LuLu validation errors

[ralphiedee]

I did see a lot of these types of posts but none of them addressed the problem generated by a fixed pub which was created in InDesign 2017.

I did the book for a client of mine and when he went to upload the file to lulu he got the following errors

our EPUB contains errors that must be addressed before you can proceed. Details...
The following issues can affect your EPUB's eligibility for certain channels:

Did not pass epubcheck-3.0.1 validation. (the iBookstore and Barnes & Noble)
Contains unmanifested files. (the iBookstore and Barnes & Noble)
Contains XML namespace errors. (the iBookstore and Barnes & Noble)
Contains file permission errors. (the iBookstore and Barnes & Noble)
Contains invalid images. (the iBookstore and Barnes & Noble)
The table of contents contains one or more links without text. (the iBookstore and Barnes & Noble)
Contains invalid guide section XML. (Barnes & Noble)
Contains invalid creator XML. (Barnes & Noble)
Contains invalid publication date XML. (Barnes & Noble)
Contains invalid publisher XML. (Barnes & Noble)

so I'm trying to backtrack as this puts me in a hole as the client is not happy as you would think.

If this helps, when I checked the pub I got the following report from Epub check 3.0 right out of the fixed layout just exported from InDesign 2017.

Lulu forum takes forever, anyone here with insight on this ?

The fonts exported from InDesign are obfuscated. Is there an option to not obfuscate the fonts? If not, you'll have to handle this by hand.

Also, you'll want to use epubcheck 4.0.1 and not 3.0. Do it locally on your computer so you can see the errors and where they are so they can be fixed.

Would it work as epub2?

Ralphie:

Did you get this solved? Wolfie is right about the cause of the font issues--did you get the rest solved?
