Contents
Introduction
EEA Epub product allows you to import in Plone epub files. On upload, Epub content will imported as Plone folders, files, images and documents.
Export to Epub is also available.
Note that only epub files created with “Adobe InDesign CS4” are supported for import.
Main features
EEA Epub features:
Import epub files as Plone content.
Export into epub format.
EEA Epub makes the following assumptions:
You don’t use unicode or other special characters into the name of the epub, images or links
You’ve created the epub with “Adobe InDesign CS4” which uses some standards for thr following:
The table of contents is named toc.ncx and is placed inside OEBPS
Book text & images are placed inside the folder OEBPS or other folders that are children of OEBPS
Items ids doesn’t contain the following characters . / ( if possible stick to letters, numbers and - _ )
Best practices when creating an epub:
Chapter names should not be all uppercase or use special characters
Image names should not contain spaces, periods, / or other special characters
Epubs that were created with “Adobe inDesign CS4” but failed to upload:
At this moment any errors that would appear on the site are surpressed by the info message: “An error occur during upload, your EPUB format may not be supported”
If you’ve made the epub with “Adobe InDesign CS4” and yet you get this info message then please reopen this ticket and upload there the troubleing epub: https://svn.eionet.europa.eu/projects/Zope/ticket/3883

Installation
The easiest way to get eea.epub support in Plone 4 using this package is to work with installations based on zc.buildout. Other types of installations should also be possible, but might turn out to be somewhat tricky.
To get started you will simply need to add the package to your “eggs” and “zcml” sections, run buildout, restart your Plone instance and install the “eea.epub” package using the quick-installer or via the “Add-on Products” section in “Site Setup”.
You can download a sample buildout at:
https://svn.eionet.europa.eu/repositories/Zope/trunk/eea.epub/buildouts
Getting started
From “Add new” menu select “EpubFile” and upload an epub file.
