Hi Guys,

I am using the latest version for Indesign , whenever i export the file to epub fixed layout it appears as below

I tried installing a previous version of indesigns but still the problem exists, I tried on 2015 version as well on my old machine, it worked better but still the alignment of the text is incorrect as you can see in the next picture, can anyone help?

Hello,

thanks a lot for the advice, I do convert the arabic text to outline, and it works not the perfect method thought but at least it makes the pages readable

Hi Sarah,

sorry. Was under the false impression that you have the issue with Publish Online when looking for a workaround.

So I edited this reply!

I have the same issue in exporting a Farsi book which exports to pdf and reflowable ePub. However, it does not export correctly to fixed layout ePub.

This is the document's first two pages in Indesign Arabic/English 2022 Version 17.1:

The result when exported to ePub fixed layout looks like this:

I was offered to have the pages rasterized into images. However, this idea is not a solution. If I wanted to create ePubs from images why would I learn and use Adobe Indesign?

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this trouble. Currently we are investigating this issue. Will it be possible for you to share a sample file? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link.

Also, could you please try opening Epub file in some other reader like Readium. Let us know if this helps or the issue still persists.

Regards,

Srishti
