exporting epub fixed layout

Report · Nov 26, 2018

Please be kind, im just a beginner, trying to get through my first exercise.

I created a "slideshow", it has 5 images, and with arrow buttons I can scroll through the images, and I also added a word "vacation".

After exporting, I can use the arrows to change images but the font changes to something different. How do I keep it from changing? I am using typekit font.

Second question I have, is when the instructions say to create an alternative layout. It makes it a vertical version.

When I try to preview this vertical version, it does not fit in the Object States panel preview, so I cannot test the arrow buttons.

When I export it anyway, it wont fit in Adobe Digital Editions. I can only see top half of it.

What am I doing wrong? thank you so much!

You cannot use multiple orientations with fixed layout epub so don't waste your time.

As for font issue, please post screenshots and try it in the books app on an iPad.

Screenshots might help here.

I am following indesign book by adobe and it says to go to layout -> create alternate layout ->iPad V.

It will automatically create another page and make my design vertical. Im then supposed to export this vertical version. But I cannot preview it. I cannot export it properly.

I don't know what I should screenshot? Everything looks fine on indesign. It wont change anything till I open it in Adobe Digital Editions.

What book? It can't refer to fixed layout epub. Perhaps an old DPS book.

Screenshots comparing InDesign and ADE. Oh, and make sure ADE is fully up to date.
