Last updated 11/16/2011

Rasterize First Page

If this option is selected creates an image file from the first page of the eBook to use as the

cover.

Use Existing Image File

If this option is selected you can specify an image on your computer to use as the cover.

Ordering

lets you specify the order in which the page elements are exported.

Base On Page Layout

The location of the items on the page determines the reading order.

If Base On Page Layout is selected, InDesign determines the reading order of page objects by scanning left to right and
top to bottom. In some instances, especially in complex, multicolumn documents, the design elements may not appear
in the desired reading order. Use Dreamweaver to rearrange and format the contents.

Same As XML Structure

The order of the tags in Structure View determines the reading order. See

Tag page items

on page 520.

Same As Articles Panel

The order of elements in the Articles panel determines the reading order. Only the checked

articles are exported. See

Include articles for export

” on page 148.

Book Margin

Specify a simple margin in Ems or pixels. Specifying margins in Ems is better for multiscreen

compatibility. The same value is applied to all margins: top, bottom, left, and right.

Bullets

Select Map To Unordered List to convert bullet paragraphs into List Items, which are formatted in HTML

using the

    tag. Select Convert To Text to format using the

    tag with bullet characters as text. If you have used
    native InDesign auto-bullets, subbullets are also included.

    Numbers

    Determines how numbers are converted in the HTML file. If you have used native InDesign auto-

    numbering, subbullets are also included

    Map To Ordered List

    Converts numbered lists into List Items, which are formatted in HTML using the

      tag.

      Map To Static Ordered List

      Converts numbered lists into List Items, but assigns a attribute based on the

      paragraph’s current number in InDesign.

      Convert To Text

      Converts numbered lists into paragraphs that begin with the paragraph’s current number as text.

      View EPUB After Exporting

      Starts the Adobe Digital Editions Reader, if present.

      EPUB Images options

      The Images section of the Digital Editions Export Options dialog box includes the following options. From the Image
      Conversion menu, determine how images are exported to HTML.

      Preserve Appearance from Layout

      Check to inherit the image object attributes from the layout.

      Resolution (ppi)

      Specify the resolution of the images in pixels per inch (ppi). While operating systems have

      standardized on either 72 ppi or 96 ppi, mobile devices range from 132 ppi (iPad), to 172 ppi (Sony Reader), to over
      300 ppi (iPhone 4). You can specify a ppi value for each object selected. Values include 72, 96, 150 (average for all
      eBook devices today), and 300.

      Image Size

      Specify if image size must remain fixed or resized relative to the page. Relative to Page Size sets a relative

      percentage value based on the size of the image relative to the InDesign page width. This option causes the images to
      rescale proportionally, relative to the width of the reading area.

      Image Alignment and Spacing

      Specify the image alignment, left, center, right, and the top and bottom padding.

      Insert Page Break

      Check to insert page breaks with images. Page breaks can be inserted Before Image, After Image, or

      Before and After Image.

      Settings Apply to Anchored Objects

      Check to apply these settings to all anchored objects.
