MemberOh. I just noticed Kris’ photo, above. So, he is not an “or she”. Sorry, Kris, if you’re reading!
MemberI have gotten through to Kris at ePubCrawler, at last! Apparently, he or she had been emailing me with replies to my questions, but they wound up in my junk mail. I never expect that, so I didn’t think to check. I think I’m on my way to figuring out the last problems I’m having, with Kris’s generous help. WHEW!
MemberHi, AM,
I really appreciate your personal response, here. You’ll perhaps see that I posted “Problem with Spreads Using EPubCrawler”, yesterday, crossing with this reply in the mail, so to speak.
Unfortunately, I sent similar emails to Rorohiko’s support address concerning both problems (I got the type issue to resolve; now I just can’t make it create the spreads right. It’s compressing the entire spread onto each facing page). No-one from Rorohiko has responded.
I did watch all six videos (even printed them out and highlighted and underlined things!) but he is mum on the topic of spreads.
Unless he gets back to me in the next few days, I suppose I’ll have to go back to the work-around method that you described in the Lynda.com tutorial. Since the extractpages script won’t work for me at all, I guess that means creating 34 individual InDesign files, which will be tedious. But, at least it will make me some spreads, in the end. :)
Thanks, again, for the personal attention.
CherylMemberHi, Anne-Marie,
Thanks so much for your recommendation of ePubCrawler. I tried it out and, for the most part, it’s a miracle!
However, the type on my InDesign file (all of which has a Paragraph Style applied to it) is exporting too large and with what looks like an extra space between lines. And, some text frames exported to locations different from the ones I obtained by using the CSsGeometry2.jsx script (and are in the wrong place on the page). Also, and this is important for my children’s book, I don’t know how to make pages export as spreads, either.
I think I’m supposed to be able to adjust some things on the config.inn file that downloaded with ePubCrawler 2.5. However, the file I’ve got looks nothing at all like either the one on Rorohiko’s website, or your article in InDesign magazine. Those have a lot of information and editable text. Mine has two lines, which read: “This is the config.ini file for the default ePubStyle. It can override settings made in the top-level config.ini file”. I think I should have gotten that top-level config.ini file, don’t you?
Do you think I should download an older version of ePubCrawler, just to get that top-level config.ini file? Or how else can I solve the problems with the type and make the pages export as spreads?
Thanks!
CherylMemberI did exactly as you said, even though I knew that they were in the right place in the Scripts panel, already. I copied the scripts from the downloaded exercise files from Lynda.com and pasted them into the scripts panel, in Finder. Same problem, now. When I double-click on the extractpagesCS55.jsx, I get the same message: Can’t find script file “/Applications/Adobe InDesign Cs5.5/Scripts/Scripts Panel/epub/extractpages.jsx”
I imagine that my only other option is to manually create individual InDesign files for each of 34 pages, before going on to the next step of creating a Fixed Layout epub?
