I edited this to remove the urgent notice. The publisher does not want to publish this book as an epub.

The basic problem remains, however.

When exporting an epub 3.0 from an academic book written in English with some RTL text sections, typically tables with Hebrew and English text, the epub exports in reverse order. That is, the title page is at the end of the epub, and the last page of the text is the first in the epub. So far it seems that the presence of any RTL elements, even a single character, causes the epub to export as if it were an RTL book.

17.2.1, 17.1 and 17.0.1 all export the same way.

The reflowable epub export General tab has the Content -> Order set to "Based on Page Layout". That is the only option available.

To reproduce, export to reflowable epub a book with a few RTL elements. I created a 50 page 6×9 in. lorem ipsum ID document with three Hebrew words in the first sentence; exporting the file as a reflowable epub results in the first page at the end of the file. Even a single RTL character is sufficient to export with the first page at the end of the epub.

I cannot attach my .indd test file; it should be be easy enough to create one.

The attached screen snap shows that the epub page ordering is from right to left.

• InDesign 15.1.2 / Mac OS 10.15.6

• Create an InDesign document with Arabic content. Apply any Arabic font.

• When exporting to EPUB (Fixed Layout) we should see the Arabic text appear in the epub viewer in similar manner as it shows in InDesign document.

• The exported epub document is viewed in Apple's Books application, and Adobes Digital Editions 4.5 with similar problems in both epub viewers, where all Arabic text is either invisible or messed up and shifted from its location.

• Attached images from InDesign document, and epub file which was exported from InDesign.

Swipe gesture not working in Android Chrome.

https://helpx.adobe.com/us/indesign/using/publish-online.html
Among the contents of the above page, "Smoother page transitions with swipe gesture improvements" is specified.

However, the swipe gesture function works normally in IOS-based browsers, but does not work in Android-based browsers (Chrome).

Very inconvenient for Android based customers/clients.

To go to the next page, touch the bottom of the screen to bring up the navigation menu/button that disappears every time, and then press the "next page button". The customer/client should repeat this behavior on every page.

This is a very serious bug and must be fixed asap.

I've tested it on several Android mobile devices, and the bug is the same.

My mobile/browser specification information is captured and attached.

INDD 2019 v14.0.2 x64.

I have an INDD book. I export the book to PDF and everything is fine. I export it to ePub and many things go wrong:
(1) spacing between words goes haywire. This appears to happen when they are Small Caps.

(2) Certain characters are missing and not rendered - for example ḷ, ṇ, ṃ, ṭ, etc.
(3) Footnote hyperlinks are no longer working.
(4) ToC hyperlinks are not working.

I attach both PDF and ePub files. System doesn't let me attach epub or zip files si I renamed epub file to "Udana-Master-epub.pdf" - please change file ext to get an epub file. Thanks.

When exporting a document containing hyperlinks and/or cross-references to HTML, some hyperlinks are lost.

See the screenshot of an example InDesign document attached. (This is an anonymised excerpt from a much larger document.) The index item at the bottom contains cross-references to numbered/lettered paragraphs in the text above.

In the actual HTML output files from both InDesign 2020 and 2021, some of those cross-references have not been correctly converted into hyperlinks. (Compare the links in the expected HTML output file.)

Ugly workaround: insert extra characters immediately before and after each distinct hyperlink/cross-reference. In the actual 'bookended links' HTML file you can see that I have inserted a $-sign before/after each hyperlink, and the links have been exported correctly. The $-sign can then be removed by search/replace in a text editor to produce the correct HTML (this is how the expected HTML file was created).

When it happens in a document, it happens consistently: the same hyperlinks are lost each time – but within the document there seems to be no pattern to the links that stick and the links that disappear once exported.

This example has been tested in InDesign 16.4 x64 and 15.1.4 x64 on Windows 10 and 16.3.2 on macOS Big Sur and the results are the same in each.

InDesign 16.4

When i publish a document using 'publish online' it doesn't work correctly on mobile. When you first load it up on mobile the navigation bar at the bottom is there, but if you click anything on the page the navigation bar disappears. This then means you can't navigate through the rest of the brochure.

I've tried this on multiple mobile browsers including Chrome, Edge & Brave and the same happens on each.

This is a major issue for us as a lot of people will want to view this document on mobile.

I've attached a couple of screenshots

Thanks

Publish Online is an unreliable source for analytics, one its touted features, and it needs to be resolved immediately.

Here's an idea: make it function in ANY web browser or get rid of it entirely. I don't care if it has a 90-minute lag time, please just start somewhere and fix this issue. I am so unbelievably frustrated that I was able to provide analytics after one hour of publishing my document and now, three days later, nothing appears. It's embarrassing and humiliating when part of my job relies on this to function as expected and it NEVER does when I actually need it to.

Hey all,

Really seeking some help or guidance here, we've been experiencing issues with all of our users attempting to upload/publish a document within InDesign (This is occurring with all InDesign files and on all machines I've tested so far).

I have performed a fresh installation into a virtual machine running Windows 10 (10.0.18363.1854) and version 17.0 of InDesign where the issue is occurring also.

I have followed https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/upload-error-publishing-indesign-document.html#sa_src=web-messag... however disabling network proxy is not an option as we're an enterprise environment.

I can see 200's for reaching the endpoints mentioned in various Adobe support documentation however I have been able to identify that InDesign will ignore the PAC file and attempt to go directly to some Amazon endpoints which is causing the error.

I contacted Adobe Support via Chat and was advised my request was forwarded to an expert however I have received no communications since then or a reference number to persue the matter.

Is there any additional settings within InDesign where I can specify a proxy?

Many thanks in advance,
