PDF, POD, ePUB Generation
Closed this issue · 3 comments
At this point the web version is almost complete (except for the Guide images, which we are still waiting for). The remaining tasks concern the other output formats we want to generate from the publication:
PDF (with images)Print on Demand (created via the PDF above)ebook version
Right now basic PDF generation is working via PrinceXML: there is a print template which outputs simplified HTML, which Prince then parses for a PDF.
Tasks to do in this area:
Include multiple images (not just main image) in PDF and Ebook output. Main image should be larger / full page, others should be smaller.How are margins, cropping, bleeds, etc. handled? CMYK color?- Epub generation
PDF Generation is now mostly working, thought styles can of course be refined.
Here's a sample of the current output (downsized for web):
At this point the main remaining piece is getting Epub output working, along with some PDF-specific fixes like print version of the map. @geealbers do we have an epub template I should start experimenting with?
Well, one way or another, we did generate all the necessary formats. And more importantly, learned some lessons along the way that we'll be able to apply to future books. Closing.
