Lift live text from base artwork
Simplify and quickly prepare InDesign pages for read aloud and interactivity.
For fully illustrated books where text sits above the underlying artwork we can use Circular Software tools to separate the text from the images.
In doing so, CircularFLO manages the EPUB export in a better way than InDesign, merging base images to a background layer that provides retina quality at lower file sizes and with cleaner code.
To separate live text and base artwork onto the required layers:
- Choose CircularFLO Window menu > Live Text Tools
- Click Lift live text from base artwork
CircularFLO creates FLO_BASE and INDD_LIVE_TEXT layers and the live text and base artwork are automatically moved to their respective layers.
The INDD_LIVE_TEXT layer is optional but recommended for documents which haven't used InDesign layers feature. If documents have existing layers, then the base layers can be renamed FLO_BASE to take advantage of these features.
