CircularFLO outputs .epub3 of wrong sizes

Question

I do convertion with Circular FlO from .indd to .epub.

The e-books I receive displayed fine in iBooks, but in my app pages are displayed zoomed. See the image and .epub in dropbox

The problem is that CircularFLO creates .xhtmls in .epub with dimentions quite bigger than 1024*660 - size of our app screen on iPad4. My .indd file has page sizes 1024*660px but when I output it with CircularFLO .xhtml pages are 1749*1128px. See a line from .xhtml: Why CircularFLO alters view port sizes and how to fix that?

Answer 1

I work for Circular Software and can tell you why. We are aiming our CircularFLO tool at publishers with existing print documents of any size and we don't assume any prior knowledge of viewports / pixel dimensions etc.

Instead we us the page proportion and adapt to 2 megapixels area (this area can be altered in the boilerplate, see our instructions page)

I will suggest we make an adaption to a forthcoming update whereby if pages have been designed using pixels rulers (instead of inches or mm for example) we offer to keep to the pixel dimensions exactly as the user has set.
