Question

Does ePub and Sony Reader work with SVG?

Hi Adobe,

We have a book in PDF format and OeB that contains small, inline jpegs of Arabic text. It’s a book in english about arabic grammer. We would like to put this book on a Sony Reader. Is it possible to change the jpegs into SVG files or make SVG files from the PDF and would they resize with the text on the reader? Does ePub or the Sony Reader work with resizable images? Or should I just tell them they need to start over, buy an Arabic Font, do it in InDesign and export it to ePub.

Thanks,

Don Feldman

    It's been a while since you posted this question, so I'm not sure if you found an answer yet. The EPUB file format supports SVG graphics, but to insert them you have to edit the EPUB file after exporting it from InDesign. You can even wrap the reference to a bitmap image in SVG code to make the image scaleable in Adobe Digital Editions and the Sony Reader. If you need more info, let me know.

    Yes, please, Gabriel. I would like some more info on this.

    I've stumbled on odd pieces of info on what ADE does and doens't support, but wouldn't it be great to have a definite list? Such as which html codes we can use in the css? 

    I realise that the actual reading software on desktops or devices do not have all of ADE's display capabilities. Could you perhaps elaborate a bit on that as well?

    Do you think SVG-Notes would be possible in PDFs viewed on Sony Reader Touch Edition?
