Preserve "exactly" line spacing in epub output.

In my Pages document, there are many inline equations (from Mathtype). I like having the line spacing set to "exactly" so the line spacing remains constant, even between lines with equations that 'overlap' the lines around it.
Is there a way to preserve this option when I export my Pages document to Epub? Right now, the line spacing is single-spaced in the Epub output.

No, if you use the ePub document model. Yes, if you mix document models.
ePub is a document markup model where you are expected to encode character information in ISO10646/Unicode and encode the logical organisation (structure) the define the parts of your document. However, ePub has no support for font embedding and without font embedding it is meaningless to talk of fixed line length, fixed line spacing, and fixed glyph spacing and sizing.
If you set up your equations in whatever originating application you prefer and save into a fixed geometry format such as Adobe PDF, then the fixed geometry file can be handled like a graphic in ePub, HTML and other document markup models. Be aware that Adobe PDF encodes the glyphs but not the characters whereas ePub and HTML encode the characters but not the glyphs which may impact search support, depending on what you are trying to do. Also, check you mathematical fonts in the Apple Character Palette to be certain that the glyphs map to meaningful characters in ISO10646/Unicode so that the glyph identifiers can be used to synthesise character semantics. A whole lot of mathematical fonts are constructed to draw mathematical glyphs from say English characters so that there is no relationship at all between information processing and image presentation. In this respect, OpenType is simply a rebranding of TrueType whereby system software displays an OpenType icon if a TrueType font file has the DSIG table - there is no guarantee whatsoever that the relationship of characters to glyphs is of this world (lots and lots of laughs to Heidelberg and its management of the Linotype Library here). See below from the ePub Specification.

3.4: Embedded Fonts
To provide authors with control over the appearance of the text, OPS supports the CSS2 font-face at-rule (@font-face). See section 15.3.1 of the CSS2 Recommendation. The following font descriptors must be supported:
font-family
font-style
font-variant
font-weight
font-size
src
For portability, authors must not use any other descriptors. Font files must carry all information needed for rendering Unicode characters. Fonts must not provide mappings for Unicode characters that would change the semantics of the text (e.g. mapping the letter "A" to a biohazard symbol). Content creators must not assume that any particular font format is supported. Fonts could be included in multiple formats by using a list of files for the src descriptor; the first supported format should be used. At least one file in OpenType format should always be included in the list. It is advisable for a Reading System to support the OpenType font format, but this is not a conformance requirement; a reading system may support no embedded font formats at all. Content creators should use comma-separated lists for font-family properties to specify fallback font choices.
Content creators must always honor usage restrictions that are encoded in OpenType fonts (and many other font formats). Fonts that are marked "no embedding" must not be included in OPS Publications.
Any font files included in an OPS Publication must be included in the OPF manifest with appropriate media type (application/vnd.ms-opentype for OpenType fonts).

  • Robohelp 10 output line spacing for numbered lists is off

    I wondered if you have had this situation occur with your output from Robohelp 10.
    I created my help system and CSS using Robohelp 10. My CSS contains a numbered list style and an alpha list style, both having line spacing of 3pt before and 3pt after. Looks great in Robohelp WYSIWYG, but the generated output (in IE and Chrome) looks bad. The numbered list line has way too much line spacing after (the next style is a non-numbered list style) and the alpha list has way too little line spacing.
    I tried playing around with changing the line spacing but it does not change the output!
    Thought I'd reach out to see if you have experienced this issue and the most expedient way to resolve.
    Here is an example of HTML tags in Robohelp:
    numbered list
    <?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-1ListNumber" start="1" style="list-style: rh-list;
      list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="1ListNumber">instruction text.</p><?rh-list_end ?>
    alpha list
    <?rh-list_start level="1" an="1" class="rl-p-Alpha" style="list-style: rh-list;
      list-style: rh-list;" ?><p class="Alpha">Instruction text.</p><?rh-list_end ?>
    thanks much

    If you create a single topic project showing this problem and send it to me as directed on the Contact page of my site, I will take a look.

  • Permanently save line spacing in a multi-line text field

    Me: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Windows Vista
    (I think the people who will be using the form have Reader 7 on Windows)
    I work in a doctors' clinic, and we use phone message sheets to document conversations between the patients/us/nurses/doctors, and I scanned the form and made it into a fillable PDF for our secretaries to fill out more quickly. The "message" area has pre-printed lines on it, and the multi-line text field I placed there needs to match up to the lines. I used the Rich Text Formatting options to set it to "Exactly 24 Points," but I can't get it to KEEP the formatting permanently. The only way I could get it to save the formatting in that field was to put a space in it and then save it, and then give that to the 2 phone secretaries. It works perfectly the first time, but instead of just closing/re-opening the file to start a new message, one of the secretaries highlights everything in the "message" field and deletes it... which deletes the line spacing formatting. I've told her
    b numerous
    times to leave that starting space in the field, but she "forgets" so all of her messages look messed up. So is there a way to force that line spacing
    b PERMANENTLY
    ???? Here's a shrunken screenshot of the field -- I wish I could just erase the lines altogether so the spacing wouldn't matter, but the secretaries type/print the message out, then the nurses/docs write on the page with pen so the lines have to stay. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=notepreviewph8.jpg
    Thanks!

    You can set the font size of the text. Then play with the underlines in the original document to match the needs of the font that is used. Print to a new PDF and then use replace pages to put the new page into the form without changing the form fields. I was able to do this with a word processing document by adding underlining in the document with 12 pt and setting the font to 12 pt in the text field. You can play with the font, the border of the field, and the underlining in the original document to get the desired result. Is this optimal, probably not. However it does the job.

  • Best-practice for use of object styles to manage image text wrap issues when aiming at both print and EPUB output?

    I have a work-flow question about object styles, text-wrap, and preparing a long document with lots of images for dual print/EPUB output in InDesign CC 2014.
    I am sort of experienced with InDesign but new to EPUB export. I have hundreds of pages and hundreds of images so I'd like to make my EPUB learning curve, in particular, less painful.
    Let me talk you through what I'm planning and you tell me if it's stupid.
    It's kind of a storybook-look I'm going for. Single column of text (6" by 9" page) with lots of small-to-medium images on the page (one or two images per page), and the text flowing around, sometimes right, sometimes left. Sometimes around the bounding box, sometimes following the edges of the images. So in each case I'm looking to tweak image size and placement and wrap settings so that the image is as close to the relevant text as possible and the layout isn't all wonky. Lovely print page the goal. Lots of fussy trade-offs and deciding what looks best. Inevitably, this will entail local overrides of paragraph styles. So what I want to do, I guess, is get the images as closely placed as possible, before I do any of that overriding. Then I divide my production line.
    1) I set aside the uniformly-styled doc for later EPUB export. (This is wise, right? Start for EPUB export with a doc with pristine styles?)
    2) With the EPUB-bound version set aside, I finish preparing the print side, making all my little tweaks. So many pages, so many images. So many little nudges. If I go back and nudge something at the beginning everything shifts a little. It's broken up into lots of separate stories, but still ... there is no way to make this non-tedious. But what is best practice? I'm basically just doing it by hand, eyeballing it and dropping an inline anchor to some close bit of text in case of some storm, i.e. if there's a major text change my image will still be almost where it belongs. Try to get the early bits right so that I don't have to go back and change them and then mess up stuff later. Object styles don't really help me with that. Do they? I haven't found a good use for them at this stage (Obviously if I had to draw a pink line around each image, or whatever, I'd use object styles for that.)
    Now let me shift back to EPUB. Clearly I need object styles to prepare for export. I'm planning to make a left float style and a right float style and a couple of others for other cases. And I'm basically going to go through the whole doc selecting each image and styling it in whatever way seems likeliest. At this point I will change the inline anchors to above line or custom, since I'm told EPUB doesn't like the inline ones.
    I guess maybe it comes down to this. I realize I have to use object styles for images for EPUB, but for print, manual placement - to make it look just right - and an inline anchor seems best? I sort of feel like if I'm going to bother to use object styles for EPUB I should also use them for print, but maybe that's just not necessary? It feels inefficient to make so many inline anchors and then trade them for a custom thing just for EPUB. But two different outputs means two different workflows. Sometimes you just have to do it twice.
    Does this make sense? What am I missing, before I waste dozens of hours doing it wrong?

    I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum for best results.

  • AutoSize not working properly in TextField when using non-zero line spacing

    When using non-zero line spacing, the autoSize property is not functioning as expected, causing text fields to scroll that shouldn't.  Also, when using device fonts, the sizes of the TextFields are wrong in the Flash IDE.
    I have a TextField whose height is supposed to be dynamic, depending the width of the TextField.  wordWrap is true, the text is left aligned, and the autoSize value is flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT.
    When the TextField's width is adjusted, the height increases or decreases as expected, but when I scroll the mouse wheel over the TextField, it allows a single line to scroll out of view.  This should not be happening.  The autoSize property should ensure the TextField is large enough to neither require nor allow scrolling.
    Has anyone else encountered this issue or know how to fix it?
    Update: Been a problem since at least 2006! > http://blog.nthsense.net/?p=46
    http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?288955-Disabling-textfield-scrolling   Bug is caused by using a line height ("line spacing" in Flash) larger than zero, for example 1.0pt.  It looks like when I reduce the line spacing of the text field to zero, the issue goes away.  There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with how autoSize is calculating the required height of the text (i.e. it is exactly textHeight + 4 pixel gutter, and drawing the rectangle (2,2,textWidth,textHeight) aligns visually with the text), so it must have to do with how the TextField is deciding whether it needs to scroll or not, and that separate calculation is being thrown off by the non-zero line spacing.  The additional non-zero spacing at the end of the last line could be making the TextField think it needs to scroll, even though it's hight is sufficient at "textHeight + 4".  Apparently the problem manifests when using a non-zero leading value as well.
    In fact, it has to be related to the leading value exactly, since the following code stops the textfield from scrolling.
    //body is TextField
    var tlm:TextLineMetrics = body.getLineMetrics(body.numLines - 1);
    trace(tlm.leading); //traces "1" here.  traces zero when line spacing is zero, and traces larger values with larger line spacing values
    body.autoSize = flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize.NONE; //turn off autosize so the height can be set manually
    body.height += tlm.leading; //increase height of textfield by leading value of last line to cause scrolling to be turned off.
    Honestly, this is pretty unacceptable bug.  First of all, scrolling should not be sensitive to trailing line spacing, because autoSize and textHeight do not include it. It need to be consistent, and I think textHeight and autoSize setting height = textHeight + 4 is correct.  Vertical scrolling should use textHeight as it's guage for whether scrolling is necessary, but instead, it's obviously involving the leading values of the last line.  At the very least, vertical scrolling should simply be disabled when autoSize is turned on and wordWrap is true, because the TextField should be big enough to fit all the text.  The workaround of manually adjusting the height is also no good, since turning autoSize back on will immediately change the size back and trigger scrolling again.  I also shouldn't have to set line spacing to zero just to use the autoSize feature, since the scrolling calculations are wrong in this way.

    No, lol.  Luckly, I replace most of my TextFields on the display list with my subclass TextFieldEx.  I just call a clone method that accepts a TextField and returns a TextFieldEx with identical properties.
    I corrected the problem via modifying the subclass to behave differently when autoSize is not NONE and wordWrap is true.  Under those conditions, the maxScrollV and scrollV property values are fixed at 1, and the class listens for its own SCROLL event and sets scrollV to 1 when it occurs.  That allows me to leave everything else alone, including text selection, and use whatever line spacing I want.
    The modification seems to work fine so far.
    For anyone interested in doing something similar, here is a clone method that will copy a TextField.
    public static function clone( t:TextField ):TextFieldEx
                                  var te:TextFieldEx = create( "", t.width, t.type, t.multiline, t.wordWrap, t.selectable, t.embedFonts, t.defaultTextFormat );

  • How can I control the line spacing in TLF

    Hello,
    Is it possible to control the line spacing in TLF?
    For example I might have text lines with font size of 12 (i.e. constant text height) but I would like to be able to change the space between the lines programatically.
    Playing with the lineHeight property is not the best approach because in case there are images embedded in the text once lineHeight is set then the image is cut if it is higher than the line height. I really need to control the space between lines but not the lines' height.
    Thanks

    I would like to achieve the following behavior: the gap between all text lines to be always X pixels.
    My understanding how TLF handles this (please correct me if I am wrong) is that there is no gap between TextLines but one could achieve similar behavior by playing with lineHeigh. You could set it to a percentage and then this would introduce visual gap between text lines however in cases when a text line contains elements with different height (like the case with images or spans with different fontSize) then the gap will differ because it is calculated as a percentage of the overall fontSize. I don't want to have different gaps in these cases. I would like to have always (let's say) 10 pixels between each text line.
    What I need is very similar to the "verticalGap" style available in the VBox container. I would like to specify the exact gap between each text line in exactly the same way.
    Using "lineHeight" is not good because it depends on the height of the text/images and this leads to different gaps when I have mixture of elements with different heights. The way I set the gap should not be dependent on the height of the elements.

  • SAPSCRIPT to Web(pdf) has different line spacing than in SAP?

    When we issue to output the order in SAP it looks fine. When we open it in the web, using PDF, the lines are spaced differently.
    We have never had an issue before, but now we added a lot of text to a final page of the sapscript.
    Any suggestion how to adjust the PDF line spacing for output via our SAP Function Modules that create OTF to PDF?
      Thanks,

    Hi,
    The SAPscript must generate an OTF output and then you convert the OTF into PDF format.
    There are 2 possibilities :
    1.Without generating any spool :
    2.When calling OPEN_FORM function module, export parameter OPTIONS-TDGETOTF = 'X', and when calling CLOSE_FORM function module, use returned parameter OTFDATA
    call CONVERT_OTF function module to convert the OTF to PDF. Returned parameters are BIN_FILE (the PDF binary) and BIN_FILESIZE (the length of the PDF binary). See below how to save a PDF binary to a file.
    If an OTF spool has been generated, you may convert it using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF function module. Returned parameters are PDF table (the PDF binary) and PDF_BYTECOUNT (the length of the PDF binary).
    Thanks

  • Adobe Form, Line Spacing of Paragraphs

    Dear colleagues.
    I have an Adobe Form (created by transaction SFP in
    an ERP 6.0 system, using Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1).
    This form contains a simple table to display some text in the form.
    The table has just one column for strings (type Text field, field
    format Plain Text only, value type Read Only).
    It works fine. However I would like to reduce the spacing of the text
    lines in the table.
    Would you please tell me how this can be done?
    (I tried the following, but it was NOT successful: I opened palette
    "Paragraph". Under "Spacing", the value of "Above:" and "Below:" was
    already 0pt. So I changed the option of "Line Spacing:" from "Single"
    to "Exactly" and assigned to "At:" a smaller value, e.g. 5pt.
    Then I tested my modified form, and I was very surprised: The
    spacing of the text lines did not change, but the width of the text
    lines was reduced! All letters were truncated: The above and below
    part of the letters disappear suddenly.)
    Would you please give me some hint?
    Best regards,
    Holger

    Hello Holger,
    could you please clarify that you have a table with one column and in each row you have some multi line text and you would like to reduce the distance between the lines or you have one line per row and wish to reduce the distance between the text in each row?
    --- Row 1 -----
    text line 1  
    <space>
    text line 2
    --- Row 2 -----
    text line 1
    <space>
    text line 2
    OR

  • Word doc import/export and line spacing differences with Pages '09

    When I save or open a Word .doc, the default line spacing differences messes up the document formatting, the document ends up being more pages in Pages than when I open in Word:Mac.
    One work around I learned about on this forum is to set the line spacing to "exact" in Pages. This is okay, except many Word documents have subtle line spacing before or after paragraphs and/or different size fonts in the document that affects line spacing. Setting Pages line spacing to exact makes a mess of these documents.
    Why can't Apple build a proper line spacing function into Pages so it is more compatible with Word? If they are touting compatibility, they need to make a disclaimer in their advertising as only simple documents seem to work without issues.
    Is there a better work around available?
    Thanks.
    Bud

    Bud,
    It seems that there is incompatibility in the before and after spacing (Ctrl + 0 in Word for Windows adds 12 points, if I remember correctly).
    Since you mention a .doc file, it makes me think you have a Word 2003 or earlier format. I have a couple of suggestions:
    1. If you have access to Word 2007 or Word 2008 for Mac, try saving in .docx. Basically, a .docx is compliant with Office Open XML, the ECMA standard that is the basis for the document formats in Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac.
    [Note: The Office Open XML ECMA standard, or OOXML is a source of polemic since it was donated by Microsoft and competes with Open Document Format, or ODF. You can find more here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OfficeOpen_XML#Implementations_of_new_2008version
    and Microsoft has stated they'll support the newer standard and retrofit Office 2007. Let's hope they do the same for Office 2008 for Mac and that Apple picks up as well with an upgrade for Pages '09 or in Pages '10]
    2. If the above does not work, I would suggest reporting this to Apple. This would indicate a compatibility problem in Office Open XML compliance, which should be independent of Word itself. A way to support this claim would be to test it in another word processor that adds space before and after a paragraph and that supports OOXML, which I think would be too much I would not bother reporting it for a Word 2003 format because it is proprietary.
    Hope it helps.

  • Strange line spacing - space seems bigger every second line

    Hi,
    today I discoverd that pages 08 does something special with line spacing. Every second line in my three column layout with text frames seems to have a bigger space. Settings are checked ... can't find anything...
    I used a Myriad Pro, 10 pt
    An ideas? I can send a screenshot vie mail if wanted/needed.
    Cheers
    Stefan

    Sorry this reply is a bit late, but I was looking for a solution to this same problem myself.
    I got this fault also when using the previous version of Pages on Tiger, but it also occurs in Pages '08 as well and on Leopard.
    I have done some checking, and it's not Font. I have a booklet I make every month, and it usually has Times for body text throughout. Some text will have this weird spacing, other text will be normal. It only happens if I use anything other than 'Exactly' for line spacing. It doesn't seem to happen at all in a text box, but text directly on the page is random with this.
    It also translates to a hard copy too, so it's not just a display issue either.

  • CS6 Epub Output and Duplicating Images

    Situation: A book with a single image that is used repeatedly--once on every chapter opener. Call it, say, "ChapterOpenerImage.jpg". On epub output, each instance of the image seems to get its own file created and placed in the epub images folder: ChapterOpenerImage_fmt1.jpg, ChapterOpenerImage_fmt2.jpg, etc; and obviously each gets its own href on the chapter opener.
    May I ask why this is necessary, and if it can be overridden? I'd like to be able to drop a different version of "ChapterOpenerImage.jpg" into the epub images folder and have it update everywhere, without having to either duplicate it and rename it as many times as necessary, or without having to go into the code and use reg-ex searches to make all the hrefs uniform.
    Thanks for any help!

    This was actually an issue (bug?) that was introduced in CS6. If you unchecked "Preserve Appearance from Layout" on the Image tab of the Epub export dialog box in CS5.5 you would get one image that was linked multiple times. Now in CS6, unchecking that box doesn't seem to make a difference.
    I use Find & Replace in Dreamweaver or Text Wrangler's (free) Multi-File Search to find the grep expression ChapterOpenerImage_fmt\d*.jpg and replace it with ChapterOpenerImage.jpg.
    You will also need to clean up the content.opf file but they will all be together so it's easy to do that.
    Hope they fix it. I think they will since it was correct in CS5.5.

  • "Line Spacing" vs. leading

    How does "Line Spacing" in static or dynamic text fields

    looks good w/ Line Spacing set at 0, why is there no equivalent w/
    leading?

    To clarify... If the query row is omitted from the
    indexed/array notation, then isValid() and <cfparam />
    produce different results.
    In the attached code example below, the query row was omitted
    intentionally to illustrate.
    Two possible solutions are:
    1) Make isValid() throw an error (so that they both throw an
    error)
    2) Make <cfparam /> not throw an error (so that they
    both do not throw an error)
    I feel the behavior should be consistent. Does anyone feel
    otherwise? If the behavior should be consistent, then which
    solution, or other solution, is preferred?
    Let's discuss!
    Thanks,

  • I have "upgraded" from Pages 2.0.2 to Pages 5.5.3 and can no longer customize my line spacing. Does anyone know if there are more than 4 options for line spacing?

    Is it possible to customize line spacing in Pages 5.5.3? My previous Pages 2.0.2 allowed me to choose spacing in 0.1 increments, but as far as I can tell Pages 5.5.3 only offers four options. Very limiting for creative documents.

    Hi Margaret,
    Does this work for you?
    And 0.6
    Or 1.6
    Please call back if this does not help.

  • How can I change or reduce the line spacing to single in a "multiple lines of text" column in a list?

    We keep many logs in a simple list format. One of the columns requires a description using the "multiple lines of text" default column. Sometimes the person making the entry needs to complete about 20-30 lines of text. Users are requesting we reduce
    the amount of space advanced between lines to save space and be more concise. Is there a way to reduce the line spacing for the column entries to single spacing without code?

    We determined that the site column settings were incorrect for allowing single spacing, we changed the site column setting from "Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" to  "Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)"
    and it is now keeping the text in single spaced lines.
    <label for="onetidRichText">Specify the type of text to allow:</label> 
    <input id="onetidRichTextPlain" name="RichText" title="Plain text" type="radio" value="PLAIN" />
    <label for="onetidRichTextPlain">Plain text   </label>
    <input id="onetidRichTextCompatible" name="RichText" title="Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="COMPATIBLE" />
    <label for="onetidRichTextCompatible">Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)</label>
    <input id="onetidRichTextFullHtml" name="RichText" title="Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="FullHtml" />
    <label for="onetidRichTextFullHtml">Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)</label>

  • Line Spacing in text field.

    Hi,
    I have added many text fields to my pdf document. Some of them need following:
    1.
    Adjust the line spacing between two lines.
    2.
    Make the text "justified".
    I can not find any way to accomplish these things. Can anyone tell me how to do these things?
    Thanks,
    Vijay

    Geo,
    Are you talking about check box "Allow Rich Text Formatting" in the Text Field Properties dialog box? I have it checked.
    But still it does not give me ability to adjust line spacing or "justify"ing the text.
    Thanks,
    Vijay
