Stanza for ePub?

How come that I can open a PDF file in my email in iBook, but an ePub file can only be opened with Stanza?

True, I have plenty of ePub books in my iBooks. However, when I receive an ePub file in my email, I cannot open it in iBooks, only in Stanza. And I wonder why that is.

How do I import an index into Indesign for epub and keep the links live?

What is the best way to import a subject index (the indexer uses skyindex, and has an option to output index links to indesign para numbers), but he currently provides a word file for import into Indesign 5.5 with dead page numbers. We need to retain that for print publishing, but change the index numbers for epub, to links in both directions. Whats the best way to tackle this? I hope someone out there has done this!

Page numbers do not exist in epub.
Have a read through this:

Scrollable Frame solution for EPUB Fixed Layout

Hi,
I have found a solution (or, rather a hack) which allows us to create scrolling frames for EPUB Fixed Layouts.
You can find the exported EPUB, as well as my InDesign file on my Dropbox: EPUB scroll.
This solution has some weak points and has only been tested in iBooks on an iPad with iOS 8, but here's how it works:
Create two text frames (one as big as your text requires, and one which will be the container [tip: make the container a bit wider than the text frame])
Cut the big text frame, select the smaller container frame, and Edit->Paste into
Right click on the container, select Object Export Options, choose EPUB and HTML and enter "subchapter" as epub:type:
Open a text editor and create a new CSS file. For CSS code, see below
Export as Fixed layout EPUB. In the export dialog box, select the CSS tab and add the previously created CSS file
Done!
CSS code:
div[*|type = "subchapter"] {
position: relative;
div[*|type = "subchapter"] > div {
overflow: auto;
As you see, steps 1 and 2 are essentialy the same as for creating a scrollable frame folio overlay.
It’s not perfect, and this solution is just a proof-of-concept, but it should get you going.
An obvious problem is that we use basic HTML scrollbar, which is not being displayed in e-book readers such as iBooks on the iPad. Hence, the user has now idea how long the scrollable content stretches. This could probably be solved with a more complex, JS-based solution.
Also, the gradient feather at the bottom (which is intended to create a "fade-out effect) seems not to export well. This one should be easy to solve, placing another rectangle with a gradient in it. But I’m not sure if transparency exports well, and haven’t tested it.
Feel free to use, and improve, this hack!
Thanks,
/Jacob

Thank you Uwe,
I look and hold you aware of your solution in an environment EPUB

@Papo – then I would suggest not a scrollable frame, but an MSO you can click through showing the whole text.
1. Do some text frames the same size
2. Thread all the text frames to one story
3. Align the text frames
4. Make a MSO out of it:
The text frames are still threaded and text can easily flow between them.
5. Do some navigation buttons to control the MSO states:
"Go To First State", "Go To Next State", "Go To Previous State" etc.
Later you can change the text (add or remove, do different formatting) flowing in that story through the states.
A very flexible solution. Ok, it's not a scrollable frame, but something like that…

Why do InDesign CS 5.5 quit when i try to export for ePub?

Everytime i try to export my document for ePub, InDesign cs 5.5 quit. This is a book i made for print, but i would like to go forth and back from indesign to Adobe digital editions to make the changes that are needed end then use Dreamweaver for working with the CSS. But i can't seem to get an ePub out of the document! And I haven't got a clue what's stopping it for exporting...

I suspect that you ask this question in the wrong forum, you are in the Adobe Captivate forums, no publishing to epub. Perhaps you'll need the InDesign forum?

Export for epub missing in my Indesign CS5

I have just installed In Design CS as part of the Adobe design premium suite. My problem is, Export for epub menu option is not visible. Hence I'm unable to export any epub. How can I bring back this option. Please help.
Refer the attached screengrab.

Did you check your "Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/Scripts" directory for additional directories "XHTML For Digital Editions" and "Export as XHTML"?
Be aware that both subdirectories "Resources" and "startup scripts" should be present with a bunch of additional scripts.

Designing for Epub/mobi

I am not an indesign user, but a developer trying to find information on how to best design for multiple formats. We have a magazine that is currently in print and looking to go digital.
We can export to .pdf and it looks good and can read this on the iPad, but for other ereaders/tablets the epub and mobi formats are ideal.
When using calibre or a direct export from indesign, the layout is horrible. This is understandable as epub and mobi formats have to adapt to screen sizes. What is the best way to design an image heavy magainze for digital?

How much do you want to spend?
I don’t mean to sound glib but as you’ve already noted, this isn’t a job for epub which lends itself far more toward books than rich layouts in magazines.
For that, there are various solutions including Adobe’s Digital Publishing Suite tools.
The cost for the tools is zero but the publishing costs can be pretty steep. Single, one-off apps are only a one time fee of $395 but if you want to go with a subscription model you’ll be looking at $500/month + $0.22 per download and Apple’s 30% commission.

Help with numbering lists in Indesign CS5.5 for epub file

I am working with a book in Indesign CS5.5 to export it as an epub file. I have been working on formatting the text and I have run into a small problem. Throughout the book there are multiple lists within the texts that need to be numbered. Each list, however, must start over at number 1 and not be continued on from the previous list. The lists are all unrelated and I need them to be completely separate. I used "Type", "Bullets and Numbering", then "Apply Numbering" to begin with. This had each list in the correct order. However, I also created a paragraph style with the correct font, size, indentation, and spacing that must be applied to all the lists before exporting. When I do this, everything keeps its correct formatting except that some of the lists continue their numbering from the previous list. For example, on page 1 I might have a list of four things all formatted correctly and number 1 through 4. On page 3, I have another list, of completely unrelated items. I therefore would like this list to be started over at number 1, but when I apply the paragraph style to it, it starts at 5, picking up where the last list left off. I need to keep these as the assigned paragraph style but it messes up the numbering. If anyone could help me figure out how to keep this from happening I would greatly appreciate it!

If you don't mind cracking open the ePub and editing template.css, then adding rules like:
h2 {
page-break-before: always;
should force each paragraph whose style is mapped to an h2 tag on to a new page. Whether or not it works will depend on how good the ePub reader is at implementing CSS. It seems to work for Digital Editions and also Kindle, if you convert ePub to Kindle format.
This doesn't help at all if you are trying to force sections into separate XHTML files, though.

How do I create a Table of Contents page for ePub that link?

I am new to E-Publishing, I have been able to my overall book but cannot figure out the Table of Contents. I need them to link to the chapter page. I have created a table of contents and they dont link. I tried to create hyperlink within the document but they only work in the pdf version and not the ePub. What can i do so that they link in the ePub version as well ?
I dont know if this information would be helpful but I also wanted to mention that All the chapter names are set to the same style, and that the Table of content I have created so far was made through the TOC option in InDesign. Also the layout is fixed and I am using InDesign CC 2014

Make sure the TOC is in the style source document
Thank you so much! This was the thing I did wrong. There had been another document marked for style source. Now it works perfectly.

Creating hyperlinks in InDesign for epubs

Hi everybody,
When I view epub files in Adobe Digital Editions, the hyperlinks I create in InDesign all have a blue underline. The text color, red in this case, appears just fine. The underline is being applied by the epub reader, or so it seems. Is there anyway to eliminate this in InDesign, perhaps using character styles, etc.?
Thanks so much for any help you can provide. I'm using the latest edition of InDesign, CS5.5.
Kind regards,
Mark

Well, some do. You'll have to test -- the ADE viewer isn't really designed to give a 100% perfect view of what your document would look like on the real thing.
In any case, there isn't much you can do from within InDesign to prevent it. You would need to edit the CSS (and if you have to ask what it is or where you can find it, you are in real trouble ...) and then there is still this little itty bitty issue that you'd need to check on each of the devices you hope someone is going to view your book on what it really looks like. There is a world of difference between actual CSS support for the current batch of ePub hardware.
On the other hand, you could also take it for granted because everyone is used to seeing something blue and underlined and thinking "hey, I bet it's a hyperlink", and you wouldn't want to disappoint everyone.

Need help with Italics for ePub and InDesign CS5

Could someone help a me out. I just can not find the answer to this and I know it should be simple, I am just missing it.
I am creating an ePub from CS5 InDesign. All I want to do is have the italics that are shown in the text box in InDesign, show up in the epub file.
I would prefer not to say what I have done (I think I have tried everything, but obviously I did them all wrong, so no point listing them) and I am hoping someone can do a simple, step by step guide to how to have italics show up in the ePub file.
Sorry if this question is beneath everyone, this is really annoying that I can not figure this out on my own.

Yup, done this.
In InDesign, the text is Italic. It has the Character Style Italic associated with it.
But when I export to ePub, it is not italic.
Here is the HTML from the xhtml file for a single line of what is supposed to be italic text,
<p class="normal normal-override-2" xml:lang='en-us'><span class="italic italic-override">Words that should be Italic.</span></p>
The above line does not show up as italic in any of the 3 readers I am using to test with.
Now, in the css sheet, the span.italic-override does not have anything associated to font-style. If I manually add the font-style italic, then re-pack everything, it works.
It just seems to me a bit absurd to have to export the epub, unpack it, open it in dreamweaver, add the font-style, and repack it just to have something as simple as italic work.
So, I am missing something, I get that... I just can't figure out what!

TOC style template for epubs - where is it stored?

Hello,
some years ago I saved 3 different toc styles for my epubs. Now I added some more (for 2 levels etc.). This new ones also I saved.
But when I start to build the epub in the first option windows at the point TOC style navigation there are still the old three templates to select. I'm not able to choose the new ones.
Now I deleted in every dokument file the three old TOC styles by using the usual TOC tool. But in the epub-generator these templates are still there. With the result: the epub toc wich will be generated is wrong.
Where are these templates stored?
I use ID CC 2014.
Thanks
Detlef

Hi Anshul,
Thanks for your help. I export to epub 2.01 reflowable.
For dokuments that might be so. But I do it with books and I deleted the TOC styles in ALL documents but it was still there in the list. Also I created a new book with all new dokuments, generates on TOC style in the first document and in the export option list there were the Default style only. It is not to figure out, where ID ist looking for that?
Cheers

How to specify a category for ePub document?

Logically, in File Info box. There is one of tabs called Categories, but it doesn't work, or at least I don't see any result in iBooks.
I have checked content.opf file all meta-data located in, but I hasn't found even zero reference of category.
No category mention in new Indesign 2014 Export dialog boxes.
What's wrong?

I do not have a definitive answer on this, but my understanding is that only a small number of the metadata fields in the EPUB are actually used by the reader - title and creator certainly.
I've played with adding values for all the other dc metadata fields and they do not appear in the iBooks reader. I believe Kobo supports a wider range, but I forget at the moment which that is.
The rest of the metadata about the book is effectively entered via the iBookstore submission process - and I suspect that includes Category.
Let us know how this work out for you.

Embeddable Fonts for EPUB?

I'm using ID CS6 to create EPUBs. When I try to export anything other than the usual Times New Roman, or other basic fonts, the fonts don't show up in the exported EPUB.
For instance, I've tried using Minion Pro, Warnock, Lucida, etc. and all I get at the other end is either a bizarre substitution, or Times New Roman.
Every paragraph and character in my ID docs is assigned a paragragh or character style, which includes export tagging, and usually a class. I've had people on forum boards tell me I'm foolish for assigning classes, but how else are you supposed to distinguish between two h2 styles with different attributes?
Rather than place text from Word, which I've noticed imports a host of other problems on export, I copy the text into a simple text editing program, make it plain text, then copy and paste into ID, then apply styles to format. The embed fonts checkbox is checked when exporting.
What am I missing? What qualifies as an embeddable font? I should mention that I am viewing the epub in ADE. Could this be the problem?
Update: Just noticed that none of the character styles I've tagged as span are coming through either. The em and strong character styles work, but nothing tagged span will be properly styled in the EPUB. I even tried applying styling to characters without creating a style and it doesn't work. For instance, SMALL CAPS come through as small caps.

What are your export settings? Where are you viewing the EPUB? Have you cracked it open to see if there is a fonts folder? Does the CSS show the proper font.
Finally, nothing wrong with a class if it has a purpose. For main body text you can use a p tag without a class. If the first paragraph after an h2 has a special format you can use h2+p to create that stylinging in the css. Of course, this assumes a knowledge of CSS and the willingness to crack open the EPUB to work on it.
