MemberChanging the pulldown to ALL did it! Sharp as a tack now. Thanks for the help Bob.
MemberHi Bob,
I’ve printed with it set to Optimized. I’m going to try All next. I also set the Transparency Flattening to High Res and the Transparency Blend Space to RGB (since the placed image is RGB?). I think the Trans Flattening made an improvement, not sure what the Blend space does or if it did anything but it does look like an improvement; just not as good as my print out of Lightroom.
Going to try the All setting next under the Graphic tab as you suggested.
MemberThis is great feedback Buck, I’ll give it a try.
MemberReading that article, I see it does need a Guide and it appears that only the Cover, TOC and the page you want the reader to start on are the only pages ever linked so all that other stuff I have in my Guide noted above is not necessary.
Would be nice if this “Guide” could be auto generated when exporting from INDD.
MemberI’m reading that article as well. So if I understand correctly you DID NOT make a guide but did do all that other stuff?
MemberSo if I understand correctly, you did NOT make a Guide in the OPF file but did all that other stuff instead?
MemberHi Sarah,
thanks for checking in, I’m still here and though I finished this project, I’m going to have another wone soon so any input you can give will be helpful. You mentioned that you give Calibre an HTML file, I gave it an ePub file. I’d be interested to know what your workflow is. I’m still new at this.
Have a beautiful September weekend.
MemberHi Buck,
Ok, I figured out that DRM = Digital Rights Managed but at what point does it get embedded into a file? I know I never requested it in my files (knowingly). I don’t even know if any of them have it because I haven’t seen any DRM warnings.
You are correct though, Amazon doesn’t like the converted files from Calibre. That said, that information as far as I have seen dates back to 2011 and I can’t find anything recent that says Calibre converted files will be rejected. The only info I found was that Amazon has their nose up in the air because Calibre is OpenSource.
That said, I went ahead and made two versions of my epub, one the way I’ve described in previous messages (getting the same result) and another using the conversion process (which wasn’t much) in Calibre. My friend tells me the Calibre conversion sort of works but still doesn’t work.
Lucky for me I guess, he doesn’t really care about this version because the ePub version will also work but I need to get this right for next time. So yes, please keep me posted on your progress.
MemberHi Sarah,
I’m sure you are just busy but I thought I’d give you a friendly poke.
MemberHi Sarah,
The file starts in INDD, then I export to .ePub, validate, then I open the ePub and add the guide, zip and validate again. Then I open the new epub in Kindle Previewer and it converts the file to .mobi.
I haven’t used Calibre because Anne Marie suggested not to (on Lynda.com), but I don’t recall why.
MemberHi guys,
The only solution I could figure out to this problem is to apply the correct URL to the text and then I could copy that text, Find that text (when it does that it finds the entire block and highlights it) and paste to replace it. This was an acceptable amount of pain. I did notice that it created a lot of hyperlinks in the hyperlink palette with the same number. I need to learn how to associate them all to a single one but better yet, INDD should do this when it imports the Word file.
While I was doing this, another problem was discovered but I’ll put that in a separate post.
MemberHi David,
I was reading Create A Hyperlink To Any Shared Destination (https://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSB152EA6F-30D9-417c-9E16-A2C492C04892.html) and these particular instructions seem to be for creating links that go to other pages, not URLs. That said, it talks about having all the files open that the link goes to (I have a single file) but I’m not understanding how to connect the dots. If I have “this text linking” to a website in 200 different places and I create the hyper link ON that text for the first time, how is it going to share the destination with all the rest. But I’m getting ahead of myself here because that is probably what I would do if I was creating the link for the first time.
In my case, I have imported a Word doc that already has all the text hyperlinked.
MemberAdobe might be able to do a cool thing if on the Hyperlink palette, if the same hyperlink exists more than once, you should only have one instance of it on the palette. If I only had one link being pulled in all those instances I’d be done with that link issue and would have fewer links to deal with as well. Maybe if they structured it like they do in AI where you double click an object and drill down to it and it toggles down on the Layers palette that you can see all the components or in this case the instances. Hope that makes sense.
MemberHi David,
Yes, it’s the underlying hyperlink that I need to fix. I opened the Hyperlink palette (you can’t even arrow down do advance to the next link, oye!) and as I go down the list, I can see links that have this trailing / that I want to get rid of. If there were a way to just target them, that would probably work. I think @Salieri’s suggestion is great but with as many links as I have, I think I need to narrow it down more.
MemberSalieri,
That looks like it is getting close but I’m not sure “watch out for that” with about 1000 links is something I want to go through and, well, as you say, watch out for ;-)
I went through and did a search and replace in an extracted epub file using DMX telling it to find /”> and replace with “> It found a bunch of the link in question but also found other longer URLs (longer than 6 characters) that also had the issue. That would mean that if I wanted to solve this issue further up the chain, I would need some kind of grep I guess that would find just the trailing /. Is that even possible?
