Left Justify Dosn't carryover from InDesign to Fixed-layout ePub

[Ahmad Sleem]

Hi There,

The image on the left is what I have in InDesign, on the right is what I get when I export to ePub Fixed-Layout, any ideas?

Please note:

• Everything is styled using paragraph style
• There is no overrides
• There is no Glyph Scaling
• I have changed and tried many different fonts and all types (OTF/TTF)
• The content in not imported

Please help!

You can see here in the screenshot that your paragraph is set from the basic paragraph style and that this style is set to Left Justify. yyet at the top of the screen you have chosen Full Justify. The ePub is reading the paragraph style and overriding your manual style conflict. This is why you are getting the results in ePub.

Hi Max,

Thanks for your answer, what I have up there is not Full Justify, it is Left Justify what is what I am looking for.

Did you use an OpenType font? What reader are you checking the EPUB in?

[Ahmad Sleem]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your answer. I am using all kinds of readers mainly (Readium)

And you’re sure you’ve chosen fixed layout epub?

I have no problems getting text to fully justify here.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for getting back so quick.

Yes I am pretty sure that I have choosed Fixed Layout ePub

[BobLevine]

You say you're using Readium. Is that the standalone version or the Chrome extension?

The Chrome extension is no longer a good choice. Readium 2.0 is coming along. Google it and try that.

You can also give Adobe Digital Editions a try. The good news is that in Windows 10 (1809) Edge has been vastly upgraded for fixed layout. Should be released in the next few weeks.

Hi Bob,

This is what I got from Adobe Digital Editions, still same result!

[BobLevine]

You have me curious now.

Package the file, zip it up, and put it in a dropbox folder. Post a link and I'll take a look when I get a minute.

[Ahmad Sleem]

It is in the main post.

[BobLevine]

So it is.

You have the world ready composer selected. Use the paragraph composer.

[Ahmad Sleem]

WooooW Jackpot!!!

And that is the correct answer Thank you Bob

But why, what is the deference? between "world ready composer" & "paragraph composer"

[BobLevine]

World Ready is for right to left languages such as Hebrew.
