Problem with epub export of thumbnail

I want to use a .jpg image file as the cover in an epub export, but choosing this file in the epub export dialogue doesn't work: the exported epub file always puts a .png file of the title page in the thumbnails folder. I thought that replacing this file with a .png file of the cover would do the trick, but I still get the title page thumbnail in Digital Editions. What's the trick?

Upfront disclosure: Like Steve, I'm just getting into Epub but I've been using HTML/CSS for years in building websites so it's been a pretty easy move for me.
What I've found (through the previously mentioned Liz Castro's excellent blog) is that at least for iBooks you're better off creating the cover image at 600x860 pixels. That will avoid any scaling at all at least in using CS5.5.
Try that and let us know if it works.
Finally, I'm not sure you can have an Epub without a cover. In iBooks you'll only see it if you go to the TOC and have the tablet in landscape orientation.

Problem with ePub export on InDesign CC

Hello,
I've installed the lastest version of InDesign CC on my Mac and it works great. But in my PC the animations, buttons and functions for ePub don't work. I've tried to unistall a hundred times and still not working, even in the ePub preview. It is a problem in the instalation or in my computer? Because everything seems to work, but when I export the buttons don't have functions..
Thanks,
Marcelo

Already being discussed. Locking this thread.

Many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) in CR Xi

Hi,
I have listed many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) function of CR Xi.
These problems are related to this export format only (meaning everything works fine in the Viewer or in the 'Export to PDF')...
- Multi-columns layout do not export as Multi-column (export only a one column);
- Numeric values with parenthesis for negative values or with a fix currency sign at the leftmost position are not exported correctly;
- Fields having a Suppress formula which is "WhilePrintingRecords" do not appears when exported;
- Fields with 'Suppress double value' checked are not always suppressed when exported to Text.
- 'Keep Group Together' flag is not working.
- 'Reset Page Number After' simply does not works when exported to text;
- 'Keep object together' on TextBox/Section is not working.
- Whenever a group is ending on the last line of a page, the the following page as the same Group header as the previous group with no records until the page is filled, then the PageBreak and PageHeader is missing but the records of the following group appears.
I would like to know what is the status of the 'Export to Text' function (is it a deprecated function not supported anymore???).
If still supported, when will these bugs be fixed???
Thanks

Hi Rene
Export to Text is supported till date. Crystal Reports 2008 also supports this with Keep together working however when I tried with format with multiple columns, it didnot show up in the exported text file.

IPhoto problem with email, export, editing...

Had my iMac upgraded with a new harddrive and Lion at my authorized retailer & service center. All has been good but did not use iPhoto much after the upgrade, but all seemed to be good.
Recently photographed a family occasion and now I experience the following problems;
1. After successful import I edit the pictures which leads to numerous crashes, seemingly randomly, but most frequently when jumping from editing one picture to the next.
2. Share, Email does not work, only a few of the selected pictures are sent, sometimes with a low resolution thumbnail instead of the desired picture. The selection process works normally, but when the mail has been formatted only a few or none picture are inserted, in any of the templates, including classic. The number of selcted photos and their size are reported normal, they just don't show up in the mail itself
3. Resorting to export to a folder, all of the pictures are exported, however not always with intact changes/edits???
I have previously never had any major problems with iPhoto up until this version, and am seriously considering ditching it after all the wasted time.
Any suggestions how to attack this problem in iPhoto 11 & 10.7 Lion? (I am unable to find any plist etc like in 10.6 and earlier)
Thanks for any hints and/or tips...

Hi Larry,
thanks for your quick reply...
The harddrive and all user data was transferred by the authorized service center. I able to see and use all the old pictures, so I think (and hope) my pictures were correctly transferred.
After reading this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3087683?start=45&tstart=0
and done minor edits to ALL the NEW (of today) pictures I want, it seems to file, export correctly. I did some additional minor adjustments (exposure, saturation, sharpness, etc) and behold, the export worked ok, including edits like crops, straightenings, etc, that were omitted without the "adjustments"...
It feels like some proper bugs to me, and will probably look for another more robust and flexible software to do my edits...
Recommendations?
Using Picasa sometimes, but read somewhere they use a hack to get to the iPhoto pictures & database, not sure I like that... Maybe I should go Aperture...???

Problems with epub 3 and iBooks 2

Problems with fixed layout epub 3 and iBooks version 2
I am producing an epub 3 fixed layout ebook. My query is whether there is a known issue with epub 3 and the old version of iBooks - iBooks 2.
The epub has passed verification with epubcheck 3.0.1 and I have viewed the file on my iPad with iBooks 3.2 as well as on iBooks on my Mac, and also through the Chrome browser using Readium. In all cases the layout is fine. But when the file is downloaded onto an old iPad using iBooks 2, the layout is all mixed up. The iPad says that its operating system of OS.5 is up-to-date , and will not allow it to be updated, and thus it's impossible to update iBooks to versions 3.
So my question is whether this is a known issue with fixed layout epub 3 and versions 2 of iBooks, and if so whether there is a work around to allow fixed layout epub 3 to be read on iBooks2.

Follow-up query: (apple-ibooks-display-options) file needed in epub 3??
I tried adding the old (apple-ibooks-display-options) file to the META INF folder, as you used to for fixed layout epub 2, and the file displayed perfectly on the older version of iBooks, as well as on the latest iBooks. This leads me to ask whether you still need to add the 'apple-ibooks-display-options' file to epub 3, to make them readable on old versions of iBooks, or whether this indicates that some of the settings stating this is pre-paginated etc. are not entered correctly in the content.opf file, but I have checked this and I don't think so.
Any advice on this would be very welcome.

Problem with PDF export and embedded font (characters disappear)

Designer: Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2
Engine: CR4E 2.0 SP2 (runtime_12.2.203)
Hi there!
we found a problem in the pdf export. It seems like there would be a problem with the embedded fonts, the problem is as follows:
Rpt file with, for example only a text box which contains the german string " Änderungs Schlüssel ".
Export the Rpt file with CR4E to a pdf file.
When we open the pdf file in Adope Reader 8, the text appears to be correct,
but if we print the PDF file from the Adope Reader, the text changes to " nderungs Schl sselu201C,
here we are missing ther german umlaute.
When we open the file for example with an alternative PDF reader like Foxit Reader, there they are also missing.
After i found some posts here in the forum, there are people facing the same problem, since i couldn't find a solution in the forum, we build a little workaround for it that works for us.
For all of you that have the same problem here the workaround:
We used the IText JAVA library, this jar can can help as to fix the PDF file so the text is displayed correctly.
Here the code:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
doc.open("C:\XY.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
//... database logon,.....
InputStream inputStream = doc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
inputStream = PDFHealer.heal(inputStream);
//... write the stream some where

The helper class using IText:
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfImportedPage;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
public class PDFHealer
 public static InputStream heal(InputStream in) throws DocumentException, IOException
 try
 ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(in);
 // we retrieve the total number of pages
 int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
 // step 1: creation of a document-object
 Document document = new Document();
 // step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
 PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, out);
 // step 3: we open the document
 document.open();
 // step 4: we add content
 PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
 int i = 0;
 while( i < n )
 document.newPage();
 i++;
 PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
 cb.addTemplate(page1, 0, 0);
 // step 5: we close the document
 document.close();
 ByteArrayInputStream ret = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());
 out.close();
 return ret;
 finally
 in.close();

Indesign CS5 - Problems with PDF-Export

Hello community,
we do have a problem with Indesign CS5 and exporting data into PDF. It is about that logo on that white surface, which doesnt come along with the rest after the pdf-export. What we did was: We created that white surface in Indesign itself, put an effect on it with the Indesign effect gallery and then imported the logo in the surface ... the logo itself is .psd data. So, if we export it into pdf like that, it is just dissapeared. Does anyone have had a similar problem and what can be done about it?
By the way ... if you put, for example, a simple backgroundshadow on a picture ... done also with the Indesign effect gallery, then you get just a white surface instead of the shadow, after the export into pdf. It does maybe correlate with the other problem ... not sure. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help and kind regards ...

I would create the entire logo, including the white background, in Illustrator, save as PDF and place that in ID.

Thanks and Regards
Zaheer

Zaheer,
<output_dir> - (Required) Output directory where the exported xml file structure is to be stored. You may set this to any directory, however, we recommend that you export your packages or XML files to $APPL_TOP/personalizations.
If you run the export tool for the package
/oracle/apps/ak/dem/webui/customizations/site/0/REQORDERSTATUSPAGE and specify -rootdir
$APPL_TOP/personalizations, the xml file is saved as
$APPL_TOP/personalizations/oracle/apps/ak/dem/webui/customizations/site/0/REQORDERSTATUS PAGE.xml.
In your case define rootdir as rootdir "/oracle/apps/ego/item/eu/webui ".
Thanks

SSRS 2012 problem with excel export

Hello
I updated SSRS 2005 up to SSRS 2012. When I exported report in excel (xlsx) I got following warning :
"We found a problem with some conent in 'filnename.xlsx'.Do you want to try to recover as much as we can? if you trust the source of this workbook,click yes"
After Pressing Yes Button
"REpaired Recors: Cell information from .xl.worksheets.sheet1.xml port"
15
0.00000000000000000000 this is in string format instead decimal
2
0.00000000000000000000
This heppens if i have decimal(38.20) variable in table and record value is 0.
To avoid this problem i must change report and use this expression
=IIF(Fields!SomeValue.Value = 0, 0, Fields! SomeValue.Value)
for value in report, but this is not sulution for me because we have more then hundred reports.
Is any other solution?

Hi LashaGurgenidze,
The issue seems to be related to the Excel 2010 or the Excel 2007-2010 rendering extension in SSRS 2012. If possible, I suggest that you keep the Office 2010 and the SQL Server 2012 up to date, and check the issue again.
In order to solve the issue, we can enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension in SSRS 2012, and use this render when exporting to Excel. We can modify the EXCEL render extension in the rsreportserver.config file as follows:
<Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering"/>
Then, the Excel 2003 render extension will be available in the Export drop-down list.
By default, the file is located in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer. Before we modify it please backup the rsreportserver.config file.

Problems with Importing / Exporting Keywords and Meta Datas

Hi to all!
I recently upgraded to Aperture 3 and upgraded my referenced library.
Today I opened the Keyword HUD and noticed some keywords splattered in my list, which seem to be any older ones, since the new numbering indicated that they are not applied to any pictures.
So I deleted them.
Than I noticed the <Imported Keywords> folder, opened it, and it contained also a large number of previous keywords. Also they seemed not to be in use, so I also removed them.
Than I locked the Keyword HUD.
Now my question: If I export a version, with the option for 'include metadata' ticked, and edit the version than in Photoshop, and after it, import it back into the Aperture library I do have the problem.
I have tried 'Import Meta Datas' and and click 'Append'. Than it is recognizing the former keywords, which I would appreciate, but not as 'Imported Keywords'.
If I would open the file w/ the External Editor and return it back, I guess I would not have this problem. Usually I do open the referenced RAW file, and import than the edited version back into Aperture. Keywords are stored in the Library, so I would not avail the former given keywords than, is that right?
By the way are the keywords part of Meta Datas or not?
Are there any workarounds?
And had other people also problems with their keyword list after upgrading?
Thank for any ideas / infos!

Problem with column export

Hi ,
I have a column in a report that I want to include in the csv export.
The column has a "Column Link" pointing to some other page in the application.
I tried setting field "Include In Export" to "Yes" and applying the changes. But when I see the column again, this field shows "No". I have tried this many times but every time, this field gets reset to "No". I am not able to export this column to csv export file.
Is there any problem with exporting columns with "Column Link"?
~Ketan

That problem is being debated, see: Include in Export does not work in APEX 3.1 .

Problem with video export for Pro Tools

I hired a re-recording mixer to mix my short film in 5.1. I successfully exported an OMF, and then set to making a video per his requirements: h264, 720pHD, High Quality.
Initially I chose an h264 YouTube 720p 23.976 preset. The re-recording mixer told me although it would open on his desktop in a quicktime player, he couldn't get it to load into Pro Tools. So, I next created another video with the h264 HD 720p 23.976 preset. And again, he couldn't get it to load.
As the export is quite long, I decided to re-compress the file in Apple Compressor. And here's the weird thing. The exported HD 720p 23.976 video wouldn't even load in compressor (although it plays fine in Quicktime).
Finally I used an Apple TV preset and exported again. 720p, 23.976. And this time, the video loaded both in Pro Tools and would open in Apple Compressor.
What don't I understand? Why the difference between h264 outputs? What would the ideal "preset" be?

I have always found that a simple .dv file is the most user friendly in a ProTools Suite.
I use these in conjunction with OMF exports of audio and it works flawlessly.
I am on a PC so not sure how that impacts in your Mac workflow.

Cache problem with "videos" viewed by thumbnail ?

Hello,
When I add video clips to my iTunes library, I have to crite the name of the author, the album... but sometimes display in the video view seems not to refresh : the clip are still listed without albums. I added clips 4 days ago, it refreshed immediately. I added clips three days ago, it still has not refreshed. I added clips two days ago, it took one day to refresh.
I tried changing view, changing album name, nothing work.

This is due to a bug in Flash Player 9.0.115.0, released on
12/3/07.
Techsmith, the company that produces Camtasia, reported the
problem to Adobe a few months ago, but Adobe has not released an
update for it. Adobe suggested downgrading to an older version of
Flash Player, but older versions of Flash Player have security
vulnerabilities that could result in your computer being attacked.
Incidentally, Player 9.0.115.0 is classified as a "critical update"
by Adobe.
Techsmith has released a patcher to fix affected Camtasia
videos, but the fix must be applied to the files on the server (all
of the Camtasia files) and can't be used by viewers. The problem
with Player 9.0.115.0 affects more than just Camtasia videos, of
course.
Until a newer version of Flash Player is released, you
probably just need to live with it unless you're willing to risk
the security holes in older Player versions. We're coming up on
three months since Player 9.0.115.0 was released. Given the long
delay in fixing the problem, and since Techsmith claims that Adobe
has made fixing the problem a high priority, it's possible Adobe's
engineers can't find a fix. Only time will tell.
For more information, search this forum for "Flash Player
& Camtasia Studio", "Player 9.0.115.0 MP3 issues", and "flash
player audio chirps and video delays". For confirmation of the
security flaws, search the web for "apsb07-20".

Problem with image export to epub when I work with ID cs6 (update)

I creat a document and I select the page size as ipad，and later I export it into epub，put it my ipad（ibooks）
but the problem comes，the image size is not right in my ipad
for example，i set image width as 50%，and it looks good in adobe digital edition，it‘s 50% width.
but it's 100%(or some percent) in ipad(ibooks)
i delete the cs6 version and install cs5.5, recreat a document,the problem has gone.
but when i open the documnet with cs6,the problem comes again.
please fix the bug.Thanks a lot.
I‘ve found what’s wrong with cs6
in the xhtml file，cs6 describe the image as this
<img alt="A1.jpg" class="frame-1" src="../Images/A1_opt.jpeg" /> 
but in cs5.5，it‘s this
<img alt="A1.jpg" class="frame-1" src="../Images/A1_opt.jpeg" width="50%" />
so，we can find cs6 missed the style width="50%"
that’s why the image dose not be the size I've set when I see it in my ipad
It's a unforgiven mistake. so can anybody report to Adobe to fix it??!!

IBook video playback problem in ePub exported from Pages 09

I've added several videos (5) to my Pages 09 document that I'm using to export an ePub for an iBook. I've adjusted each to show a unique poster frame using the Inspector. After export and sync to my iPad and iPhone, the video placeholders with their poster frames display fine. However, when I tap any of the videos to play, they all play the content of the first video.
For example, these are the five videos in the order they appear throughout the book (Pages document):
1.) How to shoot
2.) How to change a lens
3.) How to import image files into Aperture
4.) How to apply image adjustments to a photo
5.) How to apply brush adjustments to a photo
Each of these look like the correct video because the poster frame shows the correct content. But when I tap to any of the five, the video that plays is the first, How To Shoot.
I've tried different methods of adding the videos (dragging, using the Media panel, using Insert from the menu), different video file types (.m4v - which I used in my multitouch textbook with iBooks Author), .mov), different dimensions on the pages, spreading the videos out over several chapters (to avoid any size limits as there are with images), using poster frames and not using poster frames, etc. Nothing seems to work.
What's more frustrating is I've spent the better part of the day searching to web, only to find I seem to be the only one experiencing this problem.
I didn't know if anyone else has experienced this problem - and if so, what they did to correct it.
Thanks for any help.
MacBook Pro 2009
OS X 10.7.4
Pages 09 4.2 from Apple App Store
iBooks 2 (2.1.1)
iOS 5.1.1 (iPhone 4, iPad 2)

Without having created any epub documents I still will try to answer. Two things hits me and they are Size of video and naming of the videos.
For images the size can't be more than 11 Mb in one chapter, that might be the same for videos.
Make sure you have different names on the videos.
