Indesign CS5 Crashes on Epub Export

Chuck Weinstock · 05-12-2011, 09:48 PM

I am trying to convert a fairly complex book in Indesign to Epub using the export to epub feature. For most of my other books this has worked with no problem. For this particular title it gets about 2/3 of the way through (as measured by the progress bar) and then Indesign CS5 crashes. This is on a Mac running 10.6.7 if it matters. Has anyone seen this? Are there workarounds for this sort of problem?

Thanks,

Chuck Weinstock

That happened to me. Twice. If got around it by exporting it to the cross version format. (I cant recall the extension at present) opening it in CS4 and then exporting it back out. Whatever was causing the problem was not transferred.
I tried exporting from 4 and 5 then. One of them worked.
