixed Layout epubs from InDesign CC 2014 into Google Play Books is very much appreciated.

    Hi,
    The file is missing here: (link to epub file on acrobat.com). Could you post it again?
    Did you see your exported FXL EPUB in any other reader? iBooks is recommended but Readium also supports FXL EPUB and would be equally good to verify this issue.

  • Fixed layout Epubs versus PDF!

    I have this niggling thought that I can't seem to shake off, so I'll air
    it out here:
    What is the difference between a fixed-layout ePub and a PDF? I mean,
    what is the intrinsic difference? Isn't a PDF precisely a fixed-layout
    ePub, only better?
    A PDF has searchable text. It can be enlarged or reduced at will on the
    screen. In a fixed-layout ePub, the line breaks are fixed, as are the
    position of the graphics.
    So why a fixed-layout ePub??

    EPUB allows access to new distribution options and new tooling and integration options (ex: HTML animation/interactivity) also become possible because EPUB is based on web technologies.
    IMHO, it is the rise of ebook stores which has driven EPUB - I can sell an EPUB in a store, not so much with a PDF.
    Here is the first EPUB that the team knows about which was created with the new FXL export feature:
    iTunes - Books - Outside the Box by Karma Wilson
    Obviously this could have been created as a PDF (which it was when they went to print it in on paper since the original files were InDesign) but by ALSO exporting to EPUB FXL it made it possible to reach this store.
    In the end it is all about the specific reading-apps/device and what format you have to create in order to reach that app.

  • Hyperlink Problem when Creating Fixed Layout ePub

    Hi guys, not sure if anyone can help...
    I've created a fixed layout ePub from a print document and everything works perfectly apart from I can't get hyperlinks to work.
    Originally I'd set up the hyperlinks on my text which didn't work. After a bit of digging around I found some documentation stating that text hyperlinks don't work and that they need to be fired from an image. Also, internal links (to other pages) don't work, only links to external URLs - fortunately for me - all my required links are to external URLs, however, they still don't appear to work... does anybody have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
    I'm testing with Redium on Windows 7 and iBooks on iPad Air
    Thanks in Advance
    Kindest regards
    Poll

    Hi Poll,
    The hyperlinks are set on what kind of objects? If the external hyperlinks are applied on a text frame or a rectangle, it won't work. There are two cases that work:
    1. Hyperlink on images
    2. Hyperlink on objects in a group and the group is set to rasterise from Object Export Options dialog.
    What is your case which is not working? Please elaborate.
    Regards,

  • Fixed layout ePub problem with facing pages

    Hi,
    I have a 240 page book made out of multiple inDesign files that I'm trying to convert to a fixed layout ePub. Everything works like a charm except the transition from one file to the next.
    The book uses facing pages setting so when the file ends for example in page 40, it is a left hand page, and the next file starts from page 41 and that is a right hand page. After exporting to fixed layout epub, the resulting file has blank pages between the files. What I mean is after the left hand page 40 there is an empty right hand page, then an empty left hand page followed by right hand page 41.
    What would be the easiest solution for this?

    Hi,
    I found the problem from the book panel so case closed. In "Book Page Numbering Options" I had "Insert Blank Page" selected. This didn't cause any problems when exporting to pdf but resulted in extra blank pages when exporting to ePub.
    Attached is a screenshot from the book panel. The problem occurred between all the files.

  • Fixed Layout Epub: 1st left page always blank.

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
    I'm running the latest edition of InDesign 2014 CC.
    Basically I want the 1st page of the document to be on the left-hand side of the spread, so that my graphics make sense as I've placed them in the document. Like this:
    However, after I export the file in Fixed Layout Epub, I get this result, with the first page on the right-hand side of spread instead:
    I've tried export options, "Based on document layout" and "Enable Synthetic Spreads." I've used the export option Export Range "2-9" hoping it would start on page 2 (first page of the story). And I've also tried changing the layout so that the first page is page 1 in the InDesign Layout... all with the same result.
    If you can throw me a bone here, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Ehren

    Just start your document as usual on page one. You don't need to manipulate the pages position on the pages panel as shown on your screenshot. Once you Start Page Numbering at 2 it will adjust automatically.
