Just choose File > Export, and select EPUB (Fixed Layout) for the format. You can export a fixed layout EPUB from any InDesign file. In the near future, additional EPUB readers and marketplaces will also support the EPUB 3 standard for fixed layout EPUB. This format is a faithful reproduction of your InDesign layout, so it is ideal for highly-designed books such as cookbooks, travel books, photography and art books, “coffee table” books, and children’s books.Ĭurrently, fixed layout EPUB 3 files can be read with iBooks on iOS devices and Macintosh computers, Google Play books, Adobe Digital Editions 4, and the Readium extension for the Chrome browser. Fixed layout EPUB supports accurate positioning of text and graphics, as well as audio, video, and interactive elements.
The EPUB 3 standard specifies two types of EPUB output: “reflowable” EPUB and “fixed layout” EPUB. If you know how to use InDesign for print projects, you now have a simple path to publishing your content digitally for reading on tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. The latest update to Adobe InDesign CC makes creating highly-designed, graphically-rich fixed layout EPUB output easy. Keith Gilbert, a digital publishing consultant and educator, explains how the InDesign fixed layout ePUB solution works for creating eBooks for the Apple’s iBooks, Play books, and Adobe Digital Editions 4. With last week’s announcement by Adobe that it would stop offering its Single Edition app solution as a free benefit for Creative Cloud members, the company has started to emphasize its fixed layout ePUB solution inside InDesign.
