Question

Grey box for image on epub export

Hi everyone!

I had to create an EPUB file for a presentation (includes mp4 files).  My video and audio clips were successful in exporting, however, none of the images show, I just see a gray boxs. The images are okay in the presentation, I view in highest quality. 

 

It's a fixed layout, all of my images are linked, anchoring images does not work, nneither does altering the display before exporting.

 

Any help appreciated, I have been on every forum with no luck. And I need to get this presentation working.

At the root of Bob's question is that EPUB viewers vary widely in how they handle presentation and embedded content. Many are... outdated, quirky or just substandard.

 

Download and install Thorium Reader and use it as your primary EPUB proofing tool. If it works on Thorium (displays correctly, has acceptable formatting and layout, embedded stuff looks right) it will work on the majority of "standard" e-book readers.

 

Other than with very simple docs, you can't create an EPUB that will present perfectly on all of them. Best to work to the needs of the most standard and up-to-date readers.
