    Hi. I’m making a fixed pub for a client. Made the document 1920x1080pixels. (Will end up on a Surface Touch Pro 2 at the end).
    The problem is that when I test the epub on my ipad mini and iphone 6 plus. The animations are buggy.
    I have used “Fly in from the left” on text boxes. With the option “Hide until animated” active..
    It looks ok in iBooks on the mac.
    But on iOS the animations on some pages are visible before the animation starts. The textbox is visible, disappears, and then it animates. Ugly as h-l.
    What to do?

    If I can’t use animations I could just have made a simple pdf-document.

    Andreas,

    I’d like to help you. First, what program are you using to test the ePub on the iPad mini and iPhone 6 plus?

    Also, what program will the ePubs be running on the Surface Touch Pro 2?

    Next, would it be possible for you to post the book (just a few pages that are showing the problems) in a dropbox folder for me to look at.

    I also have a thought that the larger size of the pages for the Surface Touch Pro 2 might be triggering On Page Load when opening on the smaller dimensions of the two iOS devices.

    Bear with me. We’ll figure this out.

    Hi. And thanks. iBooks on all devices. I don’t know what app will be used yet on the Surface Touch Pro 2.

    I have made the document 1920×1080 pixels in indesign. And are exporting at 72 dpi. Thats the resolution of the screen on the Surface Touch Pro 2.
    What dimensions do you usually make fixed epubs in indesign? I have googled on that but can’t find a recommended size.
    Maybe the 1920×1080 dimensions of the document is choking iBooks on the iPad?

    The problem is somewhat buggy. If i reexport the epub and transfer it again to the iPad. I get the same problem. But not always on the same pages.

    I also hade crashes. But i changed all my background images from 1920x1080px pngs to jpegs. That reduced the file size of the exporter epub drastically and the crashes are gone.

    If you mail me at andreas (dot) noren (at) mecka.se i can mail you back a dropbox link with the epub.

    Thankfull for any help on this.

    /Andreas

    Andres,

    I’ll do what I can to figure it out.

    But it may take a while as I’m in the middle of other projects.

    Best,

    Sandee
