Creating and Exporting an Ebook - Adobe InDesign CC - page 529

If you're the adventurous type, try changing some of the other attributes. For ex-
ample, change the alignment from “center” to “left.” Or find some hexidecimal
color codes and change the color of the main headlines and subheads.
Tip
Different EPUB readers can display the same EPUB file differently. You
should always test exported EPUBS in the readers you want to support.
5. Open the InDesign file named iPadEPUB.indd that's in the Lesson15 folder. This
document contains the same content as the one you worked on during the lesson,
but the page size has been changed to 1024 × 768 pixels, the dimensions of an iPad
screen, and the layout has been modified slightly to accommodate the different
page dimensions. Export this document, but instead of choosing EPUB (Reflow-
able) in the Export dialog box, choose EPUB (Fixed Layout). To view the exported
fixed layout EPUB using Apple iBooks (an app that is automatically included with
Mac OS X Mavericks [10.9] and later), select Viewing Apps from the scroll list on
the left of the EPUB - Fixed Layout Export Options dialog box, and then choose
iBooks. You can also sideload the EPUB file to an iPad using iTunes and open it
with iBooks. Leave all other settings in the EPUB - Fixed Layout Export Options
dialog box unchanged and click OK.
Review questions
1 . When you create a document that you intend to export as a reflowable EPUB, how
do you ensure that a graphic maintains its position relative to surrounding text?
2 . What is metadata?
3 . What panel lets you specify the content to be included in a reflowable EPUB and

4 . When you export a reflowable EPUB, what option must you choose if you want the
content order to be determined by the Articles panel rather than by the page layout?
5 . You've specified custom export settings for several graphics frames. How can you
override the export settings for these objects during export of a reflowable EPUB?
Review answers
1 . To ensure that a graphic maintains its position relative to text in a reflowable EPUB
file, anchor it within the text as an inline graphic.
