Images exporting to epub

carlsbad · 08-03-2014, 10:13 PM

I have a long document/book (192 pgs) in which there are several charts, tables, etc.

btw... I am using Indesign 5.5

I converted them to jpg and then set those into the articles panel. When I export to epub they don't "connect" they end up at the end of the document.

I have tried every each way to anchor them to no avail. The text flow currently is set around those jpg images. Which is why I put them in the articles panel.

Uncle.

I have tried everything I can think of to get these to export in sequence.

Any ideas?

If you want text to flow around them, then this book will be unusable on many devices with smaller screens unless you want the pictures to be quite small.

I know nothing about InDesign, but you can use the calibre editor or Sigil to put the images where you want them, since you have them as images already.

You basically put the cursor where you want the images and import them in calibre. Sigil requires a two step of import the document, then put the cursor where you want it and place it.

If you want the pictures in a fixed location relative to the text, then epubs may not be your best choice, since any user pushing the text size button can shift the text. A PDF might be a better choice if this is not intended for sale, but PDFs do not scale well, with text and images shrinking unless laid out for smaller screens. In a larger device having done that, the image is too small. Sigh.

A wide table might be hard to display in any smaller screen device, though images work fine, they may be hard to see.
