ADE - Navigation TOC doesn't work

HI,

I have completed my PhD thesis as EPUB. It works well on iBooks.

Unfortunately, the Navigation TOC (i.e. left hand TOC pane) doesn't work in Adobe Digital Editions - none of the links are clickable. This all works fine in iBooks.

One time I did get a message that "The bookmark feature only works when the book is open from the library" - but I've added the EPUB to my library and it still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Darren

I have the same problem, and we are in 2021. Have this a solution?

Nope, ADE is still a complete mess for fixed layout interactive epubs. On Apple platforms, rely on their native ebook reader, and on Windows only Thorium is a viable option, which must be installed separately by the end user.

Hi,

Did you make a ePUB FXL or reflowable? Because ADE doesn't have a full support to ePUB FXL.

Should you try this reader for ePUB FXL - Download AZARDI - AZARDI@IGP

If you export a reflowable send me the ePUB file and I can check it.

Thanks for the info.

This EPUB is fixed layout. I'm surprised ADE doesn't fully support this format.

I don't think ADE has been updated in years. I thought Adobe was going to retire it all together.

Have you also tried the Kindle export plugin?
