Hello InDesigners,
I am afraid my experience with ePub documents is limited to reading them, not creating them. For some obscure reason I have chosen a Monday to try my hand at this …
Almost everything make sense to me, and almost everything – so far – works according to plan. I am exporting from an InDesign (Print) document to ePub 3. The two problems I am facing are:
1) Minor: the first page contains a JPG cover image, but a fraction of this image displays at the top of the second page. I can correct it by having it a little short of the bottom of the page, but then the inevitable white strip appears at the bottom of the cover image/page (in, for example, iBooks). Image saved to correct size, set to fit the frame and frame set to fit the page.
2) Worrying: I also suffer from the ‘External Text Anchor not found: 1’ issue that seems to plague a number of people. No issues listed under Cross-References, and preflighting with Cross-References Are Unresolved checked yields no error either. I do believe this is linked to my TOC (all carefully linked to Paragraph Styles), but cannot find the source of the problem. Like another person who had the same problem I have worked on several (successively renamed) iterations of a document. The internal TOC has been updated, the problem remains.
The export errors (2) read:
TOC Text Anchor not found: 1
TOC text anchor “_idTOCAnchor-1” in [path of file] is missing
and
External Text Anchor not found: 3
Text Anchor in “[Users/Bernard/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 11.0/en_US/InDesign ClipboardScrap1” is missing: 3
Any help hugely appreciated …
