Intent in Document Setup when converting Print edition to ePub

1. If I want to covert a print edition into epub, do I have to change Intent in "Document Setup" from Print to Digital?

2. I tend to have strange overrides in every chapter: a container in the body. Is it possible to get rid of it? The CSS style defines that the border width should be 0.

XHTML:

<body id="ebook" xml:lang="et-EE" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">

  <div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1">

CSS:

div._idGenObjectStyleOverride-1 {

border-width:0px;

ePub:

2.0.1

Reflowable

Programs in use:

InDesign CC 2015.2 Release

Adobe Digital Editions

Sigil

Hi,

You dont need to change the Intent in "Document Setup" from Print to Digital. Just right click in the rules and change the unit to pixels - in both rules (vert/horz). Changing the intent in most of the times change the page size and mess the layout.

You might be better starting from scratch.

Upgrade to 2015.4

Use Web as the intent

Export to ePub version 3

Derek, thank you for your thoughts!

Do I understand correctly that after upgrade, I will open the ready INDD layout for a print book and set the intent to Web?

As the book has already been designed (for print, though) - designing from scratch doesn't seem reasonable.

It's impossible to answer this without seeing the layout. If it's simple text in one flowing story it should be fine, but if you have multiple text frames, graphics and a complicated layout, you may well be better off starting from scratch with a new layout.

And Derek is right...use version 3. There's almost no reason I can think of to use 2.
