Weird, in my test it only added the tracking after the “r”. Yeah I dont know why but it seems to be able to apply kerning values, it has to be done manually. I was hoping that using tracking would be a work around.

Have you tried Peter Kahrel’s Kerning script? I just ran across it and it might do the trick for what you’re needing. https://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/kern.html

oh good! Yes it is possible to find the first character of a predetermined word, try

I’m not sure what it might be now, but I believe it really depends on the store you plan on selling it as there is no hard maximum used throughout the industry.

According the the Nook spec (circa 2010), it says max file size is 300kb for reflowable. They may have upped that, but that’s what their latest spec says.

I’m sure iBooks is higher than that, I think I saw someone say its something like 1-2GB, which I haven’t tested but is on the higher end of the spectrum. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was indeed that high or higher seeing how screen resolution on their products is increasing.

So if you want to sell your ebook in every store, you have to limit yourself to the store that has the smallest file size limit, or just plan on selling it in certain stores that allow for larger file sizes.

I do believe the file size limit is much larger for the fixed layout format as they usually are much heavier in images/video/audio.

Hey David,

Straight from InDesign to ePub I think the popup needs to be a footnote or an endnote. Even if you do them by hand in the HTML/CSS they would have to be set up the same way, unless you do some custom JavaScript popups.

I dont have any experience with doing popups in PDFs so I’m not sure of the process or how they export to ePub.

Hey Marlon, welcome to the InDesign Secrets forum!

One workaround would be to just modify the Delete Row shortcut to something different but similar (one that you can remember, maybe add one or two more modifier keys to Cmd+Delete shortcut, like Shift+Cmd+Delete which is available to assign in my shortcuts) in your Keyboard Shortcuts.

ok, that might be where the issue is coming from.

I just did a test export with a chapter I have with endnotes using the Endnotes feature both with the normal import and with the static text import and added a superscript character style to the numbers on both. I’m looking at the HTML and CSS and it appears with the standard import it doesnt retain the superscripted character style in the endnotes section but you have live links to your endnote numbers in the text. The static text import retains the superscripted character style but does not link to your endnote numbers in the text. I dont know why InDesign is overriding that character style on Export, looking at the code it really shouldnt be a problem to implement, each number has two character styles applied to the anchor tag that arent even in the stylesheet (so basically they’re unused), by simply adding vertical-align:super; to one of the classes it superscripts them.

Anyway, sorry that took a little tangent into the HTML and CSS. But off the top of my head I dont know of a work around in InDesign to keep the numbers superscripted on export since it appears that they are overriding character styles, well, besides going into the HTML and CSS itself and adding it by hand.

Hope that made sense, I might submit this to the InDesign feedback page because it really shouldnt override superscripting on ePub Export.

Hello Bryana,

Off the top of my head I’m not sure why, I our house style doesnt superscript the numbers in the endnotes section but just thinking of how InDesign would export and not superscript the numbers.

Do you happen to have the numbers in your endnotes section set up with the Bullets and Numbering within your paragraph style? That would export as an ordered list in the HTML and probably wouldnt export as superscripted numbers, you might be able to superscript the numbers in CSS, but I’m not sure.

If they’re hard coded numbers (ie someone typed them in), you said you have a character style applied to them, are you exporting with InDesign CSS or a custom CSS stylesheet)? also have you looked at the CSS to see what its doing (or not doing) and maybe looked to see if there were any conflicting CSS classes?

Bill,

I think I had this question a few years back and someone answered and gave me a script that I feel I should pass on.

//Get a collection of graphics in the doc
var imgs = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;

//Loop through the graphics in the collection
for(i=0; i<imgs.length;i++) {     
	//use function move(to) to place graphics in layer named myLayer
	imgs[i].parent.move(app.activeDocument.layers.item('Images'));
}

//Set myLayer layer options to be not visible and not printable
app.activeDocument.layers.item('images').visible=true; 
app.activeDocument.layers.item('images').printable=true;
