Need help exporting ID file with TOC to EPUB.

I've been troubleshooting a file created in ID CS5.5 and then moved to CC. When I export to EPUB the TOC ends up at the end of the file rather than at the point where I originally inserted the TOC. The vendor I'm sending the EPUB to won't accept a file with the TOC out of place. I tried exporting to an HTML editor and moving the TOC there. (I'm no whiz at HTML though.) Now I see no way to import the file back into ID to export it as EPUB ( and doubt that's the best way to deal with this anyway). I'd deeply appreciate any suggestions!

First of all, a TOC is not only "The Toc". You need to distinguish between the dynamic Reader TOC and a optional TOC e.g. on page 3. While the first is generally required, the second is optional in most cases.
You must also distinguish whether the export is EPUB 2 or EPUB 3.
1. Assume you mean the dynamic TOC > InDesign will create the TOC on the right place, if you choose the TOC-Style during the export.
2. Assume you mean the TOC on page 3 > Here the content- or article-order is important! If you have a threaded story from page 2-100 and your TOC as a single frame on page 3 > InDesign will first export the content on page 2 AND the content of all threaded frames and at least your TOC on page 3.
3. Assume further your exported file is correct in most cases, you can change the order of your TOC in the EPUB directly in the content.opf file in the spine-area
To give you more help, I must have a look at your file.

  • Need help exporting large file to bitmap format

    I have a large file that I need to export to a bitmap format and I am experiencing unknown "IMer" errors, memory and file size limitations.
    The file contains only one artboard of size around 8000 pixels by 6000 pixels. I can successfully export as a png at 72dpi giving me a 100% image of my AI file. However I need to export an image at 200% of the AI file. If I export as a png at 144dpi to achieve this I get the following error(s)
    "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error (IMer)" or "Could not complete this operation. The rasterised image exceeded the maximum bounds for savung to the png format"
    I have tried exporting as tiff, bmp and jpeg but all give "not enough memory"  or "dimensions out of range" errors.
    Does anyone know the limitations with AI for saving large files to bitmap format?
    Does anyone have a workaround I could try?

    You could try printing to Adobe Postscript files.
    This will actually save a .ps file and you can scale it to 200% when doing so. You'll need to "print" for every image change.
    Then open a Photoshop document at your final size (16000x12000 pixels) and place or drag the .ps files into the Photoshop document.
    I just tested this and it seems to work fine here. But, of course, I don't have your art, so complexity of objects might factor in and I'm not seeing that here.
    And you are aware that Photoshop won't allow you to save a png at those dimension either, right? The image is too large for PNG. Perhaps you could explain why you specifically need a png that large???

  • Need help exporting .mov files for editing in PE3

    hi,
    i'm trying to export HD .mov files from an Aiptek GO-HD camcorder that seems to record in QT format with some funky codecs. I need to export it into a format that i can edit on a PC using Premier Elements 3.0. The few tests i've run have shown a huge increase in size when exporting from .mov to .avi (100m to 30 GB).
    Does anyone have any suggestions or experience doing this?

    You just need to open the .mov file with Elements.
    You don't need to convert it using QuickTime Pro
    first.
    Premiere may "convert" it to some other format to
    allow editing (I don't know) and that would only take
    some time at import.
    HD files are anywhere from 10 to 60 MB's per second
    (some even higher) so a DV version will drastically
    increase in file size.
    What, besides editing, is the goal of your work?
    that doesn't work with this camcorder. apparently the encoding is called QT, but it really isn't. i have to export into something else in order to edit.
    the goal of my work is to convert choppy family video into something clean that i can share with friends and family via CD / DVD (not streaming on net).

  • Need help moving photoshop files with layers

    I have been having some trouble, when I attempt to move photoshop files with a CD-R disk, from my school pc to my home mac, only the top most image is moved. The layers are deleted, and I only receive the image on the background layer. I need the layers to continue working on the pieces. Would a flash drive transfer the whole file, or am I doing something wrong with the disk file?

    Yeah, time is a factor because the system is getting wiped in a few days. The school version is photshop 7 I believe, and I have photoshop CS3 extended here. What I did was save the file to the CD burner, I didn't change the format to my knowledge. I thought that the data would have transfered from computer to computer, but it didnt, its like it saved as a different file entirely. I assume that using a flash drive would preserve the info in its entirety. I guess your saying that the type of file its saved as changes whether its a photoshop layers file, or just a flat image. I'll try again tomorrow.

  • (need help) Replacing AVI files with MOV files in a edit.

    I'm working on a large edit that uses low res AVI files for editing,
    Though all the high res files are written as MOV's with exactly the same name (just being a different filetype)
    Is there a way to automaticly re-link all those avi movies with those high res MOV files?
    The edit is quite big, so it would save me a very tedious job

    Close Premiere.  Change the name of the folder the current AVI files are in.  Reopen Premiere.  When it asks you where the files are, point it to the new ones.
    The only stumbling block may be the different extension.  I'm not sure if Premiere will pass that by or trip over it.

  • Need help to reduce file with photoshop!!

    I own a website flash game http://babegamer.com
    I asked someone create a banner for my site but it in GIF animation with over 1.5mb. Thus, I change it into jpg with only 30kb (static banner).
    Someone tell me convert gif to swf to reduce the size. How ever when I try to use the software to convert it, it make a swf which is bigger size then gif.
    How can I do it?

    You rebuild it in Flash! Sorry, there's no easy solution to your problem. You need to encode the stuff as FLV and then create a proper SWF from it or even better, animate everything as native layers/ symbols in Flash. Your alleged magic conversion too fails, because such tools embed each frame as a JPEG, hence such SWFs often get larger than the source. If you will - they are merely converting each frame of your GIF to a JPEG and embed it into an SWF wrapper.

  • Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

    Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

    Okay, Even if i remove the scene numbers from Story and export the file to Final Draft 8. The format in incorrect. The "transitions" ex. CUT TO:  are not in the correct allignment. Also there are numbers on each of the dialogues
    Pretty much alot of the formatting is not the same. Spaces  that break dialouge and action which are there in Story, are not converted over to Final Draft.
    Please fix this as soon as possible.
    thanks,

  • Exporting text files with song names and artist names only

    I need help exporting a playlist as a text file. I know how to do this already,(right click playlist and select "export song list...") but when i open it up in notepad, it is unorganized and is very hard to read. I am burning a disc for my mom and pasting the playlist on the back of the cd cover. I dont want to type out every artist and song name. Help is appreciated.

    do you have a copy of Excel (or a different spreadsheet) on the PC, kevin? if so, try opening the text file with that. then it's relatively easy to remove information by deleting the columns of info that you don't want.

  • Need help exporting videos in final cut

    Hi guys, I have been using Final Cut for about 6 months now and I am STILL having trouble exporting my files. I mean there are so many options I am unsure which one to choose.
    This current wedding video I did for a client...due to my lack of expertise, the footage turned out very grainy. I still put together a decent video, and it was time for me to export the video in order to upload on vimeo. I do not know the proper settings to use when uploading to vimeo, so I just use Final Cut's Quicktime Conversion and I just export the file with LAN/Intranet settings. When I saw this footage, I noticed the grain was ALL GONE... but has aliasing
    question # 1...why did this happen?
    If I export the file as quicktime movie, the grain is all still there.
    When its time for me to burn the movie, exported sending the the file to compression, and then using DVD: Best quality 90 minutes setting
    when I saw the footage, GRAINY again!!
    I threw the smaller file which had no grain on it but had aliasing...and the dvd, looked okay but the aliasing was still there, so obviously I'm doing SOMETHING wrong..
    here's the file
    http://vimeo.com/5312419
    pass: vimeoaccount101
    Question #2: What is the best way for me to export my movies so that I see minimal grain and no Aliasing..
    Thanks!

    First of all let me say you do great work. I was very impressed! I would hire you to do my wedding.
    #1 As far as vimeo is concerned if you go to their help section they have very clear instructions as to the best specs for uploading video.
    #2 With the graininess & Aliasing, we need to know more info. What camera/s did you use and at what settings(e.g. interlaced, progressive, etc.)
    Off subject, I am curious to know how you achieved your pan effect. Was it hand held, did you use a glidecam? Once again I am a fan of how you pick and choose your shots...great work! You should be doing movies, not weddings.

  • How can I export a file with transparent background?

    Hi all,
    I know InDesign doesn't allow to export a PNG file, but I need my file to be in image file format with transparent background.
    I'm still learning so I am stuck here. How can I export a file with transparent background?

    If you can't get the PNG file export to work, you can export a pdf and open it in Photoshop, from there you can save it as whatever you like.

  • I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

    Good morning,
    I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

    It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
    The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
    A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.
