Exporting an EPUB file
Now that you've completed the preparatory work, the document is ready to be exported as
a reflowable EPUB file. To complete this lesson, you'll specify several custom export op-
tions to take advantage of the work you did earlier in this lesson when you optimized the
document for EPUB export.
Specifying export settings
Much as the settings in the Print dialog box control the appearance of printed pages, the
settings you make when you export an InDesign document as an EPUB control the appear-
ance of the EPUB. You'll specify several general settings and then a few advanced settings.
1.
Choose File > Export.
2.
In the Export dialog box, choose EPUB (Reflowable) from the Save As Type menu
(Windows) or the Format menu (Mac OS).
3.
In the File Name box (Windows) or the Save As box (Mac OS), name the file
15_Recipes.epub
and save the file in the Lesson15 folder, located inside the
Lessons folder within the InDesignCIB folder on your hard drive.
4.
Click Save to close the Export dialog box.
5.
In the General section of the EPUB - Reflowable Layout Export Options dialog
box, choose EPUB 3.0 from the Version menu, and then specify the following
Setup options:
• Cover: Rasterize First Page
• Navigation TOC: Multi Level (TOC Style)
• TOC Style: Recipe Booklet
• Content Order: Same As Articles Panel
Make sure that Split Document and Based On Paragraph Style Export Tags are se-
lected. Because you specified that the Graphics paragraph style create smaller
HTML sections in the EPUB when you assigned tags to paragraph styles earlier in
this lesson, choosing Based On Paragraph Style Export Tags will start a new
HTML section in the EPUB at each of the four graphics you anchored within the
recipes.
