Multiple copies of JPEG on ePub export

I'm making copies of a JPEG image and using this image in multiple places in my inDesign document. In the links panel, I see the disclosure triangle that shows all the pages that I'm using that link. So, all good so far.
When I export the document to ePub, I would have expected there to be a single version of the JPEG file in the resulting ePub file. However, I have multiple copies of the JPEG file, all the same size, but with different names.
So, if my original JPEG file is 1234.jpg, I'll have the following derivatives of that file in the "images" folder of the ePub:
1234.jpg
12341.jpg
12342.jpg
12343.jpg
Then in the CSS and XHTML pages, the different uses of 1234.jpg will each reference their own version of the file, so:
Page 1 will reference 1234.jpg
Page 2 will reference 12341.jpg
Page 8 will reference 12343.jpg
etc...
This seems very wasteful to me, as my ePub is now much larger because it has all of the duplicated JPEG files. Is there any way to avoid this, or is this expected behaviour?
Thanks

I have ID CC 2014, 10.1.0.71
I am exporting to Fixed Layout ePub.
According to a previous post, this issue was addressed with the 10.1.0.70 release but that's not my experience, so wondering if there is any other solution than going through and editing the CSS generated code?

  • ID ePUB export converts all *inline* anchored JPEG images to PNG?

    During ePUB export, when Image Conversion = Automatic, anchored JPEG images with Position = Inline are converted to PNG. If Anchored Object Position = Custom, the same images stay JPEG. Anyone know a better way to avoid than the less-than-ideal options below?
    Less than idea options:
    a) Use Image Conversion = JPEG (would also convert existing .gif and .png images)
    b) Specify Object Export Options for each image frame that contains a JPEG.
    Maybe this is just a bug.

    Here's the definition from the InDesign Help file:
    Image Conversion
    Lets you choose whether the optimized images in your document are converted to GIF, JPEG, or PNG. Choose Automatic to let InDesign decide which format to use in each instance. Choosing PNG disables the image compression settings; use PNG for lossless images or for images that include transparency.
    Choosing Automatic means InDesign decides which format to use. It doesn't mean keep the same format.

  • How can I gather multiple copies of photos on various devices into one central repository?

    Various episodes over the years of making albums, assembling collections for export or import, migrating between machines, etc have resulted in multiple copies of images to be scattered, in some cases, in unexpected combinations on a couple of separate iPhoto libraries.  Does the latest iPhoto (or Aperture, or ??) have means to identify and gather copies?
    Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated.

    The paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager can merge multiple libraries into one library while excluding duplicate image files.

  • How do I manging multiple copies of movies for AppleTV and iPod in iTunes?

    I do not have an AppleTV yet, but I am considering getting one. I was wondering how those who have both an iPod and ATV manage the syncing of Movies that may have different resolutions?
    If I want to have the same movie on ATV and my iPod I would need two copies in iTunes at different resolutions, correct? At least when I look at the iTunes export in iMovie it shows I can have a higher resolution for the ATV than the iPod.
    So, how do you manage the auto syncing of these multiple copies so that they aren't all copied to both devices? iTunes doesn't have good Movie management as far as sub-folders, etc. I would like iTunes to treat these copies as one movie and only sync the appropriate resolution for the device.
    I also notice that multiple copies then show up in FrontRow as well. It would be nice if only the highest resolution would show up.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Just create 2 different playlists like
    Movie-ATV
    Movie-iPod
    Put those video files with higher resolution on playlist Movie-ATV
    Put those video files with lower resolution on playlist Movie-iPod
    in iTunes Preferences choose your ATV only to sync the 1st movie playlist - and your iPod only to sync the 2nd one.

  • EPub export using just a range of pages from inDesign Book

    I've created an ePub Fixed Layout ebook from inDesign 2014.1. I now want to create a summary book for Apple's iBook store, using pages from multiple chapters.
    I know the ePub export dialog has an "Export Range" panel in the "General" tab. When you export from a single inDesign Document, you can either leave it as "All Pages" or chose a Page Range. However, I have an inDesign Book, with a inDesign document per chapter.
    When I do the ePub "Fixed Layout" export, I come to this panel and the option to select a Page Range is disabled, so I can't specify the pages I want. The pages are numbered to follow on from chapter to chapter.
    So, it looks to me like exporting to ePub from an inDesign Book will only allow you to create an ebook from ALL of the pages of the inDesign Book?
    I'd really like to create a summary from multiple chapters, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    Page range for export can only be selected when exporting a document to Fixed Layout ePub. It cannot be done when exporting book to Fixed Layout ePub.

  • More epub export woes

    I've moved back to CS4 to create and export my ebooks, since CS5 has the [very annoying] bug of failing to properly export intra book document hyperlinks.  Unfortunately, though CS4 seems to make better interactive epub files, I'm running into some other problems.  First off, every time I export a book to Digital Editions, ID CS4 crashes, often reporting damaged files on a restart--some of them so damaged that I can't reopen them and have to recreate them from scratch. The crash appears to be happening as the epub export is completing because I usually find the epub file after the crash and it will open and all of it is there. This has happened with 3 ebooks in a row . . . every time I do a book export to Digital Editions, CS4 crashes.
    Another strange thing I just ran across is the inaccurate export of typographical quote marks.  The weird thing about it is, that it can be correct in one book document and replaced by "Äô" in another book document in the same book.  I opened both docs, and they are using the same glyph and fonts, so I can't figure out why it's right in one place and wrong in another in the same ebook file.
    Anyone have any ideas about either of these issues?  I have fully patched CS4 (and CS5--though that helps little with the unfixed hyperlink bug) on an Intel Mac running 10.5.8.
    While I wait on any replies, I'm going to try the exports from my Windows 7 laptop to see if I have the same problems there.

    That was the first thing I did but copying the text to note pad and stripping all styles got me right back where I started. The strange thing is the encoding can be fine in some chapters and displayed wrong in others. whether it's a single file separated by first levels or multiple files in a book file.
    I've been told it's the reader's fault but that means ADE (and subsequent readers that use ADE would all see the bad encoding. In another forum I was told to add:
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> in the <head> of the document. I did, but it didn't change things.
    One thing I noticed was when exporting you get varying results of the encoding if you sort by unordered and ordered lists as opposed to convert to text.
    One will provide less encoding hassles. Anyway my only solution so far is manually editing the code to the html codes. Find and replace.

    It might be a worthwhile project to export the epub and convert the epub to epub in Calibre and see if Calibre reincodes it correctly.

  • Blurred Images in ePub export to Kindle.

    Blurred Images in ePub export to Kindle.
    I am using InDesign to create the ePub. My images are stock charts. All charts are high resolution in InDesign. No issues with images in InDesign. When I view the ePub in Adobe Digital Edition and in Kindle Previewer the images are blurred as if they lost the high resolution setting.
    The images are all jpeg. This is book 1 of 25 books with 34 chart images per book. Any ideas on a solution is appreciated.

    Your confusion seems to lay with the "Display Performance" in InDesign.
    InDesign's display performance is only important to InDesign.
    When you place a file into InDesign it doesn't place the actual image. It creates a proxy (thumbnail) of the image to be viewed in the layout only.
    InDesign links to files - to see the true resolution of an image you need to go the Window>Info and select the image and the information is visible in the Info panel.
    InDesign comes with 3 flavours of preview of the thumbnails it creates, Fast, Typical and High - these 3 viewing settings are only to give you a flavour, Fast shows you a gray box and there's an image there, Typical shows a lo-res proxy, and High shows a high quality thumbnail version of your image.
    These are not reflective of the true quality of the images.
    All your images are PNG which are perfectly fine to place in InDesign - you are actually losing quality in your images by converting everything to JPEG - as JPEG is a lossy file format - where as PNG is lossless.
    JPEG is much better for photographs (actual photos with lots of colour information)
    PNG is much better for solid blocks of colour and for Charts, Diagrams, line Drawings, Screenshots - PNG is preferred over JPEG.
    But all this changing to High Resolution in InDesign before Output does nothing reflective in the Output.
    The true quality of your images lies in the Information within the file - which is visible on Window>Info

  • InDesign CS6 EPub export: Possible to avoid object styles?

    After upgrading to CS6 I've been having issues with the new EPub export command. After expanding the EPUB file that was created I noticed all of the achored objects had been given their own, unique DIV classes in the default CSS file (ie the one now named after the INDD file) that included a bunch of formatting that I didn't want carried over from the print layout.
    I gather this is being called a new 'feature', but there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it. I thought the whole point of being able to use your own CSS file was to make a clean break from the styles applied in the print layout? I tried deleting the entire default CSS file and recompressing the EPUB and this actually seems to work (although I'm not sure why it does, since I would have thought that the unique class names wouldn't match with any defined in my basic CSS file?), although I'd prefer to avoid having to break the files open in the first place.
    Or am I missing something?
    Thanks!

    Ron Bilodeau who creates EPUB files for O'Reilly wrote a piece about EPUB from CS6 in the newest issue of InDesign Magazine. Perhaps what he says will be useful to you:
    "In the Advanced tab of the EPUB Export Options dialog box there is now an option
    to include multiple CSS stylesheets, in addition to the CSS that InDesign generates (Figure 3).
    "Initially, I was annoyed by this change, because Adobe removed the option to ignore the InDesign-generated CSS and only use a custom external CSS. I write my own custom EPUB CSS and therefore wanted to use that instead of what InDesign generates. But it didn’t take me long to realize that this new solution is pretty elegant. By default, any custom stylesheet attributes will override matching elements from the InDesign-generated CSS. This means that you have ultimate control over what is displayed. If you’re happy with how some of the InDesign-generated CSS works in your EPUB file, then simply leave those elements alone and let them do their job. For other elements that you’re not happy with, you can simply override them with your custom CSS. If you prefer to not write your own EPUB CSS, simply export your EPUB file without choosing any additional CSS file(s) and let InDesign do all the work."

  • Help! iMovie isn't importing still photos properly. I get multiple copies of the same photo!

    Hello all. iMovie is acting very ornery, and I need help -- or I'll never get my 2011 slideshow completed in time!
    I am trying to import several still photos into my movie project. In the past, I have simply dragged and dropped the appropriate photos from the iMovie photo browser into my project. Everything works — the way it should be with Apple products.
    Suddenly, iMovie doesn't want to play nice. No matter what photos I drag into the timeline, iMovie inserts multiple copies of one of the video clips that's already in my movie. The photos don't show up. If I play the movie, I get a blank screen where the photo/video should be.
    Is anyone else experiencing this probem? Is there an easy way to fix it?
    The following picture and text should help explain what I'm doing:
    Here are the steps I'm taking:
    1. I select one or several photos from the iMovie photo viewer (on the bottom right-hand side of the window.) -- In this case, I've selected 10 very different photos.
    2. I drag the photos into the project.
    3. iMovie appears to import the photos.
    4. I see 10 identical thumbnails in my project. They appear to be the same as the very last video clip in the project. However, when I scrub these thumbnails, or play the movie, I see a black screen.
    I've tried dragging the photos directly from iPhoto, or from the desktop, and still the same thing happens.
    HELP!
    Dave

    Thanks wesehrt. I had one jpeg such as "ALL_CAPS.jpeg" --- straight from my iPhone, imported/tweaked in Aperture no less ... and renamed it without the underscore and it worked.
    But I wasn't getting multiple copies or black screens. The image would import and I'd see the thumbnail in the project timeline, but what actually rendered was the last frame of the preceding video clip.
    Bizarre bugs with photos importation here.

  • Receiving multiple copies of text messages

    i have an iPhone 6 plus and have been receiving multiple copies of the same text message (up to 4x) from various contacts across various carriers. This has been an issue throughout having an iPhone 5s and 6 plus, and only occurs with regular messages, not iMessage. It also does not occur for automated text messages sent to me (e.g. Redbox). While I have unlimited messages it is frustrating because they are sent to me multiple times, and not necessarily in the same order each time. It is also inconsistent. I might get a single copy of one text and four of another. I have reset the phone, changed phones, and every other thing possible. This seems to be an issue not on my end. Assistance would be much appreciate.  Thanks.

  • Cross reference not working properly in epub exported from IDCC

    Hi,
    I'm not sure whether this is a known issue within ID so forgive me for bringing it up if it is. I couldn't find any satisfying answer on this forum, hence my question.
    It seems that cross references between the xhtml-docs created from split ID document during the epub export don't work properly. They link to the text anchors specified as relative links. My editor uses software compliant to many e-reader platforms that removes all the relative links between the xhtml files within any epub and replaces them by absolute hyperlinks (http://). The result is... broken links all over. Their specification asks for the the anchor entires in the content.opf file instead of the relative links. Is there a way to work it out in InDesign and have the content.opf file contain the navigation to the anchors in xhtml files within the epub?
    I'm working with IDCC 9.1 btw. Would appreciate any help...
    Kind regards, Kasia

    Hi,
       Not sure exactly where you gone wrong.
       If you want the running sum to start from beginning for each YEAR and each LINES. Use this
               =RunningSum([Sales revenue]; ([Year];[Lines]))   => Need Square brackets around Year and Lines. This forum site doesn't display square bracket correctly
       If you want the running sum to start from beginning only for each LINES (regardless of YEARS). Use this
                =RunningSum([Sales revenue]; ([Lines]))
       Not sure why you added ROW in your functions. Hope this help. Works for me, just tested using my efashion with the same structure are yours.

  • Hp deskjet 1510 multiple copies

    My HP Deskjet 1510 keeps making multiple copies of itself in my devices on windows 7. I've tried deleting the copies but they keep coming back can anyone help please for some reason its stopped letting me print.

    Hi kieranraikes,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Deskjet 1510 is making multiple copies. I am happy to help you! I would recommend the following:
    Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens.
    Powercycle the printer. (With the printer turned on, unplug the power cable from the back of the printer, and the wall outlet. Then wait 30 seconds, then plug the cable back in, wall outlet first. The printer will turn on automatically).
    Hope this information helps you, and have a great day!

  • I am unable to print multiple copies on 1 page

    I have a macbook and I used to be able to print multiple copies on 1 page. It had a selection on the bottom right. Now something has changed with the format. It allows me to select multiple copies, but only prints one.

    Hi,
    In order to print multiple documents on one page, you may follow the steps mentioned below:-
    Press Command+p- Select multiple pages or booklet

  • Printing multiple copies of 3 page BOL in Duplex mode-

    Hi Gurus!
    I have created a smartform to print the BOL on front side and terms and conditions on back side. I used the duplex mode to print and it works perfectly fine. When I have a BOL with 3 pages of information , it prints the items on the front side and terms and conditions on the second side and it does everything absolutely correctly.
    At our organization we always print 5 copies of any BOL and that is when the problem arises. When we do a printing of the BOL form with number of copies set to 5 , it prints very akwardly with the settings. First it prints page 1 front and same thing on the back, then  again the first page on the first and its back and then front on the third side , then similarly 5 sides of terms and conditions and then followed by 5 sides of page 2 items and followed by 5 sides of terms and conditions, which is very akward. Actually it should print first set with page 1 and TC on back of it , then Page 2 and TC on its back and page 3 and TC on its side like it does when I make a single copy.
    Is there any settings that I am missing thats making the above happen when I print multiple copies of the BOL?
    Please suggest.

    Hi!
    Thanks for the reply. I changed the settings of the printer to 'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)' and re-tried printing 5 copies of the BOL and it again seems to print the first page 5 sides then Terms and conditions on 5 sides, then again 5 sides of page 2 and followed by 5 sides of T&C.
    My settings on the smartforms is front page "D' and the back and the Last page is blank setting. This runs well when I just have to print one copy of my BOL , it prints the front page and then T&C on its back side , then again the second page and T&C on its back . This only messes when its more than one copy of the set of BOL.
    Please suggest as to what to do next to make it print in proper sets.
    Thanks and Regards
