Creating EBOOKS and EPUBS from InDesign

Mike McHugh — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:18:48 +0000

Hello everyone that attended my ebook presentation at the InDesign Users Group in Melbourne.
As promised here are a bunch of resources that you may like. Firstly here is my Mikes Ebook slides.
If you want to try authoring in Adobe Buzzword, you should create an account on acrobat.com and Buzzword can export to both PDF and epub, however its quite basic. If you want to be able to publish for the Kindle store you may need to follow this pdf guide InDesign to Kindle and epub If you want to bust open a epub file and edit the goodies inside like the CSS then you could use this Adobe Air Application PDFXML inspector It will most certainly do the trick. If you are keen on reading your epubs and pdf files on the iPhone then you should try Stanza and you can send your files from one device to another very easily. You could also try i2reader I have not, but you may love it! it works much the same way as Stanza.

If you would like some more info on the Adobe Content Server for DRM or even Digital Editions you should check out these pages. there is also a link to the content server on there, but you will have to have more than a man look. As well as all this there is also an excellent video on the topic from last Octobers Max conference in LA. It goes on for while but if you really need to make these things then this will help you do it.

Oh and if you have any questions you should ask the two masked banditos from the www.thequestionroom.com and follow them on twitter @thequestionroom Then of course there was that video of the digital version of wired magazine. Thats truely awesome. Its on Adobe TV.

Mike McHugh — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 22:25:41 +0000

Adobe Creative Suite 4 is upon us, and I couldn’t be more excited, even if I was twins. We have a series of events coming up that everyone will be able to attend in Person or online if you wish to find out more. I will be posting my launch to CS4 video as soon as I record it, but have been busy with launch CS4 parties in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland.It Rocks there are literally hundreds if not thousands of mind blowing new features and enhancements to all the software. If I had to pick the most magical of them all it would be the content aware scaling in Photoshop CS4. I’m also a HUGE fan of the 3d capabilities in Photoshop CS4 extended that allows you to create “lenticular” images and 3D images that you can view with those wierd red and blue glasses like at the movies. If you like to view heaps more why not tune in to Adobe TV there is heaps video on CS4 over there http://tv.adobe.com/ The InDesign Users groups in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland are ALL having CS4 launch parties.
