Hi everyone: I'm trying to figure out some workflows for our publications department to convert their final InDesign-formatted catalogue files into ePub and I'm finding it's not as straightforward as I hoped it would be.
First, the final copy of the catalogue has the spine and cover pages at the front, so those need to be edited and moved about for ease of reading on a browser. Second, they're not currently embedding their metadata, and I'm not sure where the ISBN number should go, or editors and authors, etc. IPTC doesn't seem to cut it here. And third, the Calibre conversion to ePub is... yeah. Multiple columns within the pages get scrambled a bit, and setting up the TOC is a bit maddening. I'd hoped the Adobe suite would have a nice conversion tool by now, but not that I can see. So, does anyone happen to have some workflows for converting museum catalogues figured out, and that they'd be willing to share with me? Thanks in advance, ~Perian Cohen _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: [email protected] To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
