Jun 25, 2012 10:32 AM

I am trying to use Export for command to send a pdf file placed into In Design to epub format.

 

The program crashes immeadiately.

 

The PDF is 120 pp and includes a TOC. The OS is Win 7 Pro.

    The PDF will simply show up as a graphic.

     

     

     

    Were you expecting it to be converted to a live epub?

    What are you trying to accomplish? Are you thinking that this PDF will be converted to an EPUB with live text?

     

     

     

    It won’t. You will have an epub with 120 JPG images and no TOC at all.

     

     

     

    I don’t know why it’s crashing but it doesn’t matter anyway since, I imagine, you are under the false impression that you will get a functional epub doing this.

    If you still want to diagnose the crash, the first thing to try is to export half of the book at a time.

    PDF's are placed like images. Are the linked? What are the Object/Object settings for each image for Epub? As mentioned here, if you expect the PDF to become epub text you are not understanding how things work... :-(
