Error during validation - Page 2

Nope, I extract all. Then edit and zip them all back up !

Then there is something strange going on or you are extremely lucky. I cannot imagine that a file created in that manner will pass the checks or is readably usable on readers beside the iPad.

Could you post a sample?

Whoo Hoo? Toaxaris. I like the extremely lucky part. Time to get a lottery ticket as well. That's how I've made ePubs since September when I learned you had to validate them. All that scripting for zipping in the previous posts looks like hard work but I guess that's where I'm headed unless I continue to be lucky.

I've worked macs since 1985 and when I saw Liz Castro's posts about unzippy this zippy-de-do-da that when I was just using my mouse I thought "I'm not going back to the mac for this game"

Like I said. Very confused.

I can't post my client's work publicly but I can email a confidential ePub for you to have a look at. I've been trying to get someone's attention for a couple of weeks now because I have twenty books to do and I don't want to find out I screwed up when I'm delivering the 19th book.

So that will be in the morning when I can find the validated ePubs at work.

I love the help you guys give. Plenty of Karma to you all.

No problem, just sent something over. You can also just make one with dummy text. Just as long your method is the same...

Thanks for the offer Toxaris. I'll just finish of some other work first and take you up on your offer.
