    Your problem seems to be collecting the copy to use in Indesign, not really an Indesign problem.
    Perhaps going to the source of the info being input to the website may be the best option.
    Once you have that information/copy placing and styling it in Indesign is quite straightforward.

    Is outputting to interactive pdf not an option? This does alot of what your different workflow will do and can dramatically cut the size

    These both look really interesting. I hadn’t seen Keith’s post from last summer, and I had been eyeing up In5., It looks like a great tool and an amazing way to extend my newly acquired Indesign animation skills to a far wider use.

    Thanks so much David.

    I use the print thumbnail feature, make a pdf file then load that up and add annotation in Indesign

    Return, 99.5% of the time.
    Shift-return (or soft-return) if you really must force a break, as Furry says you will not be starting a new paragraph.
    To move a word to join an orphan use no-break.

    Hi Linda
    Thanks for the update, I have made ebooks with animations and sound files that work great on ipad, Mac and in Readium, however outside those they have had problems, with fonts and sound.
    Keep us updated on how it goes for KIndle. Good luck with the adventure. :)

    There have been books published in fxl (see Yellow Submarine on itunes) but I am not clear on what has been done only from Indesign CC.

    I want to be given examples to prove me wrong.

    I will continue to create fixed layouts too, it’s a great format. Do remember you are designing for digital devices when it comes to type size though.

    I would break up each 450 pp book into say 20pp documents and then manage the whole Book using the book panel, is this what you are doing?
    You have the option then to select each document in book panel and output to pdf.

    Not automating I know but easier to manage, as a 450pp large format document myst get a bit unwieldy.

    No let the printer do any imposing.

    You have the option when outputting to pdf whether to have spreads or single pages, Single pages for the printer, Spreads to show your client is a good direction.

    Don’t keep thinking you need to impose it – you don’t. The printer has software for that.

    1 Allow enough space for the binding.
    2 Facing pages. It makes more sense of what goes where (ie. not getting too close to the binding area).
    3 No, the printer will impose it.
    4 Output to a print ready pdf – NOT individual pages.

    5 Talk to the printer about the binding, pdf format, and anything else you are not sure about.

    Cheers

    The silence on all your points is deafening, it seems that fixed layout epubs export is beta at best, very limited when it comes to working on all platforms, and so far only seems to have no problems in ibook. As for validation I would be amazed if anyone has validated any output (fxl) from Indesign, so far.
    I am sure they will get it to work but it hasn’t happened yet. I want it to work so much.

    Yes fixed layout.
    Something tells me Adobe are not dogfooding the fixed layout output.

    There are a number of font issues in the real world.

    Rebuild preferences fixed it.
    The gremlins had got in, but have now been banished.
