创建大量图形、跨平台电子书的最佳方式?
我一直致力于将图形和布局繁重的书籍(在 Adobe InDesign 中创建)转换为具有非标准功能(嵌入式视频、音频、交互性等)的跨平台电子书。
从 InDesign 导出为 EPUB 或其他类似格式似乎不太适合我使用的书籍类型。存在布局丢失、图像分裂等各种问题。
在所有可用的不同格式中,它看起来像是 HTML5 和 HTML5 的组合。 JavaScript 是最好的方法。不过,我能想到的唯一方法是将每个页面导出为 JPEG(不带文本),然后将页面图像放入 HTML shell,并使用 DIV 标签添加文本(使用 CSS 格式化)。
这看起来工作量很大,而且导出页面图像来制作电子书的想法对我来说似乎很业余。
我意识到 HTML5 目前还不太跨平台,但这对我来说现在不是问题。我知道 Adobe 有其他更好的选择,但我也需要这些书才能在 iPad 上运行。除非/直到 Apple 更改条款,否则我无法使用 Adobe 开发的用于将 InDesign 制作的书籍转换为应用程序的技术。
此外,我想添加 epub 和 PDF 等格式不支持的自定义功能,但使用 HTML+JS 相对简单。
是否有更好的方法从 InDesign 转换为某种跨平台电子书格式?或者将所有内容都转换为 HTML,而不仅仅是创建页面图像并手动添加所有文本?
I have been working on converting graphics and layout heavy books (created in Adobe InDesign) into cross-platform eBooks with non-standard functionality (embedded video, audio, interactivity, etc).
Exporting from InDesign to EPUB or other similar formats don't seem to work very well with the types of books I work with. There are all kinds of problems with layout being lost, images getting split apart, etc.
Out of all the different formats available, it looks like a combination of HTML5 & JavaScript is the best way to go. Though, the only way I can figure to do this is to export each page as a JPEG (without the text), then put the page images into an HTML shell, and add in the text using DIV tags (formatting with CSS).
This seems like a lot of work, and the idea of exporting images of pages to make an eBook seems embarrassingly amateurish to me.
I realize that HTML5 isn't quite cross-platform at the moment, but that's not an issue for me right now. I know that Adobe has other options that would be better, but I also need these books to work on the iPad. Unless/until Apple changes their terms, I can't use the technology Adobe developed for the purpose of converting books made in InDesign into apps.
Further, I'd like to add custom features that formats like epub and PDF don't support, but are relatively simple using HTML+JS.
Is there a better way of going from InDesign to some kind of cross-platform eBook format? Or getting everything to HTML, rather than just creating images of the pages and manually adding in all the text?

有多少个目标市场就有多少种电子书格式,因此这里没有简单的答案。
由于您热衷于维护设计,因此有一些基于网络的跨平台电子书格式可以保留布局并允许添加实际价值(Xplana),而其他格式则仅保留布局(CourseSmart、VitalBook)。 Inkling 是一家针对 iPad 的新创公司,它提供了一些希望。 Adobe 使内容转换变得很容易,但除了 PDF 之外,除了一些高端杂志的公开实验外,他们目前没有什么值得注意的,而且即使 Apple 允许,Flash 也绝对不是电子书的答案。
在几乎所有情况下,您都不用担心转换问题,只需移交经过 Web 优化的 PDF,出版服务公司(或发行商本身)就会为您处理将其转换为您的目标所需的格式市场。
最终,您将找不到能够满足您所有需求的单一跨平台格式。这可以说是目前图书出版界的一个圣杯。我建议您根据您的需求编写 RFP,并联系一些出版服务公司或高端排版商,看看他们能提供什么。
There are as many eBook formats as there are target markets, so there is no easy answer here.
Since you are keen on maintaining the design, there are some cross-platform eBook formats that are web-based that preserve layouts and allow to add real value (Xplana) and others that simply preserve the layout (CourseSmart, VitalBook). Inkling, a new startup for the iPad, offers some promise. Adobe makes it easy to transform content, but other than PDF they have nothing of note right now except for a couple of public experiments with high-end magazines, and Flash is definitely not an answer for eBooks even if Apple allowed it.
In pretty much all cases, you don't worry about the conversion, you just simply hand over web-optimized PDFs, and a publishing services company (or the distributers themselves) handle the conversion for you to the format that you need for your target market.
In the end, you won't find a single cross-platform format that is going to meet all of your needs. That's a bit of a Holy Grail of book publishing right now. I'd recommend writing up an RFP for your needs and contacting some publishing services companies or high-end compositors to see what they have to offer.
