Digital Editions Contents options

The Contents section of the Digital Editions Export Options dialog box includes the following options.

Format For EPUB Content

Specify whether you want to use the XHTML or DTBook format.

Include InDesign TOC Entries

Select this option if you want to generate a table of contents on the left side of the eBook.

From the TOC Style menu, specify the TOC style you want to use in the eBook. You can choose Layout > Table Of
Contents Styles to create a special TOC style for your eBook.

Suppress Automatic Entries For Documents

Select this option if you don’t want the document names to appear in the

eBook table of contents. This option is especially useful when you’re creating an eBook from a book.

Export content to SWF

The SWF file format is a vector-based graphics file format for scalable, compact graphics for the web. When you export
an InDesign document to a SWF file, the SWF file is ready for playback in a Flash Player. If you want to edit the
exported file in Flash Professional, export using XFL instead of SWF.

For a video and instructions on exporting to SWF, see

To view a sample SWF file and see tips on exporting to SWF, see

1 Set up your document for exporting to SWF. For example, you may want to add navigation buttons and page

transitions. See “

Create interactive SWF (Flash) files for the web

” on page 518.

2 Choose File > Export.

3 Specify a location and a filename.

4 For Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac

OS), choose SWF, and click Save.

5 In the Export SWF dialog box, specify the following options, and then click OK.

Size (pixels)

Specify whether the SWF file is scaled by a percentage, fit to a monitor size you specify, or sized

according to the width and height you specify.

Pages

Indicate whether all pages in the document are included, or specify a page range, such as 1-7, 9 to print pages

1 through 7 and 9. See

Specifying pages to print

” on page 586.

Spreads

If this option is selected, each spread is treated as a single clip in the SWF file, regardless of how many

pages appear in each spread. If this option is not selected, each page acts as a separate clip, like its own slide in a
slideshow.

Rasterize Pages

This option converts all InDesign page items to bitmap. Selecting this option results in a larger

SWF file, and page items may appear jagged when zoomed in on.

Generate HTML File

Select this option to generate an HTML page that plays back the SWF file. This option is

especially useful for quickly previewing the SWF file in your web browser.

View SWF After Exporting

Select this option to play back the SWF file in your default web browser. This option is

available only if you generate an HTML file.

Text

Specify how InDesign text is output. Choose InDesign Text To Flash Text to output searchable text that results

in the smallest file size. Choose InDesign Text To Vector Paths to output the text as a series of smooth straight lines,
