EPUB Export in InDesign 21.4 Ignores Image Alignment and Spacing Settings

Hi,

 

In Screenshot 1, there is an EPUB. Looking at two images, space(1) and alignment(2) are different from what I expect.

  1. Space is larger.
  2. Alignment is left.

Those parameters in Screenshots 2 and 3 worked. But it’s not working since the InDesign update two days ago.

Is there any solution?

    If you revert to InDesign 21.3, does the issue go away? You can revert from the CC app > InDesign > Other Versions menu

    Hi ​@Hosun,

     

    Thank you for sharing the details, and I'm glad to hear that reverting to 21.3 resolved the issue for you.

    To investigate this further, I tested the same EPUB export workflow on InDesign 21.4 running on Windows 11, but I was unable to reproduce the behavior. On my end, the image alignment remained centered, and the Space Before and Space After values were correctly reflected in the exported EPUB.

    Since the issue appears to be environment-specific at the moment, could you please try manually resetting your InDesign preferences by following the video at the bottom of the article below and then test the export again in 21.4?

    Please let me know how it goes after resetting the preferences. If the issue persists, I'll be happy to continue investigating it further with you.

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    Which one would I choose?

    1. Uninstall 21.4 → Install 21.3
    1. Install 21.3
