Adobe InDesign CS3 adds support for OPS content

Alexander Turcic · 04-27-2007, 10:15 PM

Earlier this month Adobe launched the fifth incarnation of their desktop publishing tool Adobe InDesign C3, worshiped by publishing companies all over the globe. And one of the most interesting new features (at least for us) is the ability to export of content into the same XHTML-based e-book format that is supported by the Adobe Digital Editions reader software.

During the export, InDesign creates a single .epub file containing the XHTML-based content. The exported file can also include a JPEG thumbnail image from the first page in the specified document. This thumbnail is used to depict the book in the Digital Editions Reader library view. Click here for a sample file generated from InDesign.

Nick Bogaty from IDPF has more information in the IDPF forums.

This is interesting news. How about writing a tool to take .epub and create temporary files to be fed to mobigen.exe or litgen..dll?
