Epub export warnings

      Is there any way of drilling down into where problems identified upon export to epub actually originate in my ID file? I am getting the following message:

      The file was exported but one or more problems were detected:

      Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS.

      Appearance mismatch may occur when objects pasted inside a frame are exported as JPG. Try exporting them as PNG.

      This is not a valid dimension. Aspect ratio is not maintained when Width or Height is zero.

      All of these could be helpful if I had any idea about where to search in my 400+ pp ID file (with a large number of image files) for the problems.

      Does anyone have any suggestions about how to trace the origin of such cited problems?

      Thanks

      Chris

      Hi Chris,

      most of the error messages has nothing to do with images. Since CC, frames are sadly exported with a div-element and get width, height and some more attributes applied. Another problem is, that anchored-inline elements are now honored in a wrong way and get rasterized. So the idea to find those elements:

      Open your EPUB in e.g. BBEdit. Navigate to the css-file and at the bottom you will find a lot of generic classes. Search those generic classes in your html-files.

      Most of the warnings can be ignored. But some of them, can realy mess up the look of your epub.
