Question

beginner; links/embed

I'm making a document (iD) which I want to export both as an epub and an interactive pdf.

(I know each of those have to be set up a little differently at export)

It's mainly illustrations as jpegs, half pg and pg; 8x5.5", 8x11".

There seems to be an issue with the navigation in epub, is this a known thing. I've tried to read about it but it seemed a bit advanced for me; coding?

In pdf(interactive) I had used the text (titles) in the contents as hyperlinks to the images but right now I don't recognize the links that are available when I attempt this thru the new hyperlink window, how can I make sure only the images I want in that document are the ones I'm choosing from?

paste=link?

place=?

Thank you. Allen

What EXACTLY is the issue? A bit more of a description might help.

What version of InDesign? Fixed Layout or Reflowable EPUB? How are you viewing it?

sorry and thanks for the reply, I'm using cc19. What I'm trying to do is pretty straight forward I believe but I find myself stuck. I place all the images, does that link them or embed them?

is there a known prob/fix with navigation when exporting to reflowable epub; next page, prev pg, contents as buttons and none work.?

before any exporting, when trying to create page navigation, -table of contents to a page- using the 'shared hyperlink destination' option in the 'new' hyperlink window <ABOVE> the destinations I can choose from (where 'none' is) are not from the document I'm trying to create but from earlier docs, the one you see, the aros52819 is the file but the links that drop down are not from that doc at all. How can I make sure that when I place an image that it will be available to me using this method?

Thanks

Since it appears that this is an EPUB project, I'm moving the discussion to the InDesign EPUB forum.
