ParticipantThanks for posting this Keith, I’ve been meaning to check that out, it would definitely be worth it to me to signup for Lynda for a month just for that course.
ParticipantThat doesn’t sound dumb at all. Are you wanting to do this from inDesign or or you working in the code? I’m not sure how you could do it in InDesign, I’m guessing there is a way to make an image into a link, then you could just use your large image path as the link. If you’re working in the code, try placing your small image is normal and then wrap it in an anchor to make the image a link, and then use your larger image path for the link, so when you tap the image the reader is taken to the large image. Does that make sense?
November 30, 2015 at 5:00 pm in reply to: Script to convert page number marker to page number #79726ParticipantNM, I found one that works pretty well on StackOverflow if anyone else is interested.
ParticipantThe GREP metacharacter in InDesign for anchors is
~aso try this:Find:
(~a)(~a)
Replace:$1 $2Note that this will find all instances of two anchors side by side and does not specify only two, so if you have 2+ anchors without spaces it will find all that have a partner and had a space between them.
ParticipantHere’s a GREP search that will select everything but the hard return at the end of the paragraph.
Find:
^.+?$ParticipantNot sure if this will find everything by try:
\W\K0(?!\w)ParticipantYeah Ken’s right, there’s no way to turn on or off which fonts available to the reader, the easiest way to make sure they don’t change would be to images of the Hebrew text.
November 12, 2015 at 10:00 am in reply to: Indesign CC 2015_Multi-Page PDF Import or Automate Contact Sheet #79374ParticipantRegarding placing individual pages, have you tried using Data Merge? Paired with a CSV with all your PDF’s listed, I think it would really speed up your workflow. I used it for a book that was broken up into individual page PDFs last week and once I got familiar with the process it worked quite smoothly.
ParticipantI think this might be the GREP you are looking for. Be sure to add some form of bold styling in the Change Format box.
Find:
[.?!] \K.+?power source .+?[.?!](?= )
Replace:$0Let me know if that works or not.
October 19, 2015 at 10:17 am in reply to: "Forced hyphenation" issue in PDF to eBook conversion #78829ParticipantAre you sending the PDF out for eBook development? If so, it sounds like they are trying to say that their OCR software doesn’t clean up hyphenation and if your PDF has hyphenation, it’s going to be included in the eBook. I donno if that’s, in fact, what they are saying, but it’s a thought.
ParticipantJordan,
Try using a PNG with a transparent background. I have a quarterly project that I have the same unique dropcap issue that you’re talking about and the transparent PNG solved my white background problem. Let me know if that works for you or if you have issues.
ParticipantYou could duplicate the styles you are using for the text is at the top of each page, apply them to the text and set them as styles for InDesign to break before in Edit All Export Tags (in the flyout menu in the Paragraph Styles/Character Styles windows) as you would with the styles of each chapter.
ParticipantGood question, sorry for not clarifying that. I’m exporting from CC and have had good conversion results when running it through KindleGen. I should note that I do a lot of massaging of the code that comes out of InDesign to get books how I want them and for semantic purposes, but if you are getting results you are happy with in the InDesign exported ePub, running it through KindleGen should result with fairly comparable results. But test it, drop a copy of your previous ePub file in Kindle Previewer and see how it converts it.
ParticipantJordan,
The file should convert a lot cleaner now. The conversion from ePub to KF8 (the new Amazon standard .mobi file) is a lot cleaner than going from ePub to the older Mobi7 file format. I personally export from InDesign with my own stylesheet (for reflowable ePub, both ePub2 and ePub3) and pretty much run the same InDesign exported files through KindleGen with really good results, so give it a go, it should be a lot cleaner of a conversion for you now.

ParticipantWell opening the InDesign file on my coworkers Mac running Yosemite, it worked fine. Dont know why my Mac wouldnt see notes or allow me to update the changes.
