Pages 09 to epub Export Issue

Dear all,
I am constantly encountering the following issue with Pages 09 (Appstore, 10.7.4, iMac i5, 16 GB RAM):
On Export to epub Pages omits the last 20 or so pictures from a document containing 78 embedded (all!) pictures.
Facts:
- Source document size 15 MB, ca 100 pages
- Resulting epub file size 7,8 MB (with the error)
- Export to pdf and word flawless
- All pictures are embedded (rechecked every single occurance). In fact I created an embedded graphic object which is filled with the picture. I than copied the object and pasted it into the document where needed and only exchanged the fill picture because its much quicker to duplicate all the settings and properties.
So: All embedded objects are identical except for the fill picture - but some are exported, the others are not. And only in epub.
Except for that, the ebook is exported properly and well readable on the ipad and with calibre.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks and best,
Behappy

You can't have mages beyond the 11MB of un-encoded image data allocation per chapter.

EPub export issues and e-book programs that work with it

Hey Ladies and Gents,
I'm working with my coworker on ePUBS for our company products but we're pretty much noobs when it comes to these. We've hit a few snags that I'm hoping someone on here might be able to clear up.
So far we've managed to export our white papers as fixed layout but when we open them up in adobe digital editions a lot of the text content seems to overlap like below:
We don't have that problem in reflowable layout but some of our anchored points and captions get misplaced (which is almost worse). Is there anyway to fix this issue in the settings with Fixed layout without having to switched over to reflowable?
We have them layed out for ipads and iphones. They include products photos/tables along with their descriptions.We primarily would love to have them up on iBooks and amazon for free for our clients to view.
Only thing is, we haven't found a good program to download/publish our ePUBS to the correct format they need.
Currently, Apple has seven approved iBookstore aggregators we've heard of that could work:
• BiblioCore—www.bibliocore.com
• BookBaby—www.bookbaby.com
• Constellation—www.perseusdigital.com
• INgrooves—www.ingrooves.com/digital-publishing
• Ingram—www.ingramcontent.com/apple
• Lulu—www.lulu.com/apple-ipad-publishing
• Smashwords—www.smashwords.com/about/how_to_publish_ipad_ebooks
However, Lulu is expensive and doesn't bring in photos. we've seen a program that does that for $800
BUT we're hoping for a cheaper route; That's not exactly in our budget. We don't know much about the other ones. I'm hoping someone on here could give us some good insight on what would be the best choice for publishing our books onto ibooks and amazon.
Thanks,
Kristen

I don't know what was running in the background that was causing InDesign to crash when I ran the epub export but now that I've restarted the machine (Windows 7) and restarted InDesign CS 5.5 the epub export works fine. Though I'm still noticing problems with both the TOC and Cover image being exported at the same time. When that is done the TOC is not incorporated into the epub. This isn't much of a concern at the moment since I can always use some freeware to add that in. I'm also puzzled that I can't add the author information in bridge. InDesign locks the epub up so that the author, title, etc can not be edited in bridge. But once again I can always use freeware to do this. Thanks for the help you two.

Pages 5.2 PDF Exporting Issues

Ever since I upgraded to OS X and Pages 5.2, the system will no longer allow me to export a Pages doc to PDF into certain folders. I keep getting a message that says "The document "xyz name of doc" could not be exported as "xyz name of doc". I have tried changing the name of the document but that doesn't help. The only thing I have found that works is if I change the destination folder...and them after exporting it to PDF I am able to move it into the folder I originally wanted to put it in. I have tried cleaning up the original destination folder and removing old docs thinking it is a spacing limitation but that didn't help. Any one else having this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix this?
There is also now a limit to the # of characters that I can save the document as in certain folders. But again this only applies to certain folders so this sounds like something I should be able to change the parameters but I cannot find where to do that. Any suggestions?

Actually I can still save it as PDF, without converting to Pages '09. It just won't let me save it in the folder I want to save it in...which is a subfolder. But if I save it in the main "Documents" folder, that works just fine. Then it will allow me to move it to the folder I originally wanted it in the first place.
The issue is this wastes time AND I've been getting error messages stating the filename cannot be longer than 31 characters even when it is not at or over 31 characters. So this leads me to believe that there is a problem w/ the updated version of Pages NOT my computer.

Major metadata Problem with new Pages(v4.3) epub export

Iam are very disappointed with new Pages update (4.3). After new Pages update, when i want to export a book into epub, and upload book in iBookstore iTunes Producer cancels it, because of ERROR: /OPS/cover.xhtml(5,458): element "div" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag, text or element "a", "abbr", "acronym", "applet", "b", "bdo", "big", "br", "cite", "code", "del", "dfn", "em", "i", "iframe", "img", "ins", "kbd", "map", "noscript", "ns:svg", "object", "q", "samp", "script", "small", "span", "strong", "sub", "sup", "tt" or "var" (with xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"). Previously i did not have any problems with uploading the epubs produced in Pages (4.2). I checked our epubs using epubchecker and i think, that new Pages (4.3) makes incorrect HTML elements in epubs, which i want to export.
Please, send me some feedback and Apple - fix this problem.!

Have you tried creating your content in Pages v4.3 and transferring it into iBooks Author 2.0. Let the latter export your epub, which may be a newer epub standard than what Pages may incorporate. See if this epub satisfies the iBookstore iTunes Producer file requirements.
iBooks Author can't produce .epub, only a special .ibooks format that can't be read on any device other than an iPad. But should certainly satisfy the ibookstore.

New Pages Update Includes ePub Export

According to
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4165
Pages 4.0.4 Includes compatibility with the standard ePub file format (for use with iBooks) when exporting. More info at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4168

Thanks Tom This http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4168 was a great summary and I successfully exported my PhD thesis to ePub format via Pages 9 (v4.0.4). Looks great!
I would next like to distribute on iTunes Store - yes, I hold copyright - but where do I start? Thanks.

Pages for iOS converts movies to images on ePub export

It appears that Pages for iOS is able to use the Apple-supplied template for ePub export that was originally developed for Pages in the iWork '09 suite. However, when I add video to a document and then export to ePub, Pages for iOS issues this message in the Export Details:
Some changes were made to your exported documnet.
Movies were converted to images.
The movies play fine in Pages for iOS, they just don't get exported when ePub is chosen despite the fact that iBooks for iOS will handle video embedded in ePub perfectly well.
Since Pages for MacOS X exports to ePub without converting movies to images, this appears to be a major parity issue. Apple has gone to some lengths to reach parity between MacOS X, iOS and iCloud with respect to iWork and iLife app suites and has gotten considerable heat over those efforts, I have to wonder whether I've missed something in coming to this sad conclusion. Have I?

It sounds as if your caption is beneath the object to which it's referencing. If so, you can either do one of two things. The first thing (and doesn't require any XHTML knowledge) is to place the caption above the image (a bit unconventional in comparision to dead-tree printing). This will cause the e-reader to begin the page with the caption (the linked item) and thus contain the object of reference below, ensuring it's on the same page for viewing.
Another option, and a more elegant solution (but more technical), is to open the EPUB file with an app like BBEdit or TextMate. Both of these apps can open an EPUB file without having to unzip the file. With the file open, navigate to the file in which you want to make your edit (which will be located in the OEBPS folder). Run a Regex search for your caption title (regex \bcaption\b) and ensure you've found the correct location. Locate your <a id="caption" /> destination anchor. The code just above this anchor should be your image. Remove this code above the image with a p class, like so: <p class="caption"><a id="caption1" /> </p>. This effectively forces the ereader to display the object of reference.

EPUB CSS exporting issue

Today I came across an important issue in InDesign's CSS creation during EPUB export. It is best described here:
http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/2010/05/indesign-flubs-exporting-headers-to.html
But I will paraphrase... When a paragraph style is defined as part of the TOC, and therefore becomes one of the 'headers' on EPUB export, the 'margin' settings for that style (which come from the 'space before', 'space after', 'left indent', and 'right indent' settings in the paragraph style) are not correctly set. For example, instead of setting the margin as 1 em, InDesign will set it as 0.01 em (which has little or no effect on the appearance of the text).
This only occurs when a paragraph style is part of the TOC and thus becomes a header in the CSS file. If it is not a header, the conversion to margin settings in CSS seems to work fine.
I couldn't find anything about this on the forums, so I thought I should post it. It seems that right now, the only workaround is to manually edit the CSS file. I have been using Sigil to do this. I should add that I'm using InDesign CS5 on Snow Leopard - I don't know if the problem existed with CS4.

I am exporting a Pages document to Epub and Pages is compressing my jpg images. How do I keep the original jpg size during the export to epub process?

I am exporting a Pages document to Epub and Pages is compressing my jpg images (I think to 72 dpi from original 600 dpi).
How do I keep the original jpg size during the export to epub process?

We are still trying learn how to use Pages to build ePub documents with high resolution graphics that will expand clearly when they are tapped. Very large screen shots are my example here.

Pages 09 will not Export to ePub

I have Pages 09 version 4.1. I've written all my content and added all the pictures for each page of content for my eBook on Pages 09.
My understanding is that ePub is one of the main formats people want when they buy/read an eBook. For this reason I'd very much like to export my work on Pages to the ePub format.
When I open pages, go to file, export and click on ePub it says "Page layout documents cannot be exported to the ePub format." There are 4 other formats available: PDF, Word, RTF and Plain Text which appear to work.
Under Compatibility and sharing Apple writes " You can also save your Pages documents as RTF files or as plain text. Or export them as ePub or PDF files" apple.com/iwork/pages/
I've signed up at one of the top self publishing book and eBook services online but even their export tool isn't working with formatting my Pages 09 work to ePub.
Could anyone here share with me exactly what I need to do?
I really need to get this project finished as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Dave

Hi fruhulda, Thank you for attempting to explain this to me.
When I go to the the first link you gave # 7 says "To export your Pages document as an ePub document, choose File, Export and make sure ePub is selected as the export format."
From what I read on the page, I've done what needs to be done to export to ePub.
I'v simply created my work in Pages 09, I went to pages, chose a template, wrote content, added pics numbered pages ETC, saved it to documents then I open the pages document, What I made comes up and I go to file, then export and then click epub but when I click on epub, the only option is to choose another format or cancel, the next button goes away. (the next button doesn't actually go away but it becomes non-clickable)
When you say " The message you have got tells you that you have used the Page Layout template instead of the Word Processing one you need for creating an ePub document."
I'm not sure if you're saying I've done something wrong. If so, where did I go wrong? Was I not supposed to use a template?
Thanks again,
Dave

Pages file doubles on export to .epub

When I export a Pages document to .epub, the file size doubles. I have a lot of .png images, and I have compressed them, but it still goes from a 12MB Pages file to a 24MB .epub file. What is happening and how do I keep my file to under 20 MB?

Any ideas on how to get my images down to the size to which they were compressed? Or does Stuffit (and Pages) somehow know what the original file size was and are using that to calculate the size of the images?
Sounds like you are being caught up too much in a numbers game here. The only true measure is the final amount of space taken up by the ePUB package which is, essentially, just a zipped package of files that are basically text and images.
Applications and utilities tend to differ in how they report a file's size. For instance, my cover JPEG files are 1.39 MBs (the decompressed file size) according to one application, 472 KBs of disk space (data + header + container with or without empty space allocation) according to the OS Finder, but only contains about 351 KBs (compressed data) according to yet another application--all readings for the same file as stored in the Pages package. When converted to a PNG at 2/3 the original dimensions (or 4/9 the surface area) file and embedded in the ePUB export, the same applications/utilities now report file sizes of 606 KBs, 496 KBs, and 493 KBs respectively. However, now we are comparing apples and oranges since we have added the complication of changing the compression format from JPEG (which most applications allow you to easily vary the amount of compression drastically) to PNG (which none of my normal applications allow me the vary the compression).
My basic recommendation is to use high quality/low compression images in the project and simply let things fall as they may during the export process. Of course, since I sometimes include movies in my ePUBs, my exports sometimes tend to be somewhat large. If you cannot bare to live with the file sizes as converted/exported by Pages, and, if you have the capability to actually create PNG files with a variable compression ratio, then, by all mens, simply replace the Pages generated files in the expanded ePUB folder with your own files having the exact same names and extensions, re-ZIP the folder, and change the file extension back to ".epub" to use your manually modified media/content.

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.

Image quality in ePub exports from Pages

Something changed in ePub exports of images recently, or in iBooks' rendering of them. Now they are fuzzy when double-tapped and enlarged. Originally (at beginning of iBooks) they popped up looking quite crisp.
Oddly, I can still get crisp images with double-tap if I export an ePub file from Scrivener, and import it into iBooks—using the same images I'm used in Pages.
Does this make any sense? Have others noticed this change in image quality?

Just for the sake of clearness - InDesign 5.0 = InDesign CS3
InDesign CS5 = InDesign 7.0.x
I suppose you are talking about InDesign CS5 and not something older.

Pages ePub export - Can I use TOC for page breaks?

I want to export a Pages file to ePub. Things work *almost* perfectly, except the page breaks disappear.
I've read a few other threads, such as this one, that say that Pages uses the *first* style from the TOC to make page breaks. That doesn't work great for me, since I have multiple styles in my TOC that should all be page breaks.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3722549?start=0&tstart=0
Is there any way to force pages to use multiple styles from the TOC as page breaks, or will I have to enter them manually? Thanks.
**Edit:** I noticed that the chapters are actually occurring correctly. So I guess what I want is to force the epub to start each chapter on a new page. Is that possible?

Fair enough.
I used the word "chapter" because that's what the epub document calls them, but section is a better word. Some headings look like this
Test 29
Section I - Logical Reasoning
Test 30
Section II - Reading Comprehsion
Passage I - Wine
Test 32
Section I - Reading Comprehension
Passage I - Wine
Sometimes the Test # should appear in the TOC ( if it's the first section from that test) and other times it shouldn't. As things stand, I had to remove the Test # from the headings where the Test # doesn't appear in the TOC. Because a new section starts from the line styled to appear in the TOC, I was getting:
"Test 30
<section/chapter break>
Section II - Reading Comprehension"
