You can&#8217;t just convert a PDF into an Epub that can be used effectively for e-readers as it requires style formatting  and further editing.  One thing that was super annoying was that Bold &#038; Italic text wasn&#8217;t showing properly. The Epub worked fine in Adobe Digital Editions, but the font style didn&#8217;t show up correctly in Calibre.<\/p>\n<p>One way to fix this is to manually dig into the Epub and change the CSS (rename the file&#8217;s extension from .epub to .zip or .rar -> open it -> find &#8220;template.css&#8221; -> edit the CSS in an editor such as Dreamweaver -> save -> rename file extention back to .epub). This option is very tedious and sensitive to errors, but it does the job.<\/p>\n<p>Later I found out it could have been fixed way easier&#8230; Upon exporting your Epub in InDesign, go to the <strong>Contents<\/strong> tab and <strong>Uncheck<\/strong> &#8220;Include Embeddable Fonts&#8221;. This is very counter intuitive as you might think you would want to embed any fonts for it to be able to display your fonts properly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/font_export.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/font_export.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/font_export.jpg 545w, https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/font_export-281x300.jpg 281w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAnyway, easy fix&#8230; took me hours to figure out&#8230; hopefully I can save someone some headaches \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to fix Bold &#038; Italic text not showing up in Epubs after exporting in InDesign<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1079],"tags":[1902,1903,434,1904,1035,1905,1143,1906,1144,1907,1311,1529,1542,1619,1770,1781,1898,1899,1900,1901],"class_list":["post-3016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-how-to-fix-stuff","tag-dreamweaver","tag-calibre","tag-adobe","tag-ade","tag-css","tag-rar","tag-bold","tag-rename","tag-italic","tag-pdf","tag-embed","tag-indesign","tag-font","tag-fix","tag-digital-editions","tag-zip","tag-text","tag-stylesheet","tag-not-showing","tag-display"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/font_export.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1mtRf-ME","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3016"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3016\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3041,"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3016\/revisions\/3041"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elwinlee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
