David BlatnerKeymasterThat’s definitely troubling, Matt. You can post a screen shot here by uploading it to a site like imgbb or imgur and then posting the URL here.
However, we’re not going to be able to help with bugs like that, of course. You might get more notice from the InDesign team by posting it on their wishlist/bug reporting form here: https://indesign.uservoice.com
David BlatnerKeymasterHere’s a list of a bunch of resources that can help you get started with scripting:

David BlatnerKeymasterWow! Thank you, Peter!
(For everyone who finds his script useful: click the other links at the bottom of Peter’s page to find a “Make a Donation” button. If this saves you an hour — or a dozen! — then let him know financially.)
David BlatnerKeymasterSeems like it should be straightforward (easy for me to say!) for a script to convert automatic endnotes into text… no? Just replace the endnote reference number with an actual number (or whatever) and then “break the link”?
David BlatnerKeymasterOkay, first of all, you have the best screen name, and your email address (which isn’t public here, but we have ways…) is even better. So +1 to you for that.
But when it comes to what you’re trying to do with Blogger… wow, no, I’ve never heard of anyone publishing ID docs like that. Fascinating idea!
It seems like you’re really focusing on very fast delivery over the web… But have you tried something like Publish Online? That’s much easier way to put pages on a web site (though I don’t know how fast it would be on slow bandwidth connections).
David BlatnerKeymasterNo, not easily. Here’s one option, though:

David BlatnerKeymasterHow are you making the index? Normally, you’d build the index one entry at a time, so you’d just not include those parts you don’t want in the index.
But if you’re using the Add All feature… no, you can’t pick and choose. I do not recommend using that feature because it often creates a bloated index. Indexes need to be hand-crafted.

David BlatnerKeymasterWhy would you export the booklet as PostScript?
I strongly recommend exporting as normal PDF (as pages) and then use an Acrobat tool to impose it into booklets.
David BlatnerKeymasterI think Graham and Kristen are talking about different things. Graham is talking about pagination (imposition) — that is, the position of the pages. Kristen is saying this printer wants documents set up as single-sided pages not facing pages… and I think the implication is that they want bleed on all four sides of the page.
This makes no sense to me, for comics, magazines, books, or any other document that is going to be imposed and bound — except for documents that are spiral bound (or some kind of binding where the right edge of a left-hand page does not actually touch the left edge of a right-hand page.
There’s a discussion going on in our Facebook group about this right now, and it’s similarly mysterious and frustrating. Why would a printer ever want bleed on the inside (gutter) in a book or magazine or comic, where the two pages are coming together… unless they really do want a bit of the left page to print on the right and vice versa…?
David BlatnerKeymasterHm… that does sound like a good mystery. Just in case: try exporting the document to IDML and then opening that IDML and exporting the EPUB again from the new file.

David BlatnerKeymasterYeah, it’s similar, but ID doesn’t have that feature. You would have to clone the circles first and do multiple pathfinder operations.
David BlatnerKeymasterThat does sound really weird. Is this all one big story? You aren’t using text frames anchored inside other frames, or separate stories or something?
David BlatnerKeymasterThanks Ken! I’m sure circularFlo would be an awesome option.
But I also wonder if just linking to the youtube video would work? (probably only when online)
